One of the few shows I actually liked on NPR, it's sad to see it go:

"I own a Geo..."

"There's your problem right there!"

Loved those guys. Haven't listened to them in a few years, but then I haven't had a car in a few years, and I always listened to them on the car radio.

Ditto. Their show was entertaining even if you didn't care diddly about cars and how they work.

I can still remember their inspired solution for pesky Check Engine lights: a piece of black electrical tape. Problem solved!

Hey, I always pay attention to the Check Engine light; I faithfully open the hood, and, so far, the engine is always still there...

Just noticed on the credits to the movie "cars", they played the rustezee brothers.

Kudos to them!
