Shouldn't we salute the Tappet brothers?

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed some good laughs with those fellas.

Salute!

I was said to hear that he had died too.

It was Tom’s laugh that first caught my attention. They started “Car Talk” about the same time that I retired and moved to the country, giving my more time to listen to the radio.

I still have, somewhere, an old audio cassette of them giving advice to the lovelorn, while pretending to be talking about automobiles. Remember how often they asked to speak to the spouse, about whom the caller was complaining?

In one classic instance, they advised a guy to buy a puppy and keep in in the front seat of his convertible, as a chick-magnet. “Don’t own a convertible? Buy one of those as well as a puppy.”

Edit: “sad”
