I never watch those F&F movies because the hero car is always some ricer and they always destroy Mustangs. JMHO.

Better or worse that they destroyed Mustangs, Chargers, etc. in Gone in 60 Seconds, Bullitt, The Dukes or Hazard, etc.? Hopefully today the cars they wreck are reproductions built using new bodies and not classics, or they just do everything CGI, which is cheesy, but better than wrecking actual classics.
The hero cars are still usually something cool, and at times cars that were never imported into the US (R32, R33, and R34 Nissan Skylines have made appearances). Fast cars are fast cars. Cool cars are cool cars. Practical stunts and accurate car knowledge means a lot more to me that what the cars are. FF movies are hit or miss in those regards, but Hollywood don't make movies for guys like us unfortunately.

Very sad, Bob was a wealth of knowledge, he will be missed, my condolences to the family.
Thank you rpm and BroPaul for posting these tributes. Although I didn’t meet BB, we did share a few communications and, as others have stated, he was always ready to help and assist. He will be missed.

Hi, this is Renee, Bob and Jean's daughter.
While we're not having a funeral, we are planning a Celebration of Life, probably here in Montrose, probably in April.
We will let you know as soon as we have the details.
If you have photos, videos, etc. of dad that you'd like to share, please email:

Just as a prompt, if Bullet ever made you anything for your car, I'd strongly encourage you to memorialize it here and send to Renee.
All I had to do was mention that my TFI coil needed 12v and that I was going to bypass the pink wire and Bullet was on full go. He asked how I was planning to do that and as usual I had no idea. He had a (much better) idea and in his mind, the plan was already hatched.
Before I could turn around twice a box had arrived. It contained a relay, a fuse block, a 20A fuse and pigtailed wiring with factory looking crimps. And of course a Bullet original wiring diagram with comments, cautions and clear labels, wire gauge callouts, the whole shebang.
I was so jacked up I installed it that day and sent Bullet phone vidya of the car starting and running. We had a bunch of conversations around that project, relays, getting good ones, not Chineesium ones, the crimpers, the wire ends. I went down that rabbit hole and discovered that without knowing exactly which crimpers Bullet had and which ends he bought, going to the site where he bought them was pointless. A gajillion options, most of which a noob like myself had no way of discerning what was appropriate.
Just a super helpful, incredibly awesome person who couldn't wait to share his wisdom in a direct but humble way. I'm proud to say that my fastback is Bullet Bob Evans equipped.
