I didn’t start listening to Car Talk until I was in college and had a $500 car that I could barely afford to keep running, so I had to learn how to do it myself. Years later, I was a consultant and landed in Boston on the day that Tom passed. I remember listening to NPR and seeing the info boards over the Mass Pike… Read more

I never really “got” Car Talk as a kid, much to the surprise of the adults in my life. I was a little car nut from Massachusetts, after all. And my dad loved it. But this story closes a lot of loops for me.

I’ve used them exclusively for the past four years, and never had an issue. It’s nice when they come to your house for new tires, or to your work to patch a flat.… Read more

Glad you’re recovering and still able to enjoy doing the things you love! I was actually shot and paralyzed from the chest down about 7 years ago (damn time flies) and my friends actually brought my Xbox into the rehabilitation facility I was at. My left side peripheral nerves were damaged—leaving my left hand nearly… Read more
