I do n’t like much for car . But even though I ’m ambivalent about automobiles , I ’m incredibly passionate about the receiving set show Car Talk . unhappily , one half of the Car public lecture brothers , Tom Magliozzi , die today at 77 , which sent me searching for thisdocumentarythey made in 2008 — the first fourth dimension I see “ Click and Clack ” in person .
rooter of the wireless show are used to the Magliozzis wisecracking about broken fanbelts in ancient place beach waggon , but on this good entertaining episode of NOVA , the duo heads out of the studio to badly survey the former and greatest on the auto market horizon . The game pop out as almost a Car Talk segment in itself : Tom ’s 1952 MG roadster is pop off , and he desire to put back it with something fuel - effective and forward - thinking . What should he purchase ? Since the docudrama is from 2008 , it ’s also a fascinating look back at what we were expecting to be a reality by 2014 … and how far we still are from some technological advances .
Car public lecture had n’t produced new episodes since 2012 but during its prison term on the air , the Magliozzis read a lifetime ’s worth of shows — seriously , they ’d been cause machine Talk since 1977 , my full life . These will continue to be ventilate on NPR affiliate , at least for the foreseeable future . Luckily for all of us , cable car fan or not , the Magliozzis buoyant banter will know on always in reruns — long outlive any automobile they ever discuss . [ NOVA ]
