I love watching the Barrett-Jackson Auctions. Love seeing all the cool cars on there and always try to guess what they'll go for. Anyone ever try the Haggery Fantasy Bidding online? I tried it a couple times....neato! It's on tonight and tomorrow night and Saturday night Live from Las Vegas.

Thanks for the reminder. It's always fun to watch people with truck loads of cash spending it on nice toys.

I personally don't like that show simply because a lot of the cars are not worth what they sell for. I HATE fully restored original muscle cars with a passion. I would rather buy a 1967 Mustang CJ for $14,000, put another $10,000-$20,000 into a blown 427 or something awesome that you can feel from a mile a way and hear for 3 or 4 miles, than spend $120,000 on the same car but with the original inline 6 or something stupid like that...you get what I'm saying? I know people have different tastes, some think cars shouldn't be driven for whatever reason (removed), but I think the opposite.I know Ken goes to that auction sometimes. I've seen him on tv before, maybe you've seen him on there before.

I see cars on that show that we use to crush all the time at the wrecking yard I worked at as a kid. No one wanted mustang parts except for the common parts that would fit the falcon. I used three 58 T-birds as circle burning jalopy cars... no one wanted them and they came with a great race engine (big block 390). Now I would love to have any of these cars.

Weren't there two Vibes on the auction block this week? I've been watching but haven't seen them.Just found the Vibe FX - sold on the 13th. Can't find the other one.
