And for those of you that don't care for following

World-renowned tuner and hot rod king Boyd Coddington
died at 6:20 am this morning. The cause of death is
still unknown. Coddington, founder of Boyds Wheels and
designer of prize-winning custom cars, had recently
been hospitalized twice for an undisclosed medical
condition. Although he was though to be in recovery,
rumors of his untimely death began circulating today
throughout the forums. A spokesperson for Boyd
Coddington's corporation has confirmed to Jalopnik
that those rumors are true. The company will be
releasing a statement later today
