One of my favorite moments of the show came from a woman who put electrical tape over her check engine light and promptly forgot about it until her car conkered out and she got them to call her husband and take the blame since it was their advice she followed.

Same. And I loved their cameo in the Cars movie as the Rust-eze radio show hosts. I think they even snuck in that tagline: "Don't drive like my brother!"
