'Car Talk' host Tom Magliozzi made us laugh about life, with cars
Car Talk, as any regular listener could attest, wasn鈥檛 so much about fixing聽聽as much it was about dissecting the interpersonal issues and hangups that often accompanied breakdowns, repairs, or vehicle choices.聽
Cars were鈥攁nd are鈥攁 lens toward understanding a lot of our relationships in life. And we haven鈥檛 heard anyone else break it down, in such a smart, incessantly funny way, than Tom and Ray Magliazzi did on聽听罢补濒办.
Tom Magliozzi, who died Monday, was MIT educated, a former college professor, and co-owner of a do-it-yourself repair shop, among other things. And yes, his laughter was infectious鈥攅nough to pull in those who didn鈥檛 give a hoot about cars otherwise.
Ray, with the Magliozzi family, has extended an invitation for listeners to make a donation to the Alzeimer鈥檚 Association or their favorite NPR station in Tom鈥檚 memory.
