Barrett-Jackson: Lying stupidity you can't believe

[Modelmartin]

Ok guys! You came up with a lot of BJ names of people, products, etc. When I said act I meant a sexual act! I hope you all got that.

Since it was mentioned already I will throw my two cents in the pot on the fake or not ambulance.

Something fishy happened with that supposedly crushed JFK ambulance. Why would they crush it in the first place. Two why did the museum never put the car on display. Three The only people on the Witness statement were members of the JFK museum and none were from the junk yard that crushed it. four they took 24 photos of the car from every possible angle including inside the car but magically missed every single VIN number plate on the car. five Why was the Navy numbers spray painted over on both doors but not the back? six why did the JFK museum not come forward with the documentation about the car being crushed until they were contacted by a website and some amateur historians they had to know someone was claiming to own a JFK ambulance. Seven The museum keep documentation of crushing the car including photos of it being crushed but didn't keep any documentation of receiving the car. eight when does an assistant archivist have enough power to allow the destruction of government property and why was no government liaison present to witness the car being destroyed that is mandatory to make sure things are actually disposed off. nine Why would the museum not want to pass along the car to another museum when they didn't want it anymore which the must have never wanted in the first place since it was never put on display. Honestly to me it seems fishy all around.

Odds are both are fake.

I find the Barrett- Jackson auctions to be a total waste of time. For one, its always the same cars- Chevelles, Novas, tri- 5 Chevys and more hemipowered Mopar muscle cars than were ever actually produced. And do you have to keep reminding us of the obvious? All Lincolns from '61- '66 were 4 doors, with reverse- opening rear doors. All Chargers (until that ugly 300 rehash) were all hardtops. And a 2- door post sedan is not a hardtop by virtue of the b- post. Plus, they do a disservice to the marketplace- some schmuck pays $200,000 for a '68 Dresden Firebomb 2+2, so someone thinks that '68 Dresden Firebomb 2+2 in his back yard on cinder blocks is worth at least half that. I like what my brother says- "Why is this on Speed when the cars are pushed across the stage?"

Harold, Most of the cars are driven through the staging lanes and onto the stage. They push to center stage and push off...I suspect its the sound issue...If you watched the frame cam there were a lot of fan belts spinning

So many points of difference. I don't care if the half-informed think the '53 Ersatz Belchfire that fell through the ice and has been at the bottom of the pond since the summer of '68 is worth half a million. Even if it does have the octagonal combustion chamber heads. If it's not up to snuff, they will figure out its worthlessness eventually.

Anyone remember when speed was actually a cool channel to watch? 20 hours a day of swap buggy races, indy/cart, foreign races, ALMS, Demo derbys, and any other weird off the wall racing they could put some cameras at.

The only show that comes close to what Speed used to be is "On the Edge" and is the only show I watch everyday anymore. Even "Windtunnel" has been censored more and more to be Nascar friendly.
