Robosaurus a new low for Barrett-Jackson
Im sorry but this just proves this so called "auction" is nothing more than a circus.

I think it's the 9 million hours of TV coverage they have to fill. I've tried to watch a few times, but it's been tough. The Mustang modified to be a lawnmower, being bid up to $7000, the suspense of seeing if it would make $7500 was just too much for me to handle
Maybe the good stuff will come later. Seeing garden variety, partially modified '70s American cars going one after another for $18,000 is pretty boring. |

The best was the '88 Dodge Diplomat CHP police car that went for $27k. I don't even think it had Corinthian leather!

C'mon, you can only look at so many Chargers, Camaros, and 'Cudas. Throw in some variety and I might watch.

I'm waiting for the Gravedigger monster truck to go up for auction... been saving up my nickles and dimes.
You may call me a dreamer... but I'm not the only one...
