My drool glands are working overtime. The Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction began this week and today the big-money cars are going on the block. It's on Speed Channel and if you are a classic car buff, or if you just like shiny things, you HAVE to be watching this. You won't see some of these babies anywhere else.
Seriously, it's worse than getting sucked in to fishing tournaments or Cheers reruns.... the polished paint and gleaming chrome (enhanced by their special lighting and cameras for that extra-sparkly effect) will hypnotize, mesmerize, and stupefy. I found myself sitting slack-jawed as a Hemi Cuda sold for almost half a million big ones. And that wasn't even the top seller of the day... that honor (so far) went to... get this... the RIGHT to buy the first 2007 Mustang Shelby Cobra. $648,000 for the deal, plus whatever the car is going to cost once it's built.... flippin' insane. (UPDATE: 4.2 MILLION for a 1950 GM Futurliner "Parade of Progress" show bus. Yes, I said a BUS.) The top 20 sellers so far have all gone for over 200 grand and there's still the rest of tonight and tomorrow to go. Addictive. VERY addictive.
And in this corner.... TNA iMPACT! is on at 11:00 PM. See high-flying action! See Jeff Jarrett get booed again! Tune in to hear what's up with Sting!
We're doing the entire routine... cheese steaks (Philly style, with Whiz of course), chips, and brownies. Collective oohs and aahs for the cars, a couple of "dang, that was COOL" comments for the wrestling (and much eye-rolling) and maybe some Scrabble. We have no life! I love it.
