How about simply "The Mechaniacs". After listening every Saturday morning for over 10 years, I think it fits perfectly.

"Don't Drive Like My Brother!", natch!

That's it, roxfo! Oh man, that is just to perfect. "Don't Drive Like My Brother!" instantly made me laugh (like any good cartoon should) and reminded me of their show. It's easily repeatable to friends and family, and personally, I think this phrase alone will ring a bell with all repeat listeners or car talk.

Keep up the great work Click & Clack! I absolutely love your show and am a proud owner of your car talk CD.

The only other one I could think of that I like would be "Dewey Cheatum & How." That always makes me laugh when I hear it. Or pretty much any of those lines you guys use to close your show. Always hilarious!

perfect name. "don't drive like my brother!" It ties the tv show to the radio show.

Just about to suggest "Don't Drive Like My Brother" and wham -- here it is! Darn. My first thought was simply "The Click and Clack Show", but I think that's been taken too. Since I don't seem to have an original thought....I'll vote for "Don't Drive..."

Can't wait for the program! My husband and I are from Washington state, but visited your fair city in Sept. Went to One Harvard Square and looked up at Dewie, Chetham and Howe's Law Office, then looked around for one of you's guys sitting on the bench--no luck. Anyway, thanks for brightening up our grey Saturday mornings here in the soggy Puget Sound!

"Don't drive like my brother" works on so many levels it's silly.

First, if you are a fan of the radio show, it instantly ties the radio and TV show together. For better or worse ;-).

Second, if you have never heard of the radio show it brings together the basic elements of the show which are cars, car advise, family and personal relationships and how to learn from Click and Clack's numerous experiences when things don't go according to plan.

Click and Clacked
Car Talk Car Toon

By the way, who would give you two knuckleheads a cartoon show? Won't someone think of the impressionable youth who could be corrupted by this program?

In homage to an earlier TV show set in a garage, how about "Cheapo and the Man"?
