Looks like Tom and Ray are hanging up the spikes after 25 years.

I'll be sad to see it go as well, but there's so much archival material, I doubt many will notice.

[Fishbike]

Love those guys. They both have such a rare natural wit.

Unencumbered by the thought process...

[monkeybanana86]

I don't drive or even own a car but I do listen to them from time to time at work. Bummer.

So true. . . .and yet I believe they are both MIT guys.

Even though they're retiring in September, NPR will re-broadcast pertinent, entertaining episodes for years.

they had a great run - will be missed- worked great together

I still love the story of a handyman with a van with exhaust leaks coming thru his bumper doors. I was thinking he should get some of the "Great Stuff" to plug the rusted door leaks. He re-routed the pipes up over the rear cab portion. The bros gave him much grief over such a stupid fix.

But what I loved is that the guy would hand out drills for customer's children to drill holes in the side of the van while he was talking business with the adults.

I hope that one is retrieved from the archives for replay.:beer:

for people having issues with their bicycles. who in the forum should be anchors?

[killacks]

always enjoyed that show

[oldforester]

Thanks to them I have a fond rememberance of an old Dodge Dart with the push button shifter (not sure if campy or shimano) that my grandmother drove. She tried to kill it several times and it never would die. Finally she traded it in - she was in her 70's at the time - for a Dodge Challenger with a foil on the back.

[Hank Scorpio]

My absolute favorite NPR show. What a bummer.

[chuckroast]

Don't drive like my brother

[Johnnyg]

Love the show. A guy called in, he wants to buy a turbo Porsche, but lives in an area where he can't drive it fast. Will this hurt the car? Tom says, "not drive it fast, Gandhi couldn't drive that car slow." Wow what an answer. They will be missed.

Every call will start off, "there's a noise coming from my bottom bracket."


Which, by the way, is not that different from most of the calls that they got over the years!

Andy's letter...does one person, who know nothing about something, know more or less about something, than two people who know nothing about something. Or something like that. Bummer that they are leaving...like Click and Clack (hope they made a lot of money doing what they did).

[gasman]

Car talk-best radio car centered show. They'll be missed.
I suspect with 25 years of shows in the can I have heard only a smalll portion of them.
