I agree with kosta, not many guys out there left that are automotive icons man. All the legends are slowly fading. Now it's all about how big you can get the rims on your car, or how many tv's you can stuff in it blah blah blah bling my ride bullshit. What ever happened to the real performance guru's who lead the way for all of us years down the road. Def a sad day indeed and rip carroll, you'll definitely be missed. A true legend...

Those guys are still out there, they're just not celebrities anymore. You can see their handiwork at the drag strip every weekend.

This is true. But they'll never me recognized for their ass kicking performance abilities... We're talking icons and legends. There are always the guys who are quietly and locally recognized.

True, racing legends like "Big Daddy" Don Garlits, Richard Petty, Carroll Shelby. Performance guru's like Don Yenko, John Lingenfelter, Dick Harrell
and Bill Thomas (Nickey Camaro), Joe "Dr Oldsmobile" Mondello, Boyd Coddington, just to name a few. True legends when it comes to performance and racing legends. You don't see or hear anything about these types of guys any more. It's all about the Chip Foose, Xhibit (Pimp My Ride), or Jesse James type guys.
Guess I'm just an old gearhead looking for the days of old...lol
