What is the Internet good for if not...killing time? In fact, we've taken it upon ourselves to personally lower the United States GNP by 4.9 percent this year. As a first step, we've set up Car Talk's Time Kill Central--a collection of dumb stuff to do, fascinating things to read, and high quality interactive distractions of all kinds.  

Daily Trivia
There's trivia...then there's Tommy's Daily Didactic Diversion--a wacked- out foray into the almost-empty recesses of Tom's cranium. Complete with statistics, player divisions--even a chance to protest Tommy's occasional bogus answers (and win!). Play every day!
Mailbag
Do you wish you got more interesting mail? Well, Read ours! You won't even have to recycle the envelopes. Hear a letter or news item read on the air that you'd like to read again? It's in the mailbag. Updated every week.
Hate Mail Generator
We are the world's foremost authorities on Hate Mail--having received more than any living humans, except maybe Harry Shearer. Now, we're putting that expertise to use for you, helping you craft expert hate Mail with our interactive Hate Mail generator. You fill in the details, we crank out the mail. Try it!
Postcards
Too cheap to buy postcards and stamps? You can e-mail a postcard to a friend or loved one from Car Talk. Forget about Arbor Day? Stonewall Jackson's birthday? No problem! Have that cybercard delivered in seconds!
Opinion Poll
Help us answer the really important questions: Is there a God? Should we limit senior citizens' driving privileges? And, is your VCR still blinking at "12:00?" Take the Car Talk opinion poll. All results are interpreted by Tom and Ray (uh-oh!)
Dope Slaps
For the first time even in electronic form: the ancient Italian traditional dope slap! Used by generations to keep kids in line, now you can send one over the Internet. Know somebody who deserves a light wack to the head? (Oh, yes you do!)
Car Talk Personals
Do you screen potential mates by whether of not they like Car Talk? We've done the pre-screening for you. Just tell us whether you're a '74 Ford Pickup, a sleek red Ferrari, or a '63 Dodge Dart, or just browse the Car Talk personals for the Car Talk fan of your dreams.
The Tow Truck Drivers's Guide To Great Literature
Need something to read? Read something great recently? Check out the Car Talk bulletin board of recommended reading. Short reviews from Tom, Ray and thousands of Car Talk visitors.
Electronic Tickets
Being followed by a tailgater? Eye someone pulling into a "handicapped" parking spot? Do your part to stop boneheaded driving. Use our pre-formatted Car Talk tickets to write 'em up.
Rant and Rave
When Tom and Ray get hot under the collar...they pull over here and start writing. Read up on Tom's New Theory Of Learning....Blue Hairs Behind the Wheel...and the problem with...zoos? Or, are your own hemorrhoids swelling? Send us a guest rant and lower that systolic number!
Special Features
Take a tour through all the weekly Car Talk special features, including: a graphic look at "That Gunk on Your Windshield," an audio car sounds game, and a video tour of the Car Talk show.
