I love watching them too. Planning to go to the September one here in Illinois.

I love that Chevelle.

I enjoy watching up to a point. The 'point' is about where I get upset because I know that I can't afford any of the ones I want.
Then it's kinda like looking at a girly mag when your married....or a bakery window when you're on a diet. Does you no good.

Love to see the cars, hate to see the irritating rabblerouser-employees that push bidders into buying stuff with all that manufactured enthusiasm. Makes sales, but by gum it's annoying and insincere.
