It seems all the cars they had big, splashy coverage on didn't bring big numbers.

Also, anyone else notice the ton more ads this year and a lot less cars seen on the block? BOOOOOOO!!!

I watched the interview with Craig Jackson and Shades (Steve Davis) Saturday evening and they did their best to put a positve spin on the Auction and the prices but other then a few exceptions the cars just weren't bringing the Money to back up their BS.

Re: So at Barrett-Jackson...

After being at BJ and seeing most of these cars in person I can say I that most of these guys buying these cars are NOT car guys. I was there when they started them up or brought them back from being auctioned. Some were real hard starting, others dumped black smoke at idle and that's not even getting into the guys that they have driving these cars. I'm sure a couple of guys needed clutches after these morons drove them. I watch it a couple of times where the guy parking the car had it revved up to about 3000rpm and was going 2mph trying to back the car into it's spot, talk about burning up a clutch. :


Anyway I guess it's true that money can't buy smarts, because these guys have to be making some of the worst investments in there lives by spending so much money on these cars.

I'm sure Davis thinks he looks cool, and/or, he believes its his look with those bowling shirts. Whatever.

Would you guys buy a car from a guy who doesnt take his sunglasses off? Besides, it is just plain rude. I wear sunglasses at work everyday and I remove them every time I meet a client and say goodbye.

Re: So at Barrett-Jackson...

That C.O.P.O. Camaro WAS a pretty good deal,if I had the $$$$(and if I was a little 'reckless'...)I'd snap it up,have it shipped Home,put 'er in the Garage,break out the Tools,toss that 427,a slide in a nice 250-6 :o ;D. I'd HAVE TO do it.........as a payback for all the L6 Cars that have been butchered over the decades by hambfisted 'Hot-Rodders' ;D :D. ~J/W.

Re: So at Barrett-Jackson...

Put me on the list to smack the glasses off his face. not so much the glasses, but for his " Im beeter than you , I so Damn cool attitude." He should have Snap -on tattooed on his forehead , since he is such a Tool.

Re: So at Barrett-Jackson...

Re: So at Barrett-Jackson...

To me, Craig Jackson is a bigger douche every time he grabs the mic and tells the bidders they should be bidding more on whatever car. Its obvious that he convinced the car owner to sell it at BJ because he'll get more money. That stupid reserve is for those other weak, suck auctions. I know most auctions give owners an estimated sell price and when they are way over estimated have really pissed off sellers who dont come back.
