Can you solve this week's puzzler?

A Snowy Night

Puzzler time. This is a winter puzzler. Here ya go.

It was winter, years ago.

Our producer had his car parked on the street. It had been snowing for days, and another storm was on the way. And he decided since there was more snow coming, that he would move the car from the street to the driveway, so the car didn't get mixed up with the snow plows.

So he shoveled his driveway of the old snow and then pulled his car in. Because he was a little lazy, he didn't shovel the whole driveway. Just where he was gonna put the car. There was just enough room for his car to fit. It's snowing a bit, but it has kind of stopped. And he figures, since he shoveled just enough to fit the car in the driveway, he will be all set in the morning and he can just take right off. So, he backs into the cleared spot in the driveway, shuts the car off and then goes inside for the night.

He wakes up in the morning with the belief that everything was going to be perfect. He comes out. Sure enough, his car is sitting right there. And he gets in and he turns the key. And it makes this low whirring sound. He keeps trying, and it keeps cranking and cranking, but it won't start. So he gives up and goes back into the house.

So he has the car towed to his friendly mechanic, to check out what's going on.

The car gets towed to the garage, they try to start it, and it doesn't start either. So, the mechanics go have some coffee and do other things.

They come back to the car a few hours later, and it starts right up. And they can find nothing wrong with it at all.

And in fact, there was nothing wrong with the car, but there was something wrong with what our producer did with the car that night.

What was it?

Answer the Puzzler »

Remember last week's puzzler?

Deluxe Model

For this one, you have to use your imagination. Imagine it is many years ago, and you overhear a conversation happening near you. You hear your neighbors talking.

Okay here's what you overheard.

"Boy, it was a great machine and the Ford dealers sold me the deluxe model for only $1 more."

And then later on in the conversation you hear, "So then I would go back to the Ford dealership where I would buy the fuel for only five cents a pound."

What are they talking about?

And the hint is you couldn't get this at your Chevrolet dealer, or your Buick dealer.

Good luck.
