Exactly! BJ is in the prime position, it never matters what the car cost to build or what it sells for, they make the cash either way. And Speed for whoring themselves out to all of the advertisers of course. These commercials are killing the whole thing for me.

DVR= Record, come back later and shave 4 hours off by skipping the ads.

Making a profit on a " badass " car is easier said than done. I have always justified spending money, and I can be cheap, tying it up. If I can come close to breaking even when it sells, then I'm happy.

Scott --- Well said. I'm thinking that this might be the last year I watch any of it on TV... it's become boring. Way too many commercials.... and frankly - a LOT of erroneous information.

There was no - none - zip - "buzz" this year at BJ... I'm not sure if the weather played a part in that or not. And here's another observation. 2 years ago - I wanted to buy some pieces of the stuff that a couple outfits do - restored old gas pumps - and misc shop pieces. They're top notch - and they get top notch prices. Most of them where sold on the FIRST DAY of BJ... so I was out of luck on a couple things I would have bought.

THIS YEAR --- I'm looking at the stuff SATURDAY afternoon - and very little was tagged SOLD.... most of it's going to go home with the vendor.

HUGE DIFFERENCE.... just HUGE. Ditto most of the "art". In years past - you had to be pretty fast and not drool too long or the piece you wanted was gone... this year - you could still buy all of it - anything you wanted - and barter on the price too!

Aparently some haven't heard of DVR. ;)

I actually watch about 10 hours in 15 minutes. :lol:

That's how we watch it. Just hold fast forward. But you have to be careful. It's easy to completely miss the 3 seconds of coverage they give some cars.

I did that Friday after work.....jammed right through Thursday's show! I wasn't home Thursday....so I pretty much FF right to the Red Witch and then hit delete! :lol:

:rofl: ain't that the truth!

Thanks for the correction Greg. Yes it's a 35 and is wonderful! It must of been the sun or more likely the coronas down here in Mexico getting to me... :D

Hell yea.. we DVR it and then watch.. I blew through 4 hours of coverage in about an hour.

I would litterally be like two cars and then commercials. One time I swear it was ONE CAR before the next commercial break.

DVR is the ONLY way to watch this.

I was there also selling a car and I believe all of Dougs money on the car was the auction raising the bid. The money was not real! Another beautiful thing about those auctions!
