| Barrett Jackson 2015
Personally one of my favourite events of the year to watch, and this year should be no exception. This year some of the famous car collector Ron Pratte's collection will be up for grabs, some of them expecting to grab huge money. Pumped for this Saturday to see what goes down.

No idea why he decided to sell everything, rumours he might be sick but who knows.
I'm pumped to see the Future liner go up for sale again, and he donated it to the armed forces fund so I'm sure it'll get huge money because 'Murcia. The original Shelby Cobra is up for sale again too, I remember watching it live when he bought it for 5 mill

I like watching earlier in the week, when the drivers/non-specialty cars go on the block. You actually see some good deals on cool cars, that regular folks can afford.

From a televised perspective, I gave up on BJ a long time ago when I felt it became more about the show / entertainment value rather than what's on stage. Coupled with seeing one percenter types paying stupid money for something that'll just sit and never experience 'life' I just stopped watching.
But there are good deals though, just not shown since it would make for boring TV. Either way, I'd love to visit the Scottsdale grounds one day.

If I was going to look for a decent priced euro or italian supercar....barrett jackson is where I'd go, usually can find some pretty sick deals since no one's there to buy them
