Sad news...

They quit recording new shows a few years ago (current shows are remixes of older shows). I wonder now if they stopped recording due to Tom's health (apparently he died of complications of Alzheimer's disease which I didn't know he had). It was almost a ritual for me to go out in the garage on the weekends and work on my own cars while listening to "Car Talk"

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.
