Also, I still can't take the new Fiats on the road seriously.
RIP, Tom. I wish I were ever as much the complete package when comes to mechanical things as you were.
I loved Click and Clack. Their laughter and enthusiasm was always infectious. No matter how down I was, listening to Car Talk always lifted me up. Though they were exceedingly smart and good at what they do, their self-deprecating attitude humanized them, and really instilled the lesson of humility. Will miss him and the show.
Well put. Their good natured self deprecation was hilarious but also so sweet. You really felt the bond they had between each other, with their audience, and their love of the show.
You could tell these two truly had a special friendship and it clearly came through in how they interacted with each other. There were no malicious stabs or cheap shots, it was all lighthearted fun and jesting.
He will be missed. Definitely end of a radio era.
Soo… Apparently the show as you all have known it for the last two years will be unaffected. Alternately, the show died two years ago and you never noticed.
EDIT: I thought that this news meant the show was ending and was surprised to read that actually the show would not change. So I thought I’d highlight this fact that the show would not change. There was no offense intended.
RIP. They were so entertaining. I never knew shit about cars but always felt a bit of excitement when I was in the car and heard that we'd be listening to them instead of some of my parents' music. Also this is pretty great: > Tom and Ray Magliozzi did open that do-it-yourself repair shop in the early '70s. They called it Hackers Heaven.
Don't care about cars. Care about those devices called "humans". These dudes fixes and tuned the latter while appearing to fix and tune the former. And one will not be the same without the other. So many fond memories...

> Tom and Ray haven't done the show live for two years; Car Talk has been airing archives of old shows. Berman says Ray would like to continue doing that, as a tribute to his brother.

That's how this comes off. By the way, many people are completely aware that they've been off the air, and still find this saddening. In your attempt to be clever or somehow revealing a secret, you've come off as arrogant and insensitive.
I hope Melissa "the Twerp" Peterson ( http://www.wnyc.org/story/1421-my-dog-hates-you-too/ ) does a eulogy for him. (Girl who wrote a letter complaining that the show sucked and that she had to listen because her parents did in the car... they had her on and she'd periodically call in for years) My all-time favorite was the episode where someone called in and said that their vehicle would run pretty well but with lot…
