There is no higher ROI on anything... the problem is the guy who bought the beer is the guy who gets the return  ;D

Just popping on here to state the obvious:

Buying cars at auction is, without question, the worst way to buy for the consumer.

The entire structure of the events is designed for a buyer to make uneducated, rushed decisions, there is little to no recourse after the sale, and you have to have a masters degree in cutting thru BS used-car-dealer semantics just to get a reasonable understanding of what the description of the offering actually means.

But hey, those 5 "free" miller lites went down smooth didn't they?

That's all I got.. carryon!  ;D

Looked this one over today... the block is stamped with the car's serial number....

... it's Shelby serial number  ::)

Knowing that, you can use your imagination on the rest of it... you won't be far off.

Quote from: TA Coupe on March 17, 2026, 11:31:57 PMIn my opinion, if you couldn't talk about the man while he was alive, You shouldn't be beating him down Now that he is dead and unable to say anything. As the british say, that's just bad form.
It's just like the people that are now trying to besmirche The memory of Caesar Chavez, 33 years after he died. Not saying he was guilty or not guilty. But why not say something a long time ago?

       Roy

On the one hand, I agree in principle with what you are saying Roy.

On the other hand, I don't think holding someone to account for their actions is "beating them down". It is what it is. Dead or alive, Dave was a flawed human being just like all of us are. Frankly, I have always admired how charitable the person who bought his negatives has been over the years to have never publicly held Dave to account for it all.

Balls and strikes... nothing personal.

Kind regards,
Vern

This has been one of those things kept on the "down low" over the years. Now that he has passed, the truth can more freely come out.

Pete Brock and Steele Therkleson took quite a few photographs during their daily activities... somehow the credit for those shots got attributed to Dave  ::)

Kind regards,
