I'm an early bird, and this show (when in first runs and later, when broadcast as re-runs) kept me company many a day while I was traveling or working.

Oh, I so agree! I was really shocked and saddened to hear that. Although I knew Tom had retired, I'd imagined he was enjoying life as a retiree with the same wit and spirit he displayed on the air. Now, I imagine Tom-as-we-knew-him-from-
Car-Talk entertaining the heavenly hosts.
I'm not sure I'll listen to recorded
Car Talk episodes in the near future. I may need to give it some time [for the same reason that I stopped watching
The Sopranos reruns (which I never tired of) after James Gandolfini died].
