Car Talk brothers turn traitor

The New Yorker reports:

Tom and Ray Magliozzi (a.k.a. Click and Clack), the wisecracking brothers and M.I.T.-educated auto mechanics who are the hosts of the radio show "Car Talk," decided recently to launch a political crusade of sorts, against sport-utility vehicles.

[...] Together, the two brothers and the yogurt people came up with a suitably nonconfrontational motto, "Live Larger, Drive Smaller," which was to appear on bumper stickers and on Stonyfield yogurt-container lids.

[...] It turns out that the Magliozzis are not especially fond of other types of automobiles, either. "I do not own a car," Tom said. "I either ride a bicycle or use public transportation."

Man, the Marlboro Man, Ronald McDonald, Jamie Lee Curtis, and now this. Who can you trust?
