This morning’s episode of WHYY’s The Pulse talked about cars. Not in a Car Talk sort of way, but more about how cars influence our lives. Yet, Ballaban managed to insert a complaint about the CEL in his car without a hint of bothering to try to figure out what caused it.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I bet that was an obnoxious broadcast.

It was alright right up until whingeing about the CEL coming on
and the car still runs great
but the CEL turned on and I don’t know what it means and IT’S STRESSING ME OUT MAN. At which point the show quickly changed tack and started talking about
interesting stuff again

Sounds like I’d be turning down the volume with a hammer. Then again, it’s not like I would have been listening for actual insight anyway.

I literally started talking back at the radio, “find out what code triggered it and GET IT FIXED, MAN!”
To be fair, The Pulse tends to have pretty good content, I just think they could’ve selected better representatives of the “car guy” stereotype from the Jel
lopicnic
corral.

And knowing one of these guys, it was just a loose gas cap.
I think the “car guy” bar is pretty low these days. Reads wikipedia = car guy. Buys old project car hell VW = car guy.
