"And don't drive like my brother."


They had a very informative show and they obviously enjoyed
what they were doing. I tuned in whenever I could. RIP Tom.

What place "Car Talk" had on NPR.

But I always enjoyed their bantering and advice, and the Puzzle.

that show regularly. I loved all their comedy while giving very good advice on car maintenance. I learned some important lessons from them. Hopefully if there is rest in death, his is in peace.

I've been listening to them forever, like most of you. I was depressed when I heard they were retiring and now Tommy is gone.

RIP Tommy. And thank you for laughing when I said my rear-end was humming.

I used to love to hear them say the names "Don" and "Dawn"...

Edited to add...and lest ye forget, the show was called Kah Tawk...

...don't drive like my brother...

I wonder if he's going to be buried with his Dodge Dart?

I was cut up beyond reason when I read this:"' In a statement announcing his brother’s death, Ray wrote, “turns out he wasn’t kidding. He really couldn’t remember last week’s puzzler.'"

Wow, that is just too beautiful...too too beautiful..
THAT just got me - more than when I heard about Tawmee.

Such a simultaneity of laughter and sadness..
That is so human..

Thanks...

The REAL call from the REAL space shuttle?

That was my favorite of all time.
I remember exactly where I was.. driving ... on Rt 5/20 in upstate NY.

At least I think it was Wyoming. Will have to check that. What a lot of great memories and happy Saturday mornings listening to Tommy & Ray yuck it up on NPR.

May you rest in peace, Tommy, in a land where Dodge Darts are right up there with Lamborghinis!

Also a few times they got a call from McMurdo base station in Antarctica (plus the occasional other far-flung place).

I'll always remember their wit. "Sure take that trip and drive your car but getting there might be a
problem."

Long may you run.

I think I understand why they stopped. I thought it was NPR being too cheap, but perhaps Tommy was going through Alzheimers (complications? That's more rare with that disease, generally, people live quite a while with it).

They were a treasure together.
