RIP Tom Magliozzi

[Retroman1969]

What a shock! I really hate to hear that. It was also a weekly tradition for me for over 20 years. Awesome guys with great outlook on life. And Tom's rants were always my favorite part of the show.
Have the Car Talk app on my phone so I can listen anytime I need to relax or have a good laugh.
RIP Tom, and thanks guys for the fun memories.

That is a loss. I, too, listened to CAR TALK for years. My late father always had the show on the radio in his basement workshop or garage whenever I went over to his house on Saturdays to help out (or get help with) various projects. The good humor was infectious. And a welcome change of pace.

I've finally got the kids used to the idea that they can't walk into the room and talk over the radio between 0900-1000h on Saturdays.
Their (Tom & Ray's) attitude, some mixture of benevolent father figure, wiseass,and experienced mechanic friend, was always good for a feel-good laugh.
And it was inter-generational, being one of the few programs that I and my late father could enjoy together.
I have missed the new programming, but will continue to enjoy the reruns, hopefully with Tom's blessing.
