Yeah, kind of lost interest in the auction. Maybe tomorrow they'll have some higher quality cars on there! I think they've got to many of the auctions going on now----TV revenues must be good, I suppose......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I've only been seeing snippets of it, but based on the remarks here the cars I've seen briefly are representative of most of the offerings. They look like run of the mill rod run/bigger local show units. Not necessarily bad, but not the "special" stuff that we've come to expect from the winter auction. And that may be part of the "problem"..........expectations. Perhaps they're responding to complaints that the stratosphere priced hardware is unrealistic. Or as suggested, they're just over milking the cow.
With SPEED becoming ESPN lite next week we'll see if this apparent over supply of auction programing continues. I don't get FUEL (that I know of) so maybe some of the former SPEED product will be migrating there........time will tell.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
