Click and Clack Retiring

It's a sad thought not having Car Talk anymore on Saturdays. But I'm sure we all knew the day would come...that the brothers finally call it quits and retire. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I wished the stayed on the air to their last dying breath...but thats a selfish thought and I'm glad they've decided to enjoy life in their own terms...which in this case is outside of the show. Thanks for the great shows guys! Enjoy retirement!

Flying Wild Alaska

The last frontier of Alaska. With such vast wilderness and spaces, flying by plane is the best or only way to go. That's where the bush pilots come in. Watching the Tweeto family run Era Alaska is equally entertaining as watching the McBryan family run Buffalo Airways (another show, Ice Pilots, that I've also grown fond of). These are hard-working people and the commitment they bring to the business is admirable. While Jim Tweeto and Buffalo Joe are opposites when it comes to general demeanor, they both are hands-on owners and true examples of blue collar leadership.

Revenge of the Electric Car

"Who killed the electric car?" was well made and I remember watching it and getting reallly affected when GM started retrieving the EV-1's from their owners. In "Revenge of the electric car", that comes back when GM delivers a Chevy Volt to Danny DeVito. When he cautiously asked if the car wouldn't get taken back like the EV-1, that sent a chill up my spine.
