TOM: The winner this week is Kim Canavan from Louisville, Kentucky, and for having her answer selected at random from among all the correct answers that we got, Kim gets a 26-dollar gift certificate to the Shameless Commerce Division at cartalk.com, with which she can get a copy of our double CD collection called, The Best and Second Best of Car Talk.

RAY: That might be easier.
