re: Barrett-Jackson car auction in Scottsdale this week

No problem. Just upgraded and have the latest iPhone so will be testing out some of the new features on the camera on it at this event.

Also..have plenty of space for pics this time. Last time I went...I kept running out of memory on my phone and had to keep deleting old pics so I could take more.

Sweet truck.

I'm pissed. I went last year and wanted to go again this year but work got in the way. It's an amazing experience. One day I'll buy something there.

As of right now the Scottsdale forecast is calling for a high of 56 with a 70% chance of rain Saturday. Have had pretty crappy weather for the past month or so with rain almost every weekend.

Yeah not looking forward to the rain. We have a small transport wheelchair for my dad(it is really light and will easily fold up to take on the shuttle bus from the parking lot). He can walk and all...but he gets easily out of breath when having to walk long distances. So I'll be pushing him when he gets tired. Which will not be fun if it's raining


So yeah...I won't be one of the chicks there wearing heels. Always cracks me up when I see those women(not working the show and clearly not a hooker) wearing heels and looking like their feet hurt with every step.

always cracks me up as well. Definitely there to be seen and not to see.

I love auction season.

My soapbox on american classic cars: the current prices are driven by baby boomer money. Cars that don't have real significance other than being rare due to an option combonation are being sold for multiples vs their normal counterparts. People are buying memories with their disposable income and they want to have a best version they can afford. These cars dont have a worldwide appeal which limits the market. These 60s cars will come down in a few years replaced by the 80s/90s cars (70s cars sucked for the most part). With that being said, the cool vette around the small town wasn't an L88, the fast camaro wasn't a Yanko. The truly special, apex cars are the long term investments. Everything else is speculation.

i am extremely interested to see what lot 1349 goes for. i would love to own it...

Will do!

I second that.

She does have some tight pants on. My fantasy bids are not even close today.
