#2363: That Little Twerp, Melissa

NPR
About this episode
Sherlock Holmes matched wits with Moriarty and Captain Ahab battled his great white whale. Who challenged Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers the most during their over 40 years doing Car Talk, you ask? Not Chrysler's legal team, nor the FCC. No, it was a 13-year-old twerp from Seattle named Melissa. Her first appearance here on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
