This companion to the long-running National Public Radio show extends the lunacy that you hear on the air every Saturday. The centerpiece of Click and Clack’s home page is “Time Kill Central,” which includes features like the Hate Mail Generator (which can churn out letters to lousy mechanics) and the Daily Didactic Diversion, a trivia contest. You can also print out your own traffic tickets—like a “Blue Hair Offense” for people who can’t see over the wheel and rive 35 mph in a 65 mph zone.
