You Want What?

TOM: The auto store clerk figured it out in a minute because he wrote it down. He wrote 28, and what's the abbreviation for ounce?

TOM: O-Z.

RAY: He needed a water pump for a 280Z Datsun. They also had water pumps for 260Z or 26-oz., and a 240Z, which is a 24-oz. Pretty cute, huh? So who's our winner?

TOM: The winner this week is Fred France from Raleigh, North Carolina. And for having his answer selected at random from the heap of correct answers that we got, Fred is going to get a 26-dollar gift certificate to the Shameless Commerce Division at cartalk.com, with which he can get a special 20th anniversary Car Talk T-shirt with the greasy fingerprints factory installed.

RAY: Congratulations, Fred!
