I agree, DVR is the greatest invention ever for watching the auction. In fact, I'm watching my recording from last night right now! If you DVR'd last night, they did a feature on Brett Micheals' Camaro in I think the first hour.

Very nice Camaro. Wonder why he wants to sell it. Surely he does not need the money...

IMO,nothing special about that car,sure could use an update-just like his hairdo...I doubt too, that he is selling it for the money,just another opportunity for this attention seeker to plaster his face on yet another media outlet...

A warbonnett yellow 71 with what they called a "LT-1 appearance package",which to me looked like just BB hood with the LT-1 striping sold for 19k tuesday night.

Not missing much other than a bunch of people that have had too much to drink, paying too much for cars.
