I am new to the community (though not to the program, which I have followed almost longer than I’ve been driving). What brought me here was a google search on towing a boat. And when I saw Car Talk come up, I thought, “Of course! Click and Clack will have something to say!”. But how can I search the archives?

We get a lot of repeat questions, many first responses are check the manual. There is not a search previously posted aggravation that goes on here, but you may need to scroll down and type info into the blank box before the go button to see previous questions.
