Car talk guys retiring

I hated to hear this. I've enjoyed these guys since at least 1990.

Retiring? From what?
Their radio show couldn't have taken a lot of prep time. It was a hoot to listen to.

I will miss them.

With the changes to cars these days, the answer "CV joint" or "vacuum hose" wasn't covering as many questions.

Yeah, too bad . I have been listening since 1988, even before I started actively wrenching my own stuff. Maybe they were the inspiration?...nah (as they would say)

I'm sure we could just simply sing Kum Ba Ya before every show and be just fine.

Seriously though, I don't get NPR out in the boonies very well, but when driving somewhere on the weekends I always tried to catch it. I'm lucky I didn't run off the road from laughing so hard.

I heard them in an interview one time say that they did the show for free for several years before they decided to ask to be paid.

That's sad, always got a kick out of listening to those two

But hey, 25 years is a damn good run for a radio show and at least they are going to have re-runs on

I don't listen to the radio or watch TV much on the weekends. My favorite weekend activities are flying, knocking around the place or working in the shop. I almost NEVER listen to the radio unless I'm driving.

Public relations consultant Heywood U. Buzzoff will now be looking for work. As will Russian chauffeur Pikopp Andropov.

I once emailed them and asked them to consider my friend Claire Voyant as the psychic phenomena consultant but didn't hear back.
