Man, it occurred to me that their show goes all the way back to when I, too, was an actual auto mechanic many years ago. Saturday mornings in the shop, listening to the show while a half dozen professional mechanics tried to diagnose the problem. Once in a while we concluded that those two got it wrong, but right or wrong wasn't the point. They were funny, entertaining, and informative, all in a format that was accessible to those for whom a car is mostly a black box.

RIP, Tom. I wish I were ever as much the complete package when comes to mechanical things as you were.
