A moment of silence for the passing of Tom Magliozzi
If you are reading this site you have no doubt listened to Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers on NPR's "Car Talk" radio program at some point. They went off the air recently after many years in radio. The news that Tom passed due to complications of Alzheimers is very sad indeed. I can't tell you the number of hours I've passed on long car trips being entertained and informed about cars listening to these guys. Simply some of the best entertainment on radio. For that single individual that has no idea what I'm talking about please take the opportunity to pull down some of their many, many podcasts and give them a listen.

Very sad. I've been listening in on the show off and on for the last year now and didn't realize those were all reruns I was listening to. Funny guys and very knowledgeable about everything auto.
