I'm not only missing out on Barrett Jackson this weekend...but also Monster Jam (we always go with our nephew, I'm not too upset about Monster Jam though)

Are there any crazy auctions like the GM futureliner from last year?


That was craziness...that thing was massive! I was sweating for the guy that backed that thing near the stage for the auction.

This is the first one in the Salon collection

Lot 1325.1 - 1992 PETERBILT 379 "TRANSFORMERS OPTIMUS PRIME" STUNT TRUCK

Customized stunt truck starring as the leader of the Autobots in the "Transformers" movie franchise, Optimus Prime is the central character throughout the action in the movies. Iconic and instantly recognizable custom paint, accessories and lighting.

I dont think it will bring money like the futureliner but its still something out of the ordinary.

How many other vehicles have brought in 4 million though?


That was quite an experience being there though. My first auction and the atmosphere was very exciting during those high dollar auctions. Crazy how calm the people bidding are. Some of them looked almost bored there


I would love to be that rich to be bored over spending a few million on a car

That might be the biggest air splitter I've ever seen on a non-racing Mustang

If I won the big power lottery, this would be my weakness. I would probably waste way too much money on car/truck/motorcycle collection. They're fascinating.

Would've liked to have seen more of that Boss 302. That thing was sexy.

ETA: never mind, it's back
