I didn't see the auction, but the car went to Rick Hendricks, I assume?

Meanmyz, you took the thought right out of my head...first guy I thought of was Rick Hendricks as the buyer. It's a great gesture, but since he's got so much pull with GM, I'm surprised GM just didn't sell him the car as an "inventory/allocation" for his dealership. I know it would be a lot less publicity for him, but he could have bought the car at cost and then made a donation to the charity.

He bids/gets all the #1 cars thru the BJ auction. All the money goes to a charity.
