OT: Barrett Jackson

Anyone go to the auction this year? I didn't go last year, but went to the inaugural year. I was pleasantly surprised for the first year, but this year I felt there was a lack of really decent cars - is it me or is the quality slipping?

I think your calling card is becoming obvious...JMick is the expert in anything and everything, no matter what the topic seems to be. With all of your experience and insider knowledge I'm surprised you have time to post on the Boneyard...

Right...and your current count of things you have a certain degree of confidence in is 12,932...you just proved my point.

It would be more fun to watch you play against yourself...or I guess interested readers could just open the 30 page recent thread where you basically do the same

Let me know if you find anything good. Unfortunately I think most of the cesspool stuff is gone.

Fair enough.
I noted elsewhere that the English language is making a lot of people look less than their best these days. You were actually pretty close.

Lol don't get me wrong, there are some nice cars there, but a lot of the cars are being sold by a few high profile restorers living off of a brand name that they built 20-30 years ago. There are so many horror stories about these auctions. Everything from falsified VINs to using the entirely wrong frame from a different car and passing it off as the real thing. And this is from the "brand name" guys

You beat me to it. I was about to post something similar. He's 28 years old and knows all better than everyone alive. He's probably in the preliminary stages of getting ready to run for president make America greater with his superior knowledge of everything.

Good avatar but not really accurate since "he" is singular not plural. Don't get me wrong, I don't really hate anyone that's a UConn fan...some days I just have a low threshold for internet king BS. I personally deal with enough people at my job who are full of , sometimes when I log in here and see more of the same it pisses me off. Keep doing your thing though, there are clearly a couple people here who think it's cute.
