On Car Talk some guy called asking if it was safe to take a new used Chevy Tahoe on a roadtrip, something about him not being sure he trusted it yet as he just got it. Their response was basically go for it, and also it's not an adventure till something goes wrong, something like that. Got me to thinking about all of the used cars we've taken down to Mexico. Before I was born my folks took and old Opal station wagon. The only new car they've ever bought, a '80 Diesel Volkswagon Rabbit survived one trip. The '55 Chevy Pickup made a couple of trips. As did the '73 Toyota Landcruiser. A Toyota fastback passenger car survived one trip. Heck, a 70s Datsun station wagon survived some crazy roads, although just barely. Baja Bugs work down there, VW Vans not so much. Toyota 4Runners work well. Good times.
On Wait Wait the 'not my job' questions were about Dario, the butcher in Tuscany. I've mentioned him before on the blog. He's pictured in Jamie Oliver's Jamie's Italy. He's featured in Heat by Bill Buford. Clare ate at his restaurant with her family.
