RIP Boyd..
Guys not to get off on a SOAP BOX of anykind....but bottom line 'We ain't here as long as we think were gonna be"... Live and Love life cause it could be gone in a flash... losing someone high profile like Boyd ( at not such an old age) is stiff dose of reality for many of us. Brian |
you so rite brian,,,,,,,,

Agreed, that your time on here is very limited. With that being said... Boyd was an arrogant ass to his guys. He had talent I wish I had or I could only have dreamed of. His visions were surreal. But his business and employee treatment was something left to be desired. I realize he was doing alot of his antics for tv,but I will say this..if anyone ever disrespected me on national tv like he has (or his Jackass Duane does) he'd be looking to modify his teeth!!! Sorry for the loss of a true car guy,ingenious detail man,but not for the loss of a common arrogant person..Too bad he let the limelight overwhelm him in his career.
