riggerrob 562 #3 November 4, 2014 Dang! Another great man dies too young. Listening to "Click and Clack" was as entertaining and informative as reading "The Compleat Idiot's Guide to Keeping Your VW Alive." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 643 #5 November 4, 2014 I always respected him after hearing the story of him having a very near miss in a very small car with a semi truck. He went in and quit his job that day and decided to enjoy his life after coming so close to death. He changed his life from that moment forward to one of love and happiness.

JohnMitchell 14 #8 November 5, 2014 Those guys were great. I took a picture of their office window just the other week when I was in Harvard square. Years ago I was a gear head and worked on cars a lot. I always enjoyed their analytical and philosophical musings. . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
