  1. it always sucks when a prominent auto enthusiast passes away. i wonder if it was health or horsepower related.

  2. Bummer. That being said, I had a lot more respect for him when I just read of him… after I saw his show, I kind of that he was a prick.

  3. I was never a fan of his style, but he will be missed for sure. Godspeed.

  4. Like him or not, the man has made an impact on the sport, as well as the art. My thoughts go out to his family, and his friends. God speed.

  5. What a LEGEND, i just started watching the show about 6 months ago. It was a shame to find out about roy passing away, WHAT A MASTER. The best thing about the show was blue bear getting fired i laughed for days.
    “BUT WHEN I HEARED ABOUT BOYD, I HAVEN’T STOPED CRYING”. “I WILL MISS HIM”.
