Default B J auction

I was watching the auction and a morbid thought came to me. I wonder how many of those awesome cars original owners are some where in heaven wishing they had driven them cars instead of looking at them?I cant imagine having some of them wheels and never driving them back when they were new.I have a neighbor who has a 65vette that hasnt left his garage in 17years. It has 3800miles on it.Strange

Yeah, but since they didn't drive them, they are worth more now. Think of all the potato chips and game boys these guys can now purchase to pretend they are racing and driving cars...
