I went yesterday and had a great time at Mecum. Although I did spend some decent money getting in buying food drinks and some other stuff. I don't go to any thing like this though so it's like a once a year thing. I was shocked how many C4's were there at the auction way more than C5's and C6's. Some real nice ones too Grand sports, 3 ZR-1's a couple of 35th anniv, great examples of the best C4's.

Yep me to. I DVR it and can fastfoward through the stuff that doesn't interest me and can see a lot of cars. I was at one years ago and it was great to see the cars in person but now I figure if I'm not buying I don't need to touch them.
