    I like to have it on in the background muted mostly, lots of great cars, and some cute gals too sometimes.

    There's some guy with an amazing collection of over 140 cars and tons of auto-mobila all getting auctioned off. I've now seen a few high end collectors completely sell off collections in the last 2 years, for auto collectors that has to be a bad sign for their collections future prices.

    What I really find odd is restored old Bronco's and Toyota Land Cruisers going for $50k+, I don't get it. I do get it a bit, but not at those prices.

    I've been watching it a little bit.
    I forget about the cars because I'm distracted by the rear end of the woman putting the SOLD sticker on the windshield. God, I love tight pants.

    Oh, is it this weekend? I thought it was last, and I was out of town. I am drawn to it, but get bored by the number of similar vehicles and sometimes get ill at what has been cut up and rodded. (I'm fine with hot rodding if you're taking an incomplete basket case out, but many of these six figure jobs start with beautifully original cars.)

    I watch for 60's muscle cars just to see how much they are fetching.
     
  5. Yes, I will watch from time to time. I watch in spurts like when I eat lunch or dinner but I usually will not directly sit down and watch.
    I do get a bit tired of the coverage. They will focus on 37, 1963 thru 1967 Corvettes while all but completely ignoring some very interesting vehicles in between.

    Yes, I'm a huge car nut. I DVR them and watch in condensed form.

    I drool over the vintage VW buses, Toyota Landcruisers and Jeeps occasionally.
