I've never been into cars and always hate it when I have to work on my own vehicle, but I love the Hell out of this show. It was because I could tell these guys were doing what they loved and really cared about the subject.
Also, they just seemed like really great guys.
Goodbye, Click.

infinite zest - 2014-11-03 Yeah. It was always on when I was growing up. This and Prairie Home Companion. I realized this just a couple of weeks ago, in one of those rare moments when I had to drive my students to an event instead of take the bus: someone just called in who had never driven, but his fiancee was getting tired of driving him around and he was wondering if he should get his license so he can drive too. I was like "oh they're gonna hang up, this isn't a car question" but instead they went on this long diatribe about how awesome public transportation COULD be if it was more like being in a fortress of solitude like a car, and spent a good 15 minutes with a kid who didn't even have a question about a car problem at all.

infinite zest - 2014-11-03 There's Top Gear for some, and Car Talk for others. I always wanted to call in with my car problems. It was a 2004 Jetta I got for super cheap because of a hail storm (big midwest hail that destroys windshields) and because I'm a cheapskate I just waited for it to rain and covered it in dishwasher liquid. Because I'm an idiot. But I'll bet they would've at least seen the logic behind my thought process. :)

I loved Cartalk so much. It had almost nothing to actually do with cars, in a way. I know they stopped the show a while back, but this sucks.

Every weekend, everywhere we went, in the car with my parents growing up. Car Talk & Prairie Home Companion.

So, I've had family members die from Alzheimer's, and they were no where able to talk or hold a conversation when they came close to death. Can anyone explain how Ray was able to keep going if Alzheimer's is what really did him in?
