This is pretty big news on most of the car forums I visit.
Pretty sad.

Great attitude you have there.
For you information, Lingenfelter was one of the best car tuners in the world... just look at those issues of C/D that I noted above... his work was amazing. You should watch what you say What you did was the equivalent of barging in on a mourning service and yelling, "Who cares that he's dead?!".

From injuries he received in a drag racing accident in Pomona, California, back in Oct. of 2002.
Do yourself a favor, and grow up. Would you want someone saying something like that if you posted about one of your parents, or someone important to you, dying? I didn't think so.

Well, maybe he accomplished a lot and led a decent life, thus he deserves, you know, respect? Sheesh. And I don't care if you don't know or care who he was... I care about the fact that you posted in this thread, specifically stating it. There are times when you should and shouldn't speak, and that was a time you shouldn't have.
Anyway, bickering aside... are there plans for whoever's going to take over the operation? Someone's gotta keep making those lovely toys.

His kids, if he has any, will most likely take care of that. It's a true shame...

He's not a god to everyone just because he died. He was, in a sense, a god to the automotive industry, though. He created some of the fastest, and most incredible, cars I've ever seen. And not knowing him doesn't make you bad - saying stuff like, "Should i know this guy or care? nahhh," does, however.

There is no need for that. And you haven't grown up. Just because you're 18 years old does not mean you're an adult. And just because you have a negative comment, or just dont give a crap, then perhaps you should consider posting somewhere else. If I went around posting 'who cares' in every single drifter thread, then I would have a lot more posts than I have now. If you can't keep things like this to yourself, chances are, you will get yourself banned.

Hah, that's really funny, because it sure looks like my post has just a little more than one line. And if you don't want to be a productive member of this online community, then why don't you just save us the trouble, and leave.

For cripe's sake... I'm sorry that a thread commemorating someone's great life had to be closed, but the behavior in this thread is appalling.
Once again, best of wishes to Mr. Lingenfelter's family, and let's hope that his company keeps producing their astounding world-class cars. 👍
