About this episode
Bob from Texas returns to discuss the effectiveness of using a bug bomb in his car to deal with horseflies.
The Brothers suggested Bob from Texas could rid his car of horseflies by using a ‘bug bomb’ to flood the passenger compartment with insecticide. Bob returns for our in-show ’Quality Control’ program, “Stump the Chumps”, where we all get to find out if that suggestion met the standards of sound mechanical advice or, as is more likely in Bob’s case, a negligence lawsuit. Order in the Court! for this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
