I read an article about the storm and how a Tucker had been spared significant damage. It had been damaged but not so much that the previous restorer could'nt repair it.Tuxblacray2010-01-27 13:31:50

i heard that there were a lot of cars damaged and that haggerty had to fly in a lot of agents to cover it. really hurts to see a corvette damaged but seeing all them cars damaged would make me sick. hope everyone gets their cars fixed soon.

Vette saughter!  That's really sad for sure!  My son is going to college to become a mechanic and he was telling me about a '90 vette there at the school.  A Dealer donated the car and they are going to tear out the engine and tranny (he's excited about that).  The school has to crush the car when they are through with it.  My son said that this '90 vette had barely been out on the road and underneath was still new looking.  Stickers were still on the car and the only mileage on it was from moving it in and out of a garage.  Now that is vette murder!ShockedShockedAngry  I told him that and he started laughing........oh that's bad!Shocked

Sad story...Sorry..

Don't mean to change subjects, but can you guys start a separate topic on what is like to go to BJ.
And What was your impressions.  Did you bid, how much did it cost to get in, where you stay, what was the crowd like, etc, etc,? 

I have always wanted to go.  Hopefully some day I will.
Appreciate what it was like thats all.  Thanks...

Hey Steve I was just like you always watch in on TV and always wanted to go. So this year I just made it happen. They are having another one in Orange county in L.A in June and I am going to that one. If you want to go let me know.  I live in Sacramento so we can work something out. The cost to get in is about 35.00 to get on the floor to bid is 500.00. Needles to say we did not bid. We spent about 9 hours there and was not bored once. There are lots of different things to see besides cars. What made the whole day good was the guys I was with. We all like to look and talk about cars and that is what made it a good day.

Thanks David for the invite and the info.  I'm like you and always wanted to go.  Can't make it this time due to family commitments, but will keep you in mind.  Who knows?

I see this is the first year in LA.  I love to watch on TV, but have gotten the impressions a lot of people don't care for.  Various reasons I guess.  Prices too high maybe... Just a bunch of rich folks...and the list goes on.

Tongue  But Hey... I'm a car guy, and love all of it regardless.  Thanks again..Thumbs Up
