Rarely would I get the opportunity to listen to their shows on the radio. I usually work weekends and that's when their show would air
But on the occasions that I did get to hear their show it would make my day. Man they could make me laugh!

Thanks for the laughs Tom. RIP

Their show is/was good. Didn't realize he was that old.

I spent many lazy afternoons working on my cars or bikes listening to those guys. 

Some gal would call in with a '58 volvo that the heater would come on when doing hard left turns, or some other bizarre symptoms.  Funniest guys on radio.

Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers.  They will be missed.

Well that's a shame. If I'm home on Saturdays I try to be in my car listening to them as I run around town grocery shopping etc.

The man died from Alzheimer's. Sad, terrible disease. It took my father at 75.
