Did you catch the sold girl walking around in a set of funny looking high heels Friday. 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.

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.

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.

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
