He's reunited with his '63 Dodge Dart.

They aired their last show not all that long ago. Perhaps last year? I wonder how much of that was due to health issues.

Thanks for posting. I was a big fan of their show. I don't know the first thing about cars but I appreciated their knowledge, wit and banter.

Who would have ever thought both of those guys were graduates of MIT? Sad to see such an incredible mind taken by such a horrible disease.

Bummer, both of them were really smart guys.

I had no idea they were both MIT grads.

It is cool they had such a good show together as brothers.

When you are listening to the show you can tell they are having a good time.

Sad to hear that. Listened to those guys for as long as I can remember. Hopefully he's at peace. Alzheimer is sucky thing.

Best episode I can remember on there was the woman who called in and said that her car was big-time infested with roaches, but they only came out at night. Their advice was, "Ma'am, I'd sell that cah in the daytime then." They had a great sense of timing and a good delivery. Classic comedy without having to be crude or profane.

Sad. One of those guys was obsessed with PoS MGs. Not sure if it was Tom or Ray.

He will me missed.

My favorite was the caller whose car was infested with black widows. His advise was to get the car towed to a cold part of the Nation and leave it for a week.

Great show. I loved their banter with each other and the callers. Will never forget the laughs.

Condolences for his family.
