And we wanted you to be the very first to know about it. In the last few hours, we've launched
a whole new design for our web site.
We think of you, our fellow Car Talk sufferers, as part of our extended family. Together, over
the years, we've endured no shortage of dubious answers, Ray's booogus puzzlers, Tommy's philosophical meanderings and more than a few whacko callers.
("Doesn't anybody screen these calls?")
And cartalk.com? That's our home, where we can all meet, hang out, share our thoughts, hear
the latest from our two lousy hosts, and generally kill plenty of time, strenuously avoiding work.
After ten years of wear and tear, we decided it was time to rip it down to the studs and
rebuild it. And that's just what we've done.
The new Car Talk web
design features a variety of updates, including...
- Easier access to the weekly show, from a pull-down right on our homepage.
- More intuitive navigation.
- Cool, new menus from our pals at cars.com.
- Less text, and more of the fun, Car Talk graphics we all enjoy.
And, of course, we couldn't announce a new model, without a fresh, new look, right? So, our
light-starved designers got to work.
We think the results are impressive. We hope you like it, too. (Let us know what you think, won't you?)
A word of thanks. We could not have done it without you. We asked our Time Kill Weekly
subscribers to take an early look for us. And, over the past few weeks, we've received many hundreds of comments, suggestions and
fixes.
We hope you'll continue to drop by, and waste some time, with Tom, Ray and the rest of us here
at Car Talk Plaza.
And, with that, I am pleased to announce the doors are wide open, to our newly redesigned home
on the Internet. Come on in, put your feet up on the table, leave the toilet seat down if you want (we don't care), and join us for more months and
years of somewhat useful, time-killing fun here.
See you there,
