    Got a car question that’s been burning a hole in your psyche for the past decade? Well, Ray is back for some limited engagements behind the microphone.

You’ll get access to the new calls and other prehistoric Car Talk gems, as well as complete access to about 1,000 episodes of Car Talk, too. What are you waiting for?! Car Talk+’s first bonus segment, with Ray taking caller questions, is available right now. You know what to do.
