Car Talk newspaper column

I posted a few years ago about the Click and Clack newspaper column. It used to be published in my local paper, The Virginion Pilot. Of course all printed media is under pressure to reduce costs and the “Pilot” changed from Click and Clack to another guy to save money. His name was Bob Weber (Motormouth) and I didn’t think his column was as good as C&C. Well, he just died so that column is gone.

The difference was C&C would usually pick one letter and give a detailed answer, with a little humor. Motormouth attempted to pack 5 or more letters in every column and as a result would give very short responses that were useless or downright wrong.

I am wondering who the Pilot might replace him with (if anyone).

The Dallas paper still carries the Car Talk column. Too bad it comes out after it shows up on the web site.

They are going to replace him with Scotty Kilmer.
:wink:
