RIP Pat Goss of Motorweek

Sad news. I always enjoyed his MW segments.

Smooth roads, Pat. RIP.

So sad...  I've watched Motorweek since the beginning.  He and John Davis are icons.

I just heard. I've been a fan since I was a kid.

Motorweek was always on Saturdays right before Dr Who on our PBS station.

I was always glued to the TV for both.

So sad. 

Younger than I thought -- he looked better now than he did back in the days when I watched MW (early 1980s).

That guy taught me so much about the technology of cars when I was a teenager. RIP, Pat, and thanks for the knowledge.

Back in the 90's me relying on seven TV channels in Chicago we had one car show to watch so  I would tape this show on my VCR.   

I've watched it recently and it wasn't as exciting as the old shows.   

Dang. That guy was good.

Damn. I also have fond memories of watching Motorweek back in my TV days.  RIP.

Bummer. 
 

I started watching Motorweek in the mid 80s when it was one of the only car shows on tv, and it was always good. Pat was a little dry, but he was a good teacher and I will miss him. 

Pat created a multi billion dollar a year industry and was never one to boost about it. He preached the gossip of preventative maintenance in a pre quick lube world. Vehicles seriously started lasting longer, due to owners being better informed and in turn caring for their vehicles better once he hit the airwaves. 

You can watch old MW reviews on YouTube. No Pat Goss, though.

They say that you can tell a lot about someone based upon how people remember them. The local Snap-On guy said it'll be the first funeral that he's ever attended without the intent of attempting to collect on an outstanding balance.
