Name the new Car Talk TV show!

Don’t Drive Like My Brother

High Octane

I’ve been thinking for your new show name. I keep hearing the tune for “This Old Man” when I think of your show opening credits. The name of the garage that you guys work out of should be “Paddy’s Rack” or “Paddy’s Wreck” but I do like the first one better. Or how about “Click 'n Clack’s Paddy Rack” even. Then you could throw the yard dog a bone.

Like the logo could have the two of you guys sitting in an old paddy wagon up on the rack in the garage.

And like always, don’t do like my brother…

“The Misadventures of Click and Clack”

“Kardio” OR “Car-dio”
As in cardiology, but for cars. Include a graphic of Tom and Ray using a stethescope on a car!

Two For The Road
SIG Alert
Make Me Proud Boys
Ya Gotta Luv Em

“Life in the Breakdown Lane”

Snort Radio: a Tappet Odyssey
The Tappet Dialogues (or Monologue)(or Diaries)

“Radio Regrets”

Obviously, it should be “Don’t drive like my brother.” :wink:

My nomination for naming the new Car Talk TV show is “Car Talk Alley”. This was inspired by the old “Gasoline Alley” comic strip that has run for nearly a century. The new show establishes similar neighborhood/relationships to that of the Gasoline Alley series.

The following quote from a Wikipedia article sums up the essence of those similarities:

Gasoline Alley (sic)is a long-running classic comic strip, created by Frank King, that was first published on November 24, 1918.

Widely recognized as a pioneering comic strip, Gasoline Alley was especially notable for being perhaps the first comic to depict its characters aging as the years progressed.

Early years

The strip’s origins lie in the Chicago Tribune, which ran a Sunday page, The Rectangle, where staff artists contributed one-shot panels, continuing plots or themes. One corner of The Rectangle was home to Frank King’s Gasoline Alley, where characters Walt, Doc, Avery and Bill held weekly conversations about automobiles. This black-and-white panel slowly gained recognition and eventually the daily Tribune picked up the feature, either on August 25, 1918 or January 1919, according to varied accounts.

It became a daily strip, and the Sunday version moved from The Rectangle to a full-color page of its own. The 1930s Sunday pages did not employ traditional gags but instead presented a gentle view of nature or imaginary daydreaming with expressive art.

The early years were dominated by the character Walt Wallet. The Tribune’s editor, Captain Joseph Patterson, wanted to attract women to the strip so it was decided to introduce a baby into it. The only problem was that Walt was a confirmed bachelor. This was overcome when, on the 14th February 1921, he found an abandoned baby on his doorstep.

The baby was called Skeezix (slang for motherless calf) who called his adopted father Uncle Walt. Unlike most strips (like the Katzenjammer Kids) he did not remain a baby or even a little boy for long. In fact, as the years went by, he grew up to manhood, the first occasion where real time continually elapsed in a major comic strip over generations. By the time the US entered World War II, Skeezix was a fully-grown adult, courting girls and serving in the armed forces. He later married and had children. In the late 1960s he faced a typical mid-life crisis.

Walt Wallet himself eventually married Phyllis Blossom and had other children, who grew up and had kids of their own.

During the 70’s and 80’s, under Moore’s authorship, the characters did briefly stop aging - when Scancarelli took over, the natural aging was restored
