Re: [DMCForum] Re: BTTF car up for auction..

What i dont like about Coddington is that he will take a perfectly good 
antique rare car and chop it up beyond making it restorable back to 
original when he could of took a junker to do this hack job to. He also 
puts outrageous deadlines on his employees and makes them feel like 
shit if they have a life beyond work and have other plans besides 
working all weekend on his car. He also was an extreme DICK when 
Charlie said he was leaving to work with Foose because it was closer to 
home and his family, Charlie only did what was good for his Family and 
Coddington basically told him to "Fuck off and die".

Coddington is a DICK but i love the show.
