xcarguy Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That is sad. One of my all time favorite programs. Tom will be missed. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 NPR continues to run "Best of Car Talks". Definitely an all-time favorite of mine. Cars were just an excuse for them to cut-up and laugh, tho they did know their stuff-as might be expected of two MIT grads working as mechanics.

wemtd Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I remember them once mentioning a lotus 7 to a caller looking for a bare-bones car. you can all guess the manner in which they recommended the se7en. Their description was spot on: down to the detail that "we've all got the same screw loose" as has been said before on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Tom and Ray were always entertaining, even when they took their car examples to extremes. My son (living in Cambridge at the time) was on their show once, after he lost 5th gear in his Honda hatchback. BTW, there is a gold-lettered window in a second-floor office on Harvard Square in Cambridge that says, "Dewey, Cheatham & Howe." The thing that I now regret most is that Tom and Ray always dumped on Alaska and those who choose to live here, every time a caller from Alaska was on the show -- and we Alaskans never got the chance to have Tom and Ray come up to Alaska and visit, to really learn how (and why) we live here.
