There should be a Click and Clack led contest to replace them, Car Talk the Next Generation.


I'm sad, but I've not lived in range of Public Radio for the last 7 years.

Heard about that (Kati is an avid fan). It's the end of an era!*

Had to happen at some point. Older brother is turning what, 75?

I loved that show. I don't even give a shit about cars. I could just sit and listen to these guys laugh.

 

[ElJuski]

It makes morning drives on Sundays fun.

It was the funniest 6.5 seconds of my life, although as usual like 80% of it was just Tom and Ray's gasping, hacking laughter.

Wow. That's rreally sad.
