Oh no, say it ain't so! John Schneider's General Lee is on the blocks AGAIN! Remember this from eBay?...haha. Don't think it'll go for $10+M this time.

I've been looking forward to the 2008 auction for a while now! I've caught myself watching the 2007 reruns more times than I can count.

I'll definitely be watching.

I was there Sunday. Good day to go as there was no auction and it was only $15 to get in and crowd was small. Watched Robosoris(sp) chew up a Saturn and set it on fire. There were just too many cars that I wanted to even try to pick one!

Easy answer for me to that one, Duesenberg. Any model any type.

It is a bugger we don't get any coverage of the BJ event here in OZ. It must really be something to experience.

Show's on folks. Six days of live coverage coming right up!!!

Cars, bikes, boats and who knows what else.

I'd like to see a resto-mod convertible Pontiac like a Catalina or early GTO or something.

When I was a kid my neighbor had a 4 door convertible Elecrta 225 Buick.

We called it "Land Shark"

The auction really brings me back.

Talk about strange stuff or what. How about a Rolls Royce honey wagon or a Peterbuilt trike that weights 4000 lbs? The engine weighs 3000! The RR was crappy overall BTW, but the sewer sucker in the trunk worked just fine. The stuff is selling though. An old 32 Ford Rat Rod with painted on rust just went for $15,000.

That's it for tonight. Five hours is a long time and 33 more to go. 110 cars sold for $2.5 million. See ya tomorrow night 7 PM Eastern!
