I am surprised you or LV did not buy that military version of the motorhome especially for the low dollar that thing went for. Less than a conventional motorhome. You could have used it for party central at some of the shows and Steve would have been the envy of all his friends on the next Elk hunt!

That battle ready RV went for $50k!
That thing will get you some respect at the next tail gate party you go to. I can see that thing in the Lambo parking lot with a plume of brat smoke over it.

I thought it went for CONSIDERABLY less than that.... At $50k, it was still a pretty good deal considering how well equipped it was. Best part about it was if you hunted Minnesota, you would be ok from all the errant bullets that fly around here during season and with the bullet proof armor, you would be fine. That is why I don't hunt here anymore.

I agree about the commercials. Saw enough of that red Mustang commercial to know what the underside of one of those look like with my eyes closed.

I'm guessing that over 95% of the cars went to new owners. Some cars that show up the next year are probaly brought back to sell because they bought it under the influence and then woke up, maybe think they are gonna make money, tired of the POS etc. I don't think there was any planning on what cars to exclude from TV coverage by going to commercial breaks. They have no need to do that. As fo r "under the money" etc..It is a auction and that is what happens at auctions. There are great deals and there are stupid deals.

Seeing as how Ford sponsored this years B-J auction, how
funny would it have been to see Robosaurus smoke a Mustang
or other Ford icon?

Was it just chomping on GM cars this year?


BTW, I heard that Reggie Jackson was seen @ B-J this year,
but sold his cars in another auction farther west. Any
truth to this? If so, what's the story there?

Nuch
