I think I read some where that Cher's Truck sold for $158.000.00. I have all the pics of it on my puter. It is a nice truck, But not THAT nice. (unless she came with it. I saw her in person and she is still FINE to be 60+)

It was probably bought by one of the high dollar ******s to haul his un-spent money out of there.
As for the hobby being Cyclic..... I'll buy that, to a point. Some people come back to reality, others cling to the memory of "XXXXXX selling for 1 millionkajillion dollars @ Barret/Jackson. Maybe its their idea of a retirement plan.

There is a small minority here who maintain a high level of charm and a slender bank account. When we turn on our television sets we would like to remember that this is "entertainment." Many beautiful things are viewed with the notion that this "beauty" has a monetary value.

The BJ "auction" is certainly entertaining. Here, the fiscally well-endowed can be seen spending huge sums on cars and trucks. We appreciate the trucks but decry the "value." What about my truck, we exclaim loudly! That's nuts. Look at this... pos that someone wants big bucks for! We get a great deal of mileage out of this simple form of "entertainment" and end sentences with a preposition.

As a spokesmodel for the small minority mentioned at the outset, I suggest we enjoy the other guy's good fortune, just as we "enjoy" shows like the American Idol. If we have a truck that we like, let's just enjoy it to the max.
We are spending a far greater percentage of our net worth than the chumps who can afford an overvalued truck.

with no shortage of charm, himmelberg

Very well said (as usual).

I especially appreciate the part about spending a higher percentage of our net worth. Believe it: if I won the lotto, I'd have my truck redone to the max!

However, I would still drive the wheels off it!

I was watching BJ last night and saw a Cuda sold.I think it was a clone but not sure and it may have been a convertible,can't remember.It brought around 80k.I noticed when the car was leaving the block they showed the back at the tail pipes that one of them was not even centered up where it came out of the bottom panel,I couldn't help but notice.You would think for that much money something simple like that could not be over looked.Did anyone else catch that?

I have been helping a friend all day get his 54 Olds Super 88 running. We got her lit and purring, when he told me of some brake problems he'd been having. I called a Tri 5 expert friend to axe for some advice. He said "call me after monday, I'm in Scottsdale Arizona" "You at the BJ??" "yep"."What are you looking for?". "Nothing, just lookin." "You flew out there to look??" "yep" Uh-huh... He is obscenely wealthy. He said the 1-5 million dollar cars will be on the block today.
