Who Are These People??? Where's The Beef...I mean Money??

wish I had that kinda disposable income.....sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh....I'd build me a buncha hot rods...and drive the peewad out of them....

 

You meant 5 Mil right????

 

Stupid why???.....cuz you don't have it??? WTF???

 

Not stupid at all. The man that bought it has a museum with many Shelby cars and he wanted it and has the money. Good for him. The money will probably go to Shelby's foundation and that is great for some sick kids.

 

I think it was terrific. Look where the $ went. That man deserves a standing ovation. He's still out there at 84 years old influencing Ford. Hell, I'll be darned glad to be on this side of the sod at that age let alone doing half of what he's doing.
Bravo!

 

was it a super snake cobra only 2 made

 

The one remaining super, Shelby's own.

Shelby said the other one was destroyed. What I would give for a ride or better yet drive that car. It would take two weeks to break the suction on the seat.

 

I watched the auction and it was pretty cool at least its not another hemicuda. but i did find it kinda funny that the sister car was built by Shelby for Bill Cosby. getting apicture of him doing 150 on the freeway eating jello pudding

 

Call me crazy but didn,t the guy that paid a million for that hummer have a look on his face like what the **** did I just do????

 

Hey,

Whatz a Supersnake?
Is that the one with the 427 and the big-***ed quarter panels?

S****ey devils C.C.

 

427...cross ram 2 4's, pushed by 2 turbo's.....loved it when Carroll said he got stopped in nevada goin' 190 in it..back in the 60's

 

Aluminum body,aluminum 427,dual carbs,dual superchargers=800HP! Too bad it was an automatic,but fast is fast. I liked the story about him getting pulled over for doing 190,in Arizona. 0to60 in a little over 3sec. ****!!! BTW,it has Vortec,maybe Paxton, superchargers,not turbos.

 

Gotta love that. Two centrifugal blowers kick ***! I love the technology backing that kinda thing. I just hope the money and the car are put to good use for the people.

 

Wow.......

Bill Cosby did an album dedicated to that called Bill Cosby at 200mph.

I was laughed out of my 6th grade cl*** for bringing BC to my cl***.

 

I am looking at Hamb and watching the Barrett-Jackson on TV at the same time. I love to see the cars and trucks on there, but most all of them are just waaaaay too nice for me. It makes me wonder......where do all these people get the money they have to just go and pay hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars for these Cars?? I know this is probably stupid, but it is almost unbelieveable isn't it? One guy had the car bought for $500,000 and then went ahead and bid against himself and put another $100,000 to the additional price just for the Hell of it! I on the other hand, am still hoping to pay the Light Bill and House payment on time. How do they do it? I am 50 years old and worked all of my life and still ***** and raise Hell because Gas prices went up a nickel or dime in a week. Anyway, just had to vent for a minute or two. Hope you all understand where I am coming from. If you are one of those RICH GUYS out there reading this, PM me and let's talk about your secret to success!

 

Donald Trump said is best when he was asked what it takes to be rich..."guts"

 

I think it boils down to more money than brains, and in turn hurting the average joes like us.

 

You are very wrong......most of the cars that sell today will be resold for more money. "Average Joes" aren't hurt, just jealous.

 

The guy your talking about brought the super snake for $5,000,000.00 also. Actually that guy since i've been paying closer attention spent over ten million dollars today alone.

 

Well gramps down the street all of a sudden thinks his heap is a 100000k car because he saw one sell on 'Barett Jackson'

that doesn't hurt us?

 

Actually I thought he looked pretty choked up at the thought of the good he was doing by helping out the troops and even more so when the Vette guy let him have the car and said he'd contribute 250,000 PLUS having B-J say they'd not just waive their fees but contribute them to the fund.

Can't help but feel emotional when everyone is doing so much for a great cause.

AsI was typing this they just said why Chip wasn't there for the Hummer auction - was was helping his son with his pine wood derby racer. Gotta love it!

 

I too wonder how the bidders came into having that much money to spend. I'd like to see a behind the scenes "how the rich car collectors became rich and what they do during the day" show.

In defence of the guy who bid himself up 100k, the money for that car was going to charity (diabetes if I remember correctly), so that was pretty cool of him.

 

There's plenty of old junk for sale....go grab one and leave grandpa alone. He doesn't want to sell it anyways......just likes to talk to people trying to buy it. It helps keep him entertained between Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.....Bottom line is this.....cool stuff is expensive, and always has been......get a second job.

 

I guess that Donald is right, but I thought that just getting up at 2:30 AM to be at work at 4:00 AM was pretty darn Guttsy myself! I bet Donald is still wide awake wondering what Rosie might have said about him today! HA!!!

 

The Hummer going over a million was the coolest thing going on tonight. 100% of the proceeds going to a Military support foundation. they should have more stuff like that.

 

Ron Pratte is the man who bought the 5mill supersnake, he also bought the 4million dollar futureliner last year along with the 2.8mill bonneville concept car. he was a construction owner...probly luxary homes or big buildings..i have no idea on specifics, but recently he sold the buisiness, i think within the last few years. he has a colelction of over 200cars...

 

HOW DO they DO IT? Thats ok Build it yourself and DRIVE IT .. let us normal folks admire your WORK and craftsmenship.

Most of those cars have more money in there PAINT supplies (never mind labor) than I have ever invested in a Hobby CAR.

 

They are all sucessful at whatever they do. I think a lot just shuffel other peoples money for profit. I was told one Lawyer that put the screws to the tobacco companies has a hard time finding things to spend the money he personally made on the deal.

 

Stop keeping up with the Jones'...........look at www.daveramsey.com. No bills? it is all gravy then!
