    This thing is and has been nuts,.. ever heard of the greater fool theory..
    My mind is boggled and this non sense is unbelievable and I have not been keeping up with this until recently. I have heard about the craziness over the past 5 plus years. Does anybody remember when the tech stocks crashed in the spring of 2000. I must be naive or something because I don't get it??
    What will this General Lee remake be worth in a few years?? and there are many other cars at this auction that I would not own at any price.
    I guess that what makes the world go around,.. we all have different tastes and different pocket books. Are these investments or are they just wants?
    I think everybody @ BJ thinks they are investing but they are really just gambling. Whatever...

    There have been some good deals and some deals that seem to me to be off the wall. Something is wrong and it scares me to see people pissing away money like this on clones and customs that would cost a fraction of what they're paying for them to make an identical one.

    As for good deals today, the bullet proof mobile home for $40K comes to mind. Now that's security on wheels.

    If I had money to burn... I'd buy the Robasaurus AND all the hemi "tribute" cars. Then I'd burn and eat every one of the phony hemi cars. Yum...

    I found myself wondering how wide the TV distribution of the auction gets-imagine that you only knew about America from watching things like this-

    I cant believe it. You of all people clammed up?? Jimmy, say it isnt so!

    Ive seen the last few women Jimmy has dated and they were all smoking hot. I dont know how the hell he does it. He has a gift. I'll chalk it up to the fact that you had a very tramatic experience and were'nt yet over it.

    But we expect better from you next time!
