Out of all the celebrity deaths lately, the passing of Tom Magliozzi is one of the saddest. I've spent hours upon hours, as have many others, enjoying the banter and tlight hearted conversations of Clik and Clak the Tappet Brothers. RIP.

^ Indeed, RIP. They were a staple in my house while growing up, despite nobody having an interest in cars. Smart, funny, and infectious. Today I went on a Tappet Brothers marathon.

I was so bummed when I heard about this. I was not aware that he had Alzheimers either. I too grew up listening to them. It was my families Sunday routine to make french toast and listen to Car Talk. We would even make wagers with each other on who could answer each weeks puzzler.

Me either, but I guess that's why the new episodes had come to a stop.

I didn't have as much of a ritual around the show, but could always count on it to lighten up just about any mood.

My dad and I would listen to them working in the garage. We'd try and figure out the weekly puzzler too. Usually we'd have an anwser, and they wouldn't... :lol:
