So sore from walking haha. Ya Ive been the last 4 or 5 years now and we probably watch less than 1 hour of the auction. Too much to see and do. Talked to a lot of vendors this year. AMP wanted to tune my car but I said no thanks....

Anyone talk to the car lift guys? Every single one was $800-1000 more than the others and they all looked identical

man I had a great time, right up till the end of the drift demo when a lady and her kids decided to stand and watch the show from the first row of the bleachers and COMPLETELY block my view. I asked her to move semi-politely(you know how loud the cars were) 2x before she finally turned around and yelled back that I could stand.....

Yeah hate to say it but typical Americans, sometimes I wonder how we got to be where we are with "people" like this.....It might be that whole "generational thing" Me Me Me, what ever feels good just do it and dont worry about the consequences...ever. Not all are like that but the ones that are stand out like neon lights...

The story didn't begin nor end there and is too long to type it all out. I have never lost on a complete stranger in public before but I did today and now looking back I have to chuckle a little bit. The look on her face was priceless. I yelled back," I got here 5 mins before the show started, 20 mins before you arrived and didn't pick a seat that I wanted to stand in as her your is the only one standing is such a stupid place. I already asked you once politely, sat behind you and carried out a conversation with her(pointed at the lady next to me) about how rude it was for you to stand there loud enough for you to hear and now I am going to be rude and tell you to get your big azz outte the way!"

She just stood there while her kids were complaining about the rubber and smoke in thier eyes, but they had been doing that since they got there. She didn't care if they went blind standing there as long she got to block my view.......... moments later the 2010 again fired up and she and her crew just turned around again to block us. Shortly after that the woman I had pointed to walked up and in a much calmer tone asked her if she would move but the lady shrugged her off.

she looked to be a great role model for the 3 kids that were going blind.

We watched the auction until 5pm Sunday and the GM Historical vehicles were not bringing the money they should/could have. Vette as low as $17k?!?

2 year old Shelby was taking pictures of the cars coming off the stage. Barrett-Jackson Prez Steve Davis thought it was cute and introduced her and Anthony to the audience during the auction.

I was there to watch the last few gm historic cars today. I thought they were going for less then what they could also but then again most of them were not street legal and had a salvaged title so you can't drive them.

Just before I went in they had one of the trucks from a movie of some kind. I can't remember which I thought it was funny that it had a flat tire right after being sold. Are they sold as is?

I think GM came to the show and the good Friday/Saturday slots were already sold out, so they had to settle. Very bad move. Yes, sold as-is/where-is. They coast them down the ramp and then start them just outside, and one of the GM race cars smoked like crazy. Did you catch Shelby (my daughter) on stage? It was around 5pm.

GM prices sucked because they flooded BJ with a lot of crap. I saw 35+ cars under $9k and I think all but 4 or 5 were from GM
