Our Saddest NPR Moment: The Retirement of the Magliozzi Brothers of Car Talk Fame

Update: With Tom's death, we thought it appropriate to rerun our tribute to the Magliozzi brothers. How can we forget that laugh? After all, reruns may be ahead for all of us, in one way or another. Right? Right.

Editor's Note: In the late '90s, we called Car Talk for Time Magazine's Notebook section to ask Tom and Ray which 'retired' car would they like to see revived. Their producer, Dougie Berman, asked and they replied. But Car Talk was a fixture of our lives, an eagerly-looked- forward-to bright spot on the Saturday morning routine. It still is — but in edited past versions.

But here's a look back at Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers, and we recommend the NPR Car Talk site — for answers to your automotive questions, that is, if a new administration doesn't apply the budget-cutting ax to CPB. Keep listening to NPR's most popular hour-length program and support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
