A WBUR video created in honor of "Car Talk's" 35th anniversary, in 2012.
Posted for fans, in memory of Tom

They were libs on a lib station, but I liked them. RIP...
Had NPR on the preset list for 1 hour a week. I love these guys, and I will miss the show. RIP Tommy!
I always liked their program credits, which included the law firm of Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.
They actually operated out of a second story office in Cambridge that had that logo painted on the window.
They really didn’t strike me as liberal as much as libertarian. They constantly pierced liberal pieties with relish, and mustard.
Reportedly Tommy’s last words were, “Don’t drive like...”
They were definitely Howie Carr listeners. They stole lines and attitudes from him constantly.
I heard them say things that seemed liberal to me, but...I listened to them in the day before I simply stopped listening to nearly everything from PBS in general, and WBUR in particular.
That said, I liked the guys. I really did. And you are right, they did have a wide range of things they would skewer...:)
