Default Barett Jackson anyone?

Are any of you going to Barrett Jackson to dream / laugh? Although I find them responsible for some of the ridiculous muscle car prices I also have seen some incridible cars there. L88, COPO, Motion etc.

The wife and I will be there on Saturday and possibly Sunday, there's a LOT more to the "live" experience than just the auction. It takes at least one whole day just to walk the vendors. So much cool stuff.

Guess I'll just watch the reruns every week for the next year.
Anyone heard if they plan on doing another "Car Search" series? I enjoyed that.

As you know,I'm thinking of running over there...but..what is outside for sale ? Or do they auction out in the lots ??? Talking of cars that don't make the "inside"......or final "cut"...

Thanks,
Rich
