I used to listen religiously, like comfort food for the ears.

Loved those guys. That is a very sad thing.

I never heard of the guys, but sounds like a cool shoe to be listening to while working on your car

Yep, it was on on weekend mornings or early afternoon. It would keep me laughing while restoring my RR.

Sadened to hear the news. Tom will be missed by many I'm sure.

 

[Ironwolf]

Wow that's sad. RIP Tom :angel11:

 

[67Monaco]

Who?

 

[70bigblockdodge]

Who?

I believe if I remember right he was Dodge Dart in the Disney Pixar movie Cars. You figure out the rest. RIP, damn Alzheimer's not only takes your life but memory and dignity prior to the end

 

[detmatt]

Dave, I know you well enough to say that you would enjoy "Car Talk". Do yourself a favor and look for reruns on NPR.

 

[67Monaco]

Must be before my time. I mean I know the kids movie and the character. But the guy, never heard of him or the show.

 

[70NPORT]

Me neither. Never heard of the guys before. Sounds like I would have liked to catch a show or two on the radio.

 

[mdh157]

sorry to hear abt this, these guys are always a pleasure to listen to

 

[Zymurgy]

Great guys I used to listen all the time too. I have a friend that would listen to and never turned a wrench on his car. Now that is entertainment and good sound advice, even if you don't do the work yourself.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

They are definatly funny, I think some of the callers were dummies but that made it more enjoyable.

 

[Stormer]

I download their podcast every week, or used to, I should say.

They were also syndicated in the newspapers where I read them all the time.

Funny guys. MIT graduates, if you can believe that. Tom was a degreed chemical engineer IIRC. Rip
