As far as the GM tour bus, did anyone notice the guy that bought it? He had been buying ridiculously expensive cars all day like it was nothing. I'm wondering how drunk he was. He also bought the $1,150,000 race Chevelle and the Elvis Presley limo. He must have money out the wazoo.

That guy withdrew his bid in the end so the guy who won the Bonneville Concept and the Olds 88 from last year so he could keep the three together

I don't watch it any more because it's all just domestic crap that people are paying WAY too much money for. Back on the day they used to mix in a lot of good cars like Euro sports cars and such but now it's all just awful muscle cars and gaudy custom hot rods.....not my bag at all.

i remember they had twin HPA .:R32's with 550hp...over $50,000 went into each one...i think they went for like $40,000 anf $50,000 at barrett jackson. that would have been a good deal for some 11 sec all wheel drive vdubs.

anyone see the sunfire that went for $85,000...made me sick
