	Last Friday afternoon my wife Denise and accepted an invitation =
from Car Talk to attend the unveiling of a plaque in "Hahvahd Squayah" =
honoring Tom Magliozzi. As most of you know, Tom was one half of Click =
and Clack on the long running NPR show Car Talk.  There was a crowd of =
about 100 people and Ray Magliozzi greeted everyone individually.  =
I=E2=80=99ve listened to Car Talk for the entire run of the show and now =
listen to weekly podcasts.  When I had my old 240Z I used to repair it =
at their do-it-yourself garage, Hackers Haven when I was on the outs =
with my father and couldn=E2=80=99t use his garage. .  Ray said Tommy =
talked him into opening Hackers Haven telling him that they would be =
taking money out by the wheelbarrow load.  As it turned out Ray said, =
they couldn=E2=80=99t even afford the wheelbarrow. =20
	In the two or three times I=E2=80=99ve met Tom and Ray over the =
years they have been exactly the same in person as they are on the show, =
funny warm and off beat.  The evening was just as you might imagine a =
Car Talk event to be.  Brattle Street was closed off, there was a short =
funny ceremony, a great rock and roll band, and free dinner for =
everyone.  Two guys drove up from North Carolina, and two couples, one =
each from California and  Oregon attended.
	I=E2=80=99ve always loved listening to Car Talk and Tom was =
actually the one who told me that a TR6 would be a great car to buy.  =
Wether it was a woman looking for advice about her significant other, a =
world class physicist trying to explain a care related phenomenon, an =
astronaut explaining the tools they used on the Hubble Telescope, or a =
simple car question they always made me laugh out loud.  I thought I=E2=80=
=99d share my experience.
	Best,
	Bob Rochlin=20

ps. The latin at the bottom of the plaque is their motto.  It translates =
to =E2=80=9Cunimpeded by the thought process=E2=80=9D
