Of course the obituary doesn't mention Y2K, but we all know what "really" caused this cultural hero's untimely death. For this brave man's family, Y2K really is the TEOTWATheyKI. A sad day indeed.

Red Neck! I find your use of a person's demise as some sort of a trollish joke. To be utterable macarbe for a human being to do! But apparently nothing, not even the passing of a loving father, a beloved husband. And a person who by his efforts gave the 60's generation a motor which gave so many so much fun to so many. Nothing apparently is beneath a person such as you are. I feel sad for you.

Shakey - I supposed you're the type to pick a fight with a priest in the middle of his homily!

Phil... I had assumed that you were attempting some sort of failed dark humour here, but are you really claiming that this is a Y2K induced death? Seriously? Care to explain your reasoning? Or are you just yanking our chains?

Followers of the Pentastar are very down-hearted. Real motorheads, Chrysler fanatics or not are saddened by the loss of a true engineering genius.

"And on the eighth day, God created the HEMI" was a saying amongst racers and fans in the late 60's and early 70's. Having seen some awesome displays of power by Hemi-powered vehicles, I do wonder if someone wasn't devinely inspired when he put pen to blueprint paper.
