What I don't understand it... these people hate Car Talk, yet they apparently listen to the show-- and then write in? Weird!

I hate hate-mail and the people who write it! They are a blot on joy. I don't mean to sound judgmental but maybe these folks need to take an endless cruise on the Highway of Silence. I'll bet that 90% of those letters were tongue-in-cheek. If not, then a fair portion of Car Talk's audience is afflicted with Galloping Terminal Inanity and need our understanding. The show hasn't killed anyone yet that we know of and you guys deserve a little respect. I'll sacrifice a goat for you.

Just read every hate mail and noticed that nearly all of the most offended writers were automobile mechanics or, to use their word, technicians. Humorless clods every one of them.

So I told someone about Car Talk and told them that I had been listening to it since I was born. "You idiot!" they said, "If you want to know more about cars, then why don't you just take a class or read a book... just don't listen to those bleeting-sheep morons."

I tried to read some of the Hate mail but had to stop. Don't these people know that you guy's are in the entertainment bussiness? Whether your are entertainers that give automotive advice or mechanics that tell jokes I don't care. I do learn a few things and I am entertained. I have heard you guys on the radio from all corners of the globe and I appreciate you and what you do. Thomas E. Reece, Command Sergeant Major US Army, Retired

Wow - so many folks just have no sense of humor & think too highly of themselves. (I thought it was just MY in-laws, but I stand corrected.) Tom & Ray, rock on!

Wow...just had a great time laughing my [buttocal region of the anatomy] till I [excreted waste from said buttocal region] myself. Me and my fiance in England were reading them together while on the phone (he's moving here in the fall) However, while he was here last, I introduced him to this FANTASTICAL show and he was overjoyed to find out your shows are available on iTunes. I love you guys and I will never stop listening.
