NPR's Car Talk to end in September

I remember the first time I heard Car Talk. They made some stupid joke and were laughing uproariously at it. I thought, "Who let these idiots on NPR?" Then they said, "And even though you're thinking, 'Who let these idiots on NPR?', this is National Public Radio." Instant fan.

Vehicles are a ubiquitous part of American culture and Car Talk shed light on an otherwise opaque world of mechanical wizardry. Click and Clack will be greatly missed.

I think if we all at HN were born in the '30s or '40s, we would be tinkering with cars instead of computers. Likewise, if the Magliozzi brothers were born in our generation, they would be here with us on HN.

I imagine a lot of young children bonded with their fathers over this show. My father and I have been listening for 20+ years. Car Talk will be greatly missed.

Every time my 5 year old daughter and I get in the car she'll ask me, "Is Car Talk on?" We'll sure miss listening to this show together.

Their own statement on the Car Talk site: <a href="http://www.cartalk.com/content/time-get-even-lazier" rel="nofollow">http://www.cartalk.com/content/time-get-even-lazier</a><p>I'll miss these guys, I listen to NPR saturday mornings on the internet wherever I am in the world.

I couldn't care less about cars. But I love this show, their banter, and their ability to deduce the problem.

They apparently plan to "repackage" the show... Cut calls together from various shows and represent it as new material. Grosses me out, but that's the plan.

Would love to get a published collection of their brain teasers. Those were always a good way to pass time during car rides.

That show is one of my absolute favorites. Nothing else like it on NPR.

Nooooooooo! I'm gonna miss Clik and Clak. My wife is not a talk radio listener, but she'll listen to Car Talk, and laugh. Sad to see them hang it up.
