Barret-Jackson: People with more money than taste.

For the second year in a row, I (Bryan) went to Barrett-Jackson. It is a fancy auto show where people spend lots of money on old cars. Ray and I noticed that they were even selling wrist watches that retailed for over $500,000.00. But for the show they were reduced to only $462k.
I was great seeing some famous cars, we saw The Monkee's mobile, the original Bat Mobile, Robosaurus (the vehicle that eats other ones at monster truck shows) and even a General Lee.

This year the Corvettes and Chargers were a dime a dozen. You couldn't walk anywhere without seeing a car that you just saw. I was exited to see the rare cars that you dont see every day, like a WW2 Jeep MB, or the cars from the Discovery Channel's Monster Garage. (Ray really liked the Porche that picked up golf balls, then shot them back at the golfers.

I participated in the "Hummer expirence" where they let you take an H2 or an H3 up a hill and through a mud puddle. I will stick with my Jeep, thank you very much.

I kept up the tradition of appearing in TV again, it was right after the Mayberry replica Galaxy, so look for me standing next to one of the bidders on the phone with Jill and my father. (National TV is the first time they have seen me in over a year).
