bullet Car talk: I am an avid fan of Car Talk. Click and Clack The Tappet Brothers have had a profound influence on me for years (long time before I got my first car, and even a drivers license). As a perfect final touch on my experience as a graduate student at MIT, they (both MIT alumni!) delivered the commencement speech at my graduation. You can watch the webcast of their (long but lively and funny) speech, or read it. I also managed to become a winner of the Car Talk puzzle - and I have a mug to prove it.
