On the track, I am fearless.

Some quotes and tributes to Tom...
Tom Magliozzi who, along with his brother Ray, hosted NPR's hit comedy show Car Talk for the last 37 years, died Monday morning from complications of Alzheimer's Disease. "Turns out he wasn't kidding," said Ray. "He really couldn't remember last week's puzzler.""I like to drive with the windows open. I mean, before you know it, you're going to spend plenty of time sealed up in a box anyway, right?”
Quotes from Tom Magliozzi:
“It's only a car.”
"Do it while you're young. You may never have another chance to do anything this stupid again!"
"Happiness equals reality minus expectations"
“How do you know if you've got a good mechanic? By the size of his boat.”
"If money can fix it, it's not a problem."
“Our Humility is what makes us great.”
“Reality often astonishes theory.”
"Life is too short to own a German car.”
“Kids: get away from the cell phones, get away from the computers, and mail someone a fish before it’s too late.”
“Non Impediti Ratione Cogitationis” - “Unencumbered by the thought process.” Tom’s self-proclaimed motto.
“Never let the facts stand in the way of a good answer”
"Some guy I met said it's amazing how we use cars on our show as an excuse to discuss everything in the world—energy, psychology, behavior, love, money, economics and finance. The cars themselves are boring as hell."
“It is better to travel in hope than arrive in despair.”
"If it falls off, it doesn't matter.”
Well said! I know I will miss him. My Sat morning will never the same again w/o he and his brother's show on NPR! Tom, thanks!

Man... I remember listening to them just about every Saturday morning when my friends' dad would drive us down to Don Carter's for kids' league bowling. The dad was originally from Boston and drove a nasty, funky, beat-to-absolute-shit '81 T-Bird with no A/C and a busted heater. That thing was a carbon monoxide trap that dieseled for about 5 minutes every time he shut it off. Aaaahhh, those were the days...
