Seems like Mecum goes to commercial every time a C3 is next!!!!! Earlier a red 73 was to follow a Nova - they went to commercial. Then a green C3 was on deck and again they cut to commercial!!!!!! This has been an ongoing pet peeve of mine that may also annoy other interested C3 owners.

Third time now. That's it - I can't watch anymore. Anti-C3 coverage. I can't look at another Nova and Torino. Boycott on Mecum starts today in this house

Didn't know it was on - just turned the DVR on so I can skip through the non-c3s later. Hope they cover some

When one does show up, they'll talk about how it's a nice entry level collector car with low horsepower and a low price.

Is this a tv show or live coverage for something?

I've made that comment to my wife several times. Whenever a Corvette appears on deck they go to commercial KC was not an impressive auction at all. It was no Kissimmee, that's for sure.
