RIP Tom Magliozzi "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers"

Sad indeed Jeff...very sad!  I had the good fortune to meet he and his brother years ago, when there was talk of taking the two of them to Cuba and have them get with the guys who really keep old cars running.   The project didn't get far, but what a joy to sit in on a broadcast and later have lunch with the two of them.

Two small things that point at a small part of what is great about Car Talk and the brothers:

 

Almost inappropriate joke from the announcement on the Car Talk website:

"Tom Magliozzi who, along with his brother Ray, hosted NPR’s hit comedy show Car Talk for the last 37 years, died Monday morning from complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. “Turns out he wasn’t kidding,” said Ray. “He really couldn’t remember last week’s puzzler.”
