Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks  Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4  |
I'm reading this on alot of places, but can't find a credible news source to confirm.
If true, a sad day ... |

On boydcoddington.com the forum is "down for maintenance".
Not really my scene, but it sucks to have a car-guy like him pass away. RIP |

Howdy,
If you mostly knew about him from the TV show like I did, this autoweek article was pretty nice: http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti...772614/1023/rss Mark |

I would take the way he was portrayed as a person and as a boss on TV with a grain of salt.
When "hollywood" gets involved, it makes even the best of people look like jerks. |
