Tom Magliozzi of "Car Talk" Radio Show Dead at 77

Say it ain't so. 

Tom Magliozzi, the tall, lovable goof of National Public Radio's "Car Talk" radio show died 

today according to an announcement by NPR. Dispensing auto repair, car buying and occasional marriage advice on-air since 1977, Tom and his bother Ray made the show one of NPR's most successful ever to air. 

"Car Talk" ended live broadcasts in 2012 and the show continues to run on NPR in a best-of format. The jokes may be old, but the laughs still come easily.
