I'll be the black sheep here, but some of their advice given was total rubbish. I don't think either one of these guys seen under a hood since LBJ was in office.
So what? They can't keep up with every make and model...probably had experts sitting with them for the tough questions. I'll keep listening to reruns!
I was so sorry to hear this sad news, especially that he suffered from Alzheimer's during their retirement. My sympathy to Ray and the rest of the family. It seems like yesterday I was listening to the brothers banter with their Mom on Mother's Day weekends.
Tom and his brother always made me laugh when I listened to Car Talk. Both seemed genuine, intelligent, and like really nice people that wanted to spread happiness and help others. Good people. Tom will be missed.

Just read that. What shame. My favorite part of the show was the closing credits, where they thanked people like their Statistician, Marge Inovera and their Russian driver, Pickov Andropov.
Don't forget their legal team Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe
To all that posted your tributes here, I hope the family will one day come across this thread and notice how well liked Tom was. Thanks.
