Click and Clack: Space retards, and their callers are worse
So I’m on the way back from my last day of skunking, saturday, and on the way, NPR is the only station I can get for about fifteen miles.
Click and Clack come on. I leave it there because their utter lack of useful knowledge always amuses me.
A caller comes on, saying “I need a safe car that has features that help a really bad driver. I tend to hit things and back into cars while parking etc. etc. etc”.
She goes on to describe how she needs lots of cupholders and lots of power jacks for cellphones and other accessories, and generally displays what an ignorant and unattentive driver she is, and THEN GOES ON TO TELL THEM SHE IS A PHYSICIAN.
This is a not-so-subtle reminder, folks. Not every doctor graduated top of his or her class; in fact, the odds that you got the bimbo that sat in the back of class twirling her hair between her fingers and thinking about the sale at LS Ayres that evening are pretty good. Or the guy who drank his way through classes and had Daddy buy him good test scores.
Anyway, instead of suggesting that she buy a used Yugo and drive it as fast as possible downhill into a concrete bridge abutment, which would be USEFUL advice, Click and clack suggest she buy a Volvo wagon with the four wheel drive and all kinds of other options. Pitiably, I forget where she said she was from.
So if you’re driving around and see an obvious idiot in a nice new Volvo driving like a moron, using her tires as curb feelers, and backing into things while talking on her cellphone, do yourself a favor and GET AWAY. While you’re at it, get a tag so you can find out what she’s a doctor of, and if it’s anything more complex than dermatology, make sure nobody you love is ever under her care.

Never trust anybody who drives a car named after a part of the female anatomy.
Hope ya had a good Christmas bud.
You too, Dick. Guys like you make it worthwhile.
Didn’t hear that one, but have heard other calls similar when the REALLY OBVIOUS right answer would be “Get an SUV.” But, of course, Click and Clack are anti-SUV watermelons, so they advise Volvos.
Idiots.

Well, I don’t want an idiot like that in an SUV – that’s just extra tonnage for her to kill someone and never even notice. At least with a Volvo the rest of us stand some meager chance of living through an encounter with this – ahem – physician.
They should’ve told her to hire a driver! It would be cheaper and safer for the world.
Oh yeah… trust me on this – you do NOT want a bad Dermatologist. Having had to live through several (skin cancer), there is no such thing as a “default” rinky dink medical field… even Dermatology.
Does anyone *besides* guilty white liberals drive Volvos?
Yeah Desert Cat, wannabe guilty black guys who are ever so slightly retarded.
Theresa, I trust you- I’m just saying, if I have to choose a heart surgeon, I’m gonna choose one who CAN DRIVE. yeah, I know some crappy dermatologists too.
Our single neighbor drives a volvo and a corvette. HE’S very insecure. (grins).To top that,his cat’s name was Bud until he was neutered.Then the name changed to Bud Light.

I’ve been listening to Click and Clack for over 15 years now. Learned some stuff, laughed a lot. And yeah, they’re idiots. They tell ya all the time. My wife calls them heckle and jeckle cuz she can’t stand their laughter. And they recommend too many foreign brands, although that’s changing.
Happy New Year Og.
I’d drive a Volvo. The old 122 is stylish, and I wouldn’t turn down a new V70R, either.
Cargo space, comfort, and 300 horsepower!
I’m secure enough in my manhood to drive a foreign station-wagon, especially if it can outrun those twits with uglified Civics.
(Heck, you could do a lot worse than a 240 for a drive-it-till-it-dies beater, for that matter.)
Hey, I got no trouble with vulvas, just the fucktards driving ’em.
I gotta confess, I’ve been listening to Click and Clack since high school. But I will say the older I’ve gotten and the better I’ve become at fixing stuff the less funny or useful those guys seem to me.
I remember pre med majors from my science classes at Purdue. Some of them weren’t very bright. And they want to operate on me? On my kids?
Just to throw in, it’s possible she’s one of those people who’s an absolute genius at one thing, and a freakin’ retard in everything else.
They don’t recommend a SUV because you have to know how to turn corners without tipping over, thus the Volvo.
And, don’t confuse intelligence with spatial awareness. Seems like they often contradict.
I like Click and Clack by the way, still entertaining.
I think Click and Clack would be completely entertaining of they prefaced the show with “these men escaped from a mental institution”
It seems to me that you should know how to turn corners no matter what you drive.Merging onto a freeway is another convenient ability. Naturally, that’s just my opinion.Mark and I both drive suv’s. This is my third. His first. Haven’t rolled em . No accidents or tickets. Skill ? Luck ? Karma .
