Yes! There was plenty of affordable fun cars available on Thursday, and “the bid goes on” still for some of them.

I might wear my new long sleeve white Jake skull T-shirt and Grand Sport hat so you can tell your kids/grandkids “hey I know that (handsome) guy” as you watch on Velocity!

Good thing I am down with the Mrs. partying it up in Nashville, TN, this weekend, as I would have otherwise gone to Mecum and if I found a steal on Thursday or Friday would have been tempted to buy another muscle car, and then would have really been in a chit storm with da wife, versus partying hard and having a riot down in Nashville.

I just picked up a 65 mint condition, hot rod Dodge Coronet 500 on October 1, and if bought another a muscle car after that things would be really interesting at my home right now.

But what the heck I'm living large down in Nashville with da wife and its time for another drink, timing is everything.

Had a great time on Saturday at the auction.

Started with breakfast with my good buddy, Bob, at Wildberry. Good food & good service. Company was good, also.

Saw many primo cars.

Ran into another friend of mine who had sold two of his cars on TV Friday night. He was quite happy with his time there, of course!

Rained a little bit, but did not seem to dampen anyone's spirits.
