Tom Magliozzi RIP

I was an avid listener. Two of my favorites were when Bill Lee called in about his pickup catching fire, and when they advised a woman who wanted to meet good guys to advertise that she had a 1950s-era Range Rover for sale.

I've listened to maybe five episodes of Click and Clack, but they were all good. I remember one about what to do when a huge dog vomits in your air conditioner vents vividly.

I have been listening for years. Love the show.  Didn't know he was sick and didn't realize they've been doing archived shows for two years.

The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

RIP.  It's amazing how they could turn car talk into quality entertainment.

That guy gave Mrs. Happy and I many laughs on saturday mornings. That's just  too bad. RIP. One thing that I never heard those guys talk about that was which one was Click and which one was Clack. Can anyone shed any light on that?

I always assumed Tom was Click and Ray Clack, but that was only because that's how their names were always ordered.

Me too, but I think "Click and Clack" refers to one entity.
