Good-Bye, Tom

By -

Many Slopers, including myself, were saddened to hear of the death of Tom Magliozzi, one half of NPR’s Car Talk team. As I mentioned in the comments section, I have no interest in cars or car repair, past touting the virtues of my Tesla S. Back in the days when I drove barbaric gas-powered cars, I only knew how to put fuel in the tank; that was the extent of my knowledge.

What a lot of people don’t’ recognize, though, is that the two brothers who hosted Car Talk were probably one of the greatest comedic improvisational teams ever. Simply stated, they always made me laugh, and every Sunday, I felt like I was listening to two kooky relatives at Thanksgiving dinner. Rest in peace, Tom……….
