    Sad day for Car Talk fans. Tom Magliozzi passed away yesterday from complications from alzheimers. He was the more goofy one on the show.

    They actually stopped recording shows a few years ago, but NPR still edits shows together and plays them on saturdays. I download their shows as a podcast.

    They were definitely a unique duo and made a great informative and comedic show.

    Love that show. I've listened to it every Saturday morning for probably 25 years. Even during hunting season (not sure how many deer I never got to shoot because I was listening to Click & Clack on my headphones rather than to the woods). I was really bummed when they announced that the brothers were discontinuing live episodes, but I still listen to reruns most Saturdays.
