Ted, I'm watching the Barrett-Jackson auction on Velocity TV. We're down here in Phoenix and spent Thursday with some friends wandering around the Barrett-Jackson auction grounds. With about 5,000 of our closest friends.
Being an avid people watcher, I was very interested in the crowd. Very upscale, very affluent, mostly white, mostly males, but I don't think I saw many who looked like they stumbled out of a Chevy truck ad.
And for those who might be interested, we did get a few things at the auction: Two hot dogs, a couple of beers and tired feet.
For those of you who have never been to a Barrett-Jackson auction, I'd suggest you try to make it. Phoenix is their largest auction. They have over 1,500 cars crossing the auction block and over a MILLION square feet under their tents. This was my third trip to the auction and every time has been special.
