So....back from Barrett Jackson and after taking it all back in....I probably could have finished there in a couple days instead of four. I believe the good deals were happening mostly Wednesday and Thursday....and maybe a few here and there the other days.

I noticed that the cars looked a lot better under all the lights then they did outside.

Some cars went for about two or three times what they should have.

Under the tent.....it isn't bright enough to wear sunglasses.

There was a pretty cool 63 or 64 Savoy/Belvedeere convertible that was light blue in color with a little bit darker blue top. Just like my Grandma would've liked....but it was equipped with a 426 Max Wedge with two fours....and a 4-speed! Talk about a sleeper. Probably my favorite car.

Got to test drive a four door Ford Raptor with the 6.2liter. Nice truck. Fox Shocks. It sure didn't take much to get the tires loose....lots of power. Also drove a CTSV wagon. powerful also.

Over all it was a fun time because I was with my dad and brother.

Scottsdale and Phoenix were nice. We must have missed all the traffic because we didn't have any problem moving around.

Also.....favorite place to hang out/eat/have a beer......Twisted Kilt. We don't have those here in Ohio.....wow.
