    You have not experienced Car Talk until you have heard it in the original Klingon!

      Knew it before clicking it.

      Best part was how they remembered the dude’s goddamn car from when they used to work on it, 20 years prior.

        Oh yea, you are right. I completely forgot about the random short car songs they used to have. Some were funny and or good but I think I can definitely do without.

      Cars suck. Car talk decidedly does not suck.

      The only appropriate way to respond to this is a link to dragonsfuckingcars… but that I believe would still require a reddit link.

          If you pick one at random, I’d say it’s about 50/50 of finding a racist.

            Someone should compile a list of meme images that we don’t need to use anymore. Add that “change my mind” one to the pile.

      NPR releases three episodes a week in their podcast. They’re only in like 1993 right now so it’ll be a while before they catch up.

      Unfortunately, you’re only hearing one of them.

      Tom died in 2014 of Alzheimer’s, 2 years after they retired from the show.

            It’s okay. It’s an actual quote from Ray:

            In a statement announcing his brother’s death, brother Ray alluded to a familiar joke about the weekly puzzlers they always featured in the show.

            “Turns out he wasn’t kidding. He really couldn’t remember last week’s puzzler,” Ray said. “We can be happy that he lived the life he wanted to live; goofing off a lot, talking to you guys every week and primarily laughing his ass off.”

    I don’t know the context here, but my college roommate used to listen to Car Talk and I hated it. He hated when I watched Star Trek though, so we both just sucked it up and dealt with it like adults.
