Just got back from the Barrett-Jackson auto auction. I'd never been before, but Joe goes almost every year. We wandered about and looked at the exhibits, and the cars, then watched the auction for a bit. They were auctioning off a 1966 Shelby Cobra "Super Snake" (owned by Carroll Shelby himself, who was present) - the only one still in existence, and we hung around to see what it went for. I figured somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.2 - 1.5 million. (I hate people who can spend more on a car than I spent on my HOUSE. Okay - I don't hate them, really. But I sure am envious.)

My estimate was low. WAY low. The car set a new record at Barrett-Jackson, going for FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

Yow. What on earth does one DO with a five million dollar car?

car, auction
