Big Daddy Ed Roth passed away, :(
If you knew this guy, you would know why I frown.
He was one in a million.
He created "Rat Fink".
He was one of the most unique, kooky characters I ever had the pleasure to meet and chat with.
If you know what/who I may mean, by this, I got to thank the guy, a couple of times, for the pleasure he gave my childhood.
I really hope many of you may know who this guy is.
He is one of the original "Fathers" of Hot Rodding and Custom Car design. He gave his all. In his creations and the "Art" he left behind.
If not

Are you serious?? Wow, that really sucks... he really contributed to the early (and therefore, current) hot rodding image! When did this happen?

I only heard that he passed last night.
Not much more than that final detail. Maybe on the evening news, but, possibly not.
This suck a$$ power BS in CA is really gonna suck the energy outta this state. And robreal news stories.
Some people, are real fortunate to have made there mark, in time and space and allowed to move to a better place.
For those that do not know who this great kooky guy is, go visit the website.
If you read any car magazine, you'll find out about him, in about a month or two.
He truly was, one in a million.
Hey Tom, I see you really have learned something in school.
That makes me happy
Thanks.
