Boyd C. -- The Man

Is it me or is he kind of a jerk? Maybe my perception is driven by pure envy. Maybe he's a prima dona.

Discuss.

More than likely him being an *** is just for show to add drama to the show.

im surprised this hasn't been locked, but I would agree.. I would rather have foose work on my ride or build one for me. That guy seems to love what he does and ist a true artist. Foose's wheels seem to fit individual applications. If I had the grip, i'd probably have him make me a one off set.

Much like Ozzy acting like he's constantly stoned in his show. . . all for the drama and ratings.

If it's for the drama you gotta wonder why? It's not helping his reputation. IF anything it's working against him.

I think he is an *** 2...he always fks things up when he tries to help and his shop is full of idiots...they produce some nice looking rides, but it is at the cost of quality.

In my opinion i would never buy anything from him ( well maybe a set of rims) but i would never let them even give any of my cars an oil change!

Add drama to the show? no one does that on TV...especially on the other 1,000,000 building shows that tv has to offer.
