How about "Rattle and Shake" or "Good Coffee and Bad Balljoints" or "Cappuccino Greasepit"

Re: Name the new Car Talk TV show!
I've read a lot of good suggestions, but I didn't slog through every post, sorry.

My suggestion is: "Car Talk Presents: Hey, Watch This!"

I really like: "Don't Drive Like My Brother!"

How about: "Better than This American Life on TV", or "Tappit Tales TV", "Car Guys: Driving People Crazy on TV", "Crazy Cambridge Car Mavens", "Magliozzi's Garage" (if you can call an award winning TV show "Taxi" you can call a cartoon Magliozzi's Garage - and listen to people butcher the name). "Sonia Henny's Tutu and Other Strange Tales", "Don't Drive Like These Brothers", "Seat Belts Required".

My top suggestion is "Lo Carb Emissions." Kind of mashes up cars, dieting and health (hey, it's a kids show), and greenhouse gases.

Of course, "Men with Emission" would be better, but that sounds more like HBO than PBS. Pretty funny, though.

15 years ago I used to love to watch "Animaniacs" with my kids. Plenty of inside jokes for the adults. So, "Auto Maniacs" might work for an animated show.

Finally, a lot of people suggested, "Don't Drive Like My Brother," but it really needs to have "and Don't Drive Like My Brother" added to mimic the show's tag line. Why not condense it to "Don't Drive Like These Brothers." Kind of implies a subtheme for the show.

You guys are great; been laughing for years (and learning something about cars) listening to you two. Keep on Not Getting Canceled. Hey, another show title?

Oh, yeah, I forgot "Car Fare City." :)

Make that "Men on Emission." More PBS friendly.

Since it takes place in a mechanic's shop, it could be "Shop Talk."

Re: Name the new Car Talk TV show!
My suggestion: "Don't Talk Back"

Then the theme song can be "Yakkity Yak." Or even a parody of the song, with the words "Clickety-Clack" instead.

Apologies if someone's beat me to this; I don't have time to read all four thousand comments before mine! :D

How about "Car Talk, 02142". Kind of a take-off of Beverly Hills, 90210.
