Listening to “Car Talk” on Saturday mornings - the good old days.

[@flash21502]

A well deserved recognition! They had a wonderful show that I still listen to in podcast! Thank you Click & Clack.. Rest in peace Tommy.

[@MerkinMuffly]

God these guys were the best.

[@castercamber]

Saturday morning, garage stereo, Click and Clack, laughter....it was glorious.

[@joeb7975]

my childhood was listening to these guys every weekend while i went to work with my dad......legends. Tommy's laugh was the best.

[@ricaard]

"Don't drive like my brother..."❤

[@nx9100]

"Don't drive like MY brother!"

[@ricaard]

@@nx9100 these guys were the BEST

[@GS-uy4xo]

It feels like we lost so much without them, I had to pull over and sob when Tom died.

[@ricaard]

@@GS-uy4xo yes. I still listen to the recordings as they are uploaded, because I still learn from them, and *they're funny.*

[@pokeynewsome2804]

You WERE, ARE, and ALWAYS WILL BE a HUGE part of my life.

[@ThoroughbredWriter714]

It's 2019, and OMG, how I miss spending Saturdays listening to you and Tommy. I remember the very first time I heard you bros: I was in a car with a friend, on Route 2 headed toward Boston. You were telling the tale of the Massachusetts State Trooper who stopped a Donna. (He shocked her when he guessed that your name was, Donna.) ;) In that moment, I fell in love with you and Tommy, and with "Car Talk." I've been a devotee ever since. I miss new weekly shows with the two of you--but I do thank you for all the wonderful years, all the laughter and joy. God bless you, Ray Magliozzi, and God rest your wonderful brother, Tommy.

[@wonderbars36]

Man I wish they'd put them back on NPR. Reruns are absolutely welcomed. Plenty of us would love to hear them again. Saturday mornings just have not been the same.

[@Showe2625]

They have them as podcasts on Spotify. They upload one each week.

[@GS-uy4xo]

Absolutely broke my heart when Tom passed, the love they had for each other was the most beautiful thing and what always came through. I was blessed to listen and laugh out loud every week.

[@francescaamari]

I am so happy to see this. A perfect honor for two men who felt like my weekly family for so many years. I still miss their laughter and wonderful show so much.

[@kelvinsmith9432]

Thanks Ray for all the love you and Tommy put into cars and talking about them! I miss you guys. Be well, Kel

[@teamrocketjoe1621]

I know they would joke a lot about the quality of their work, but they really were quite humble in addition to being funny. That alone is worth respect. Thanks for the laughs, Tom and Ray!

[@LongLiveTheGamer]

Ray and Tom, thanks for all the good times~!

[@josephedwarddowling5919]

Greatest radio show of all time. The loss of Tom must have devastated Tom. I still remember TOM's snorting laugh and the sleek black beauty!!1

[@arufai]

I still listen to the shows and never get tired of it. So so miss Tom magliozzi

[@arufai]

Those were the best. Especially tom obnoxious laughter 🤣. I love it RIP

[@darthvirgin7157]

the Automotive Hall of Fame should be honored to haveTom and Ray as inductees.

[@shauno3429]

I stumbled onto the Car Talk podcast fairly recently and loved every minute of it, but I was surprised by how old the cars were people were 'calling in' with. Just worked out today that it actually finished in 2012 😟 And that Tom passed five years ago 😟

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

I teared up when I listened to the podcast that Ray mentioned his brother passing.

[@santiagoelias6172]

...WOW!!...i almost forgot i had seen this 2years ago...a gave it a like plus subbed....i still listen to reruns as i drive my company tow truck...these guys ray and tom never seem to wear out my intrest in what automobiles and people have in relation...there are times i laugh soooo damn hard...I'm actually crying....and then i cry a little more...because tom passed...and this classic show now longer exsists...I'm so glad thsese reruns are still around...thank you

[@DW94576]

I miss these guys so much! Rip Tom

[@charlesm.9858]

Aloha!! Mahalo for everything you did for us all!!! 😁🤙

[@ddzoning]

Listening to Car Talk while driving to work puts me in such a great mood. Much respect to Tom and Ray. Legends!

[@MrChucky619]

Congratulations! Well deserved. I miss Tom more than certain relatives of mine. I hope they never stop airing the reruns. Thank you for the laughs.

[@npalus8374]

I owe so much to Tom and Ray. Ever grateful. I will listen until the end of my days.

[@theresearcher7400]

Miss them. Some great laughs & touching moments from these two.

[@erikcox8749]

Looking great Ray. It is very well deserved. Tom and yourself are still bringing joy to many old listeners and new, and this isn't enough recognition that you guys deserve in my opinion. Thank you both for the show, I'll always enjoy still listening to the podcast and remember, don't drive like my brotha! Thanks Ray and Tom aka Click and Clack ☮️💜

[@mortyj8701]

I used to listen to Ray and Tom in highschool.... man I miss those days

[@newvillagefilms]

I miss listening to these guys, they're always funny and helpful with car issues.

[@michaelneumann1865]

Ray!! I. ME! I’m your number one listener ! I cried the day Tommy passed. Listened on NPR and taped all of your shows on cassette. I have drawers full of car talk cassettes. Then started saving the podcasts and listening over and over again. Still do!!! The good thing about getting old is I DONT remember all the callers. Ive got an Old 89 Grand Wagoneer jeep, on old 76 Bronco and a few others. I LEARNED IT ALL FROM YOU!!!!!! Education through the being unimcumbered by the thought process!!!! Im 60 now. Still enjoying! Thank you!!!!! Moe, Larry and Curly would be proud of you. Melissa from the northwest really must love you too!!! Michael Neumann

[@ModestNeophyte]

I miss saturday mornings with click and clack!! I grew up on it! especially when i started driving at 15. i'd go out on saturday mornings in my 87 mighty max pickup and go to the flea market or get a burger and enjoy the cool mornings with tom and ray on the radio.

[@hockley91]

I miss these guys on the radio. Everytime I'd fumble through the stations and I'd hear them I'd just listen and laugh. So glad I can listen to them on KZbin now.

[@RickR69]

It was certainly fun for us too Ray. It still is and Car Talk is an evergreen tree that you and Tom planted that many years ago that many generations get to enjoy. I hope you get to read this comment one day because you two doofuses made an impact on a lot of lives.

[@santiagoelias6172]

Car talk...with click and clack..best darnn show ever...still listen to reruns cause it's that damn good...Ray "the voice of reoson "..Tom the philosopher "..

[@johncat8347]

You guys were wonderful I missed your brother

[@TheHonestPeanut]

I miss them so much. Grew up listening to them all the time and still listen to old episodes. My family used to make mix tapes and exchange them for Christmas. Just good, wholesome, funny and informative nostalgia.

[@jkeelsnc]

They were an absolute Legend as far as I am concerned. CarTalk just might have been the best automotive talk radio show ever. :)

[@ianhinkle1909]

Your calls could’ve been about anything but cars. Cars were the thing that brought every listener together, and you two made it more funny and enjoyable than anyone else. Seriously. I’ve never seen anyone make my dad laugh as hard (maybe top gear), but you guys were it. I grew up close to Boston and your show felt local yet so popular. I wish Tom was here. I hope he’s well. Where ever he is. I hope he know he made us laugh

[@v8berenguer372]

Well deserved. 👏👏👏 Thanks for the show.

[@benslockandkeylocksmithing9839]

My dad introduced me to car talk when I was a kid. Years later he's not here anymore but I still listen and laugh every time. Thanks dad

[@mortyj8701]

Great memories

[@solamon77]

These guys were legends. Thanks for all the great laughs!

[@miguelsoliz772]

Clapping out load...clapping out load... much deserved sir.

[@MichaelTerry48]

Oh Raymie, you have no idea the indelible mark on the automotive history you and Tommy made. Love you guys

[@Altron1992]

Congratulations Ray! God rest your brothers soul he is very missed here.

[@Enigma71559]

My wife and I used to make frequent trips to Minneapolis from our home in Kansas City. We would usually leave early on Saturday mornings. We would ALWAYS listen to "Car Talk." The funny thing is, my wife knew NOTHING about cars and even though I knew a little, I HATED working on cars. We just listened because of Ray and Tom. It didn't matter what they were talking about.

[@FlyTrue]

thanks for the laughs. legends!

[@georgehyker]

Car Talk was the Highlight of my week. Tom and Ray along with the callers took my cares away and the effect held for hours. There will never be another program that can compare, never. I'm waiting for the 3rd half ...

[@bethanyanderson1745]

You, Tom, and Car Talk are missed more than you can know. Legendary!

[@TSquared2001]

Thank you for years and insight.

[@justinsmith9014]

Thank you for all the smiles and laughter you have given us. A truly wonderful person.

[@MrAgentEcho]

Every weekend* drive involved car talk when I was growing up. Sadly they were often re-runs. They’re a big part of growing up, their storytelling, and amazing wit.

[@MrAgentEcho]

Some of my favorite stories I could listen to over and over. The baby black widows “don’t ever hit your mother with a shovel, it leaves a bad impression on her head”, the woman who had a feeder rat climb into the AC of her car, the space shuttle, omg the Cuban cigar story “it might be a brain tumor”.

[@juniorvasquez9166]

Love your commercials for e-Bay Motors. I call you "Ray-Boy Yahtzee" :-)>> Well, that's what I hear when you announce your name. You know... late 50's, married with tinnitus. Fun stuff!! Keep up the good work. 👍

[@califcamper]

Miss Tom, really wish Ray would consider coming out of retirement to do some more shows perhaps with a mystery guest or guests? Im sure there are ALOT of famous people who would do it, Jay Leno for one...

[@TK-zf7sx]

I miss Tommy and Raymy. If there's an automotive heaven, you know they have a hell of a grease pit.

[@romantemniuk9881]

Weekends aint the same without you.

[@randygravel2057]

🫡 Good couple of dudes

[@justinsmith9014]

He likes to do it by feel. We have headlights lots of headlights

[@Dankcatvacs]

😢❣️❣️

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

it is so strange to see the face with the voice.

[@Chris-sy3mu]

Ebay motors commercials brought me here

[@mmarston332]

Ray was "Click". Tom was "Clack".

[@keemez]

other way around, champ

[@thomasheston257]

Ray looking old! But that accent!

[@danielmiller372]

Thomas Heston He's aged quite a bit faster since Tom died...I guess laughing that much used to keep him looking young

[@janetownley]

Any guy who can make me laugh that much is, to me, HOT 😄❤️

[@califcamper]

Strange? I thought MAN he looks great and young????

[@Knowledge_wisdomwins]

Ray is 71yrs old now. (He was 69 when this was video was recorded). He looks great!

[@Yugi880]

Why his voice sounds familiar Til now I knew his voice sound familiar Because my second little brother when he was little every day he was watching cars every day You know kids this day love to watch Disney til they gave up watching anime or strangers things or whatever But my brother is was fan of Disney and power rangers and digimon time that time because Disney bought anime like yugioh seven and digimon my little but not now his 18 year old always at around 8pm we had to skip Mexican soap operas to watch digimon or power ranger and sometimes they premiered cars that day and digimon frontier 1 hour finale we miss one episode of passion of earth or Tierra de passiones in Spanish it was important but we had to give my brother attention

[@careydillingham9809]

Never do the shows again with one person i t would never be the same

[@michaellacks5768]

Can’t stand either one

[@keemez]

your life is deprived of joy

[@shaunsuriano7576]

you must be a sad person, actively try to be happy and laugh, you’ll be less miserable.
