NPR's 'Car Talk' to Stop Production | KQED News FixNEW YORK (AP) - The chatty mechanics on NPR's "Car Talk" are pulling in to the garage. Tom and Ray Magliozzi said Friday they will stop m...- The announcement led to 'Car Talk' trending on Twitter. Many reacted to the news with sadness.

- Car Talk has been a part of my entire semi-cogent life. I remember sitting with my grandmother eating brunch and listening to it.. the sandwiches made on the old-school hot iron sandwich maker you put on top of the stove; the wood table, the old radio and record player, moving her Bing Crosby records over to turn on the radio.. and the art on the wall: "'tis not the gales but the set of the sails that will determine which way you go." Thanks guys for being the inspiration of my bad and corny humor all of these years.
- Of course, it was inevitable that there would be some jokes on Twitter.
