Orlando Z owners
Hey guys not sure if you know but Rob Hollar (Zpresence) has passed way up there.
I knew Rob from the early days of the 350Z when we both had some of the first 350Z's in 2002 and I met him at a couple of Zfests in Orlando and he did most of the painting on the accents on my 350Z (Rear Strut bar cover, stock gauge covers, all engine covers and front Z emblem) he was an awesome painter and person.
Looks like he was the victim of street racing, but not as some may think he was actually innocently driving in the opposite direction of the racers one of whom lost control and crossed the median and killed his passenger plus Rob.
Amazing, don't have many words to say I am speechless.
Be careful out there guys

This is very, very sad news. I remember him well when I first joined OZOC and he was very friendly and just a good guy. My deepest condolences to his family and may he rest in peace. Life is so fragile.
its crazy that no matter how safe you really are the accident can come at you reguardless. Be safe people 350z or whatever ..nothing really prepares you for something like that. Take it easy fellas and peeps.
My condolences to the family, Rob was a member of OZOC at one point long ago. I saw the obituaries this morning and thought that was him but then saw a little girl also who passed and I closed it cause I hate to hear of children passing away.......crazy
This is truly sad news, second friend down this year due to drag racing period.
Now you have a father & mother who lost a son, a brother or sister who lost there brother, and a little girl who lost her daddy due to someone else’s stupidity and negligence.

This is the worst news, Rob was so happy to be a father and really happy when he got the NSX. I went for a ride when he first got it. I'm gonna really miss him, we used to hang all the time.
Rest in Peace brother, you will be missed
Rest in Peace brother, you will be missed
WoW, that sucks, Heather and I were good friends with Rob and his girl at the time when Heather and I first met and I had my shop. Rob got me started in the Z's and was the reason why I joined my350z. He battled some demons at one time and last time I saw him at HIN he was doing good and looked happy. I think the part that Sucks is he wasn't even racing, he was just driving. Thats the problem no a days, All of these teens that have been driving for a year or two and think that they are experienced drivers and know how to handle a car. Condolences to his family..... Wish I had saw this earlier, I would have liked to have attended the services.
