I don't really like talking about cars, but Car Talk—the call-in advice show that's been on NPR since 1987, though it's been two years since they recorded—is a welcome part of the weekend routine, thanks to the charm of brothers and hosts Tom and Ray Magliozzi, from their obsessive interest in callers' names and towns, to their giddy arbitration of bets between spouses and siblings across the country. Tom—he of the Best Laugh—who was 77, passed away today due to complications from Alzheimer's. NPR has a lovely eulogy up, including the classic clip of the Toll Fugitive.
