Dr. Cranky Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Man, that is very sad, his voice will be missed on the radio. It was the very best thing on NPR. Thanks for posting.
unclescott58 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 NO! Oh wow! What a shock. I'm very sorry to hear about this. RIP Tom. Scott
Bill J Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Click and Clack, Tappet brothers have always been one of the best things to listen to on the radio. RIP Tom, you'll be remembered. I hope NPR keeps playing Car Talk for decades!
Maindrian Pace Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Back in the early '80s, I had a particularly boring job at a hospital, developing X-ray films in a darkroom near the radiology department. I had to work almost every Saturday, and Click and Clack made the job bearable; even fun. Great show, and in between the riotous laughter, they actually answered almost all of the questions correctly as near as I could tell. RIP Tom.
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 77 is too young. Those guys were very entertaining in a slightly annoying kind of way. Always good for a laugh. Sorry to hear it.
niteowl7710 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I wasted so many perfectly good hours on the weekends listening to Car Talk. Back before XM (or SiriusXM as it became) Car Talk was one of those shows that was carried on every non-musical NPR station at pretty much the same time. Sad to hear, but Tom had Alzheimers and who would want to live that way. They retired two years ago last month, and I'm not sure how many people who weren't regular listeners even realized, the Best Of stuff is so timeless.
Lunajammer Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 My GF told me. The most non-car oriented woman I know was a big Car Talk fan. Sad about Tom. Weekend public radio goes back to tree hugging.
niteowl7710 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 My GF told me. The most non-car oriented woman I know was a big Car Talk fan. Sad about Tom. Weekend public radio goes back to tree hugging. They're supposed to keep airing the Edited "Best Of" shows based on the wishes of Ray and his family. Even after it stopped being live it's still one of the most listened to Entertainment programs NPR carries.
mnwildpunk Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Very sad to hear they are icons of NPR I wish Ray and the rest of the family that they find peace during an awful time
