About this episode

Howard was in the desert down near the US/Mexico border when he realized that he was out of brake fluid with none onhand. He did, however, have some water, antifreeze, paint thinner and some high-end tequila. What would be the proper mixture of each to come up with a suitable ‘dot-Howard’ brake fluid? Or should he have just enjoyed the tequila while awaiting rescue? Find out on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
