#3 is great!
“The last 2 probably present copyright problems”
yeah, but didn’t PBS do Masterpiece Theater? Even if they don’t have the rights, it might be acceptable as a parody.
Dear Guys
How about…Expect Delays?

How about “The Boyz Under Da Hood”?
Gears (don’t you want to go…where everybody knows your name?)
The Fourth Half
Cambridge’s Finest?
Adventures of the Tappet Brothers
How about “The Tubeless Tires Hour” or “Harvard Square is on the Air”.

“What color is your car?”
How about naming your new show “Lug Nuts”?

My suggestion is “Don’t Drive Like My Brother”. Car-related - and immediately recognizable as Car Talk.
HBJ
Talk to Us
Short & Simple. Dates back to the days of snail mail. “Our Fair City”.
Nuts and Bolthead (you all decide who’s who)
Here are my suggestions:
- Car Noises
- Clicka,Cliska,Clacka,Clacka
- What’s Goni’ On?
- Our Fair City
- Hello. You Are On Car Talk
- The Third Half
- Not Like My Brother

I have a few suggestions. Depends on how long the show is.
1/2 hour: Car Talk’s Perfectly Good 1/2 Hour, or A Perfectly Good 1/2 Hour
1 Hour: Car Talk’s Perfectly Good Hour, or A Perfectly Good Hour.
I also want to let you know that I look forward to your show every week. I’m a truck driver and listen to it on Sirius Satellite Radio.
Thanks for everything,

Here’s a short list of some ideas I had:
Looney Tune Ups (this is probably the most legit name I came up with, course you gotta get it by Warner Bros)
Wait, Wait Don’t Bill Me!
Over the Hill and Under the Hood
Got Insurance?
Two Tools for the Job
Overhaul of Fame
Tune In, Tune Up and Up Chuck (too bad you’re not a trio)
The Exhaust Brothers (this much hot air will definitely warm the globe)
The Car Beraters
Piston My Leg!
How about: “PARDON OUR EXHAUST!”
“The Pistonis”
How about “Click & Clack’d”? The apostrophe could be a wrench that moves and whacks the Clack on the noggin which in turn causes the d to fall off the name. To be “click & clack’d” could eventually become part of our lexicon–a euphemism for “to be given rotten automotive advice.” Conversational example: Question: “Did your mechanic figure out what was wrong with you car?” Answer: “He said I needed a total engine rebuild, but I think I got click & clack’d.”
Other ideas: “All Jacked Up,” “The Harvard Coupe,” or “Cracked Block.”
Okay, let’s try…the Click and Clack CarMendy Hour
