Did you catch the sold girl walking around in a set of funny looking high heels Friday.:D Granted they were not stilettos but they did have some rise to them, a good way to make your feet hurt! That's a long day!

And not one of us here at The Vette Barn are impressed.

We're more impressed with Bruze's photo chops, fuhchrissakes.

The gal tagging now isn’t bad, for wearing fuzzy socks and army boots

Had to come up with something, since they took the elephants out of the circus…..meaning it’s todays Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus.

You do have to admit that they do A lot to boost car enthusiast attraction

I went to the B-J auctions in Conn at the casino a couple times. It was very interesting, unfortunately that COVID nonsense got in the way and the casino took the time slot for another function.

I did get a chance to spend about 10 minutes talking with Cristy Lee when a camera broke down and they were waiting for a new one. Nice and friendly to talk with, I got to admit she was shorter in person than what she appears on TV.:Sexy:

I prefer to watch Mecum auctions; but will watch BJ's as well

Looks like 2-3 years ago they started heavily medicating Craig Jackson... and the telecasts are more enjoyable to watch.

Oppenheimer won out tonight .. anything cool go across tonight ?

The last one I saw go across was an old ‘70 or so Bronco , $280k or something, the damn door didn’t even line up .. major gap

Barret Jackson type auctions have ruined the car industry. It makes people feel every car they have is worth a shit ton more than they are really worth.

Cars are worth what people are willing to pay for them.

Yes. I get that.
But, when someone wants to buy a car to drive, restore and it is has been sold because someone paid stupid money for it, it causes price increse.
Much like home

Yes. And solid marketing by these auction companies who have turned the auction itself into an entertainment venue. More interest and more people mean higher prices. Add a bunch of wealthy intoxicated fools out to impress the trophy wife and ...wolah!
