    Wait until you talk to Volt owners.

      Had a Volt for 3 years. Took about 10 gallons of gas every 3-4 months. Transportation appliance but was soul sucking to drive. Took an E92 AND an E30 to make up for it.

          Meanwhile, that Factory Five Daytona Coupe race car auction was full of cringeworthy comments. Just so many non-racers that should just stay out of it. Harping on a guy who was asking the weight of it (legit racecar question) but then asking why the MSD box was in the drivers compartment. So much stupid. People getting picky about the paint scheme and even the number on the (hey moron, it’s a legit racecar, you can’t always pick your number each season).

          Then of course there’s the “van I register it and drive it on the street “ crowd who’ll probably just be shuttling it back and forth to cars and coffee..

          Actual race car auctions usually represent some of the biggest shit shows on that site. You nailed all the highlights. The car is awesome, the commentary was painful.

                    That car has been for sale forever. I think it will fetch probably 14k this time around

                      It was up on craigslist San Antonio a few months back for 17500. It will be interesting to see if it gets near that.

                          Thats right. I forgot my crystal ball.

                            Honestly don’t know how much it will sell for, 14k is good middle, it could sell for a lot more though who knows

                              Agreed. My newer experience with bat is it can be wild. Saw a decent, certainly not mint 325is go for almost 20k a few weeks back. Then some decent cars don't even crack 10k.

                                “You snooze, you lose” guy with the 318is comes to mind, But I think that car had a story or something.
