RIP Tom Magliozzi

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.
