A voice from my past is stilled.

Tom Magliozzi, co-host of 'Car Talk' on NPR has passed away

The "Tappet Brothers" hosted a radio program on WBUR for many years. All about cars and their care.

You did not have to care about cars to enjoy listening to their banter. They were funny and covered a wide swath of culture. Talk. Talk. Talk.

Apparently a lot of people listened in and came to love these guys.

I think the thing about the show other than the personalities is that they helped us see that our unconscious love of our vehicles could be made plain and enjoyed and you didn't have to be a gear head.

In America, everyone has a car but very few know anything about them.

Tom and Ray fixed that. With great entertainment value.

Here is Tom's obituary in the NYTimes.

It keeps on running. Great fun.
