I think that one must remember that the phenomenon of Tom and Ray
stopped having much to do with cars a LONG time ago.  I cringe when i
hear some of the advice they give people on the technical side of car
mechanics.

What I do like about them is that the try to encourage people to
operate cars responsibly (important to me since i spend much more time
on foot and bike than I ever do driving) and environmentally.  Well,
and, since i work in public radio... they help us raise a lot of money
since it's the most listened to non-news show on public radio.
