A few years back Berle had just successfully won her hubby’s prized ’79 Mercedes in a divorce settlement and she wanted to know if she should restore it. With their vast experience with angry ex-wives, Click and Clack counseled Berle to never restore it but to be sure to drive it past his house as often as possible. Berle returns for Stump the Chumps on this episode of the Best of Car Talk to let us know if she’s still twisting the knife.
