That overly educated auto mechanic, also known as Click of the Tappet Brothers of NPR's Car Talk, dead from complications due to Alzheimer's at the age of 77. Just remember, Don't Drive Like My Brother.

I have listened to them since the late '80s. I once turned down a job when they asked if I could work Saturday mornings. I can't; I have to listen to Car Talk.

While I lived in the Boston area Click and Clack were a daily "must hear".
