I enjoyed his show, thought the show conflicts were a bit contrived but fun to watch. I actually visited his shop in Southern California in 2004, met him and saw a lot of his cars. Boyd was a force in the automotive world and he will be missed.

When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

There's nothing fun about Ann Coulter - miserable is more accurate.

He always seemed like such a fucking prick on his show. Accepting timellines on cars that were completely unrealistic. I liked Foose's shows much better.

He definitely added more funk on cars then anyone I can remember...Great ideas and designs..Some of the sickest rides ever.
