What happened to cheeseburger in paradise don't forget the fries and and a cold beer to boot!! To me it's always easier to stop. But in a pinch a couple of Snickers bars are on hand. Loved the last photo No Ethanol and not a charging station in site! 😎 😎 ... View more

These automobiles are works of art! I'm lucky enough to own one 2008 roadster in in Toro red. Saddle interior Red stitching. The workmanship is amazing, attention to detail for sure! I am excited to see this car show up as appreciating. One of my favorites to drive! ... View more

Yeah bleep yourself, just another self serving person. Pull your lip over your head and swallow. Facts are Facts. Unless you were there to personally inspect these vechials. And if you were then I appreciate constructive criticism ... View more

You're kidding me Right??????? I personally inspected every one of those vehicles. Are you making this determination from a distance. Too many people make that same mistake oh that was a great deal that I saw on TV. People paid over market value for all of these except for the Military Jeep with the trailer. Are you also taking into consideration you have to add 10% on top of that 12% if you were a phone or Internet bidder!! And then pay to get it home. Along will sales tax. So on a $100,000 vehicle add 20%. Seriously do you really think these were good deals. Hagerty Writers get your head out of your butt. Are you PEOPLE on Jackson and MECUM payroll????? Be careful what you write. We are all watching and most of us are quite educated on this subject. ... View more

I was personally present for both Mecum in Glendale and Barrett in Scottsdale. Have people lost their minds!!!!! How can a person compete with this s***. Showed up at Mecum Almost got in a fist fight over a chair. I'm 65 years old this guy was 40. There were no deals. Every single car that I watched went for more than it was worth. These auction companies are eating it up. I've been a participant at Barrett for 15 years I'm not going back. They are only for the wealthy. The little guy gets Screwed! I personally helped three different bidders walk away form a vechial at Barrett-jackson to watch someone else pay way more than the car was worth!! I think I could create a reality story and show of the aftermath buying a car at auction. And the end story is not a happy ending! Good Luck and be Careful ... View more

Agreed, there is nothing like being at a live auction. Enjoyed them for the past 15 years. Purchased a number of vehicles at B J and Dana mecum house of cards. Buying at auction can be risky if you don't educate yourself. To me that's part of the fun!! So far I have made a few bucks. It's hard to say that about a hobby. Personally my Girlfriend and I came down with the Virus after attending Barrett-jackson last January. Although we can't say for sure it was the only thing we did publicly. We attended every day of the auction. I'm personally glad to see other avenues to purchase quality cars. I have used Hemming to sell with good luck! With all that being said we are off to MECUM tomorrow in Glendale. And Barrett-jackson next week. HAVE MASK WILL TRAVEL. Every One be safe, but most of all enjoy your LIFE! And enjoy what car floats your boat. ... View more

There seems to be and the age difference between the writer and myself. Born in 1957. There was always a carburetor that could get better fuel mileage. These issues are not driven by car manufacturers. They are driven by government. And government has been a problem in car manufacturing for years. In my eyes the car manufacturing has come up with some very cool cars in recent years. I happen to own a few of those. For instance 2019 Hellcat Redeye scare the s*** out of you. The public is driving what they want to drive. The recent Jeep Grand Wagoneer if you can afford it. I plan to purchase one in a hybrid. Take a chance with the industry. Don't beat them up. Buy what you can afford and enjoy it. ... View more

Jack makes some sense. But not for all of us. The ladders and gates go for all parts of our life. Not just car Enthusiasm. I support young people in hunting and shooting. I lend my guns and property and sometimes give guns to them because they can't afford them. It's important to me to keep them hunting and enjoying what I enjoyed all my life. I treat young people the same way with classic car collecting.Your point is well taken. But don't count me in on your sinking ship! I applaud young people who get involved in whatever they love to do. Although the constant looking at their phone has a tendency to bother me. If I see a young person involved in anything other than that I support them to the Moon and back. ... View more

Sorry for the misspelled names in my earlier post. McKeel Hagerty & Brandan Gillogly In my frustration to this article I didn't spell check there names. For that I apologize!! For everything else I posted this article deeply disturbs Me!!! To all of you at Hagerty stick to what best insurance not advertising. Cheers ... View more

I agree with 1933ford. Brandon must be on Mecum's payroll. These values are extremely over inflated. Is Hagerty in the insurance business or the advertising business for Mecum? I insure 12 classic cars with Hagerty. Maybe it's time to look elsewhere. Is anyone approving these articles that Brandon is writing? Where is McKeal Hagerty?? Completely disgusted!!! Hagerty should not be publishing Mecum's over-inflated, estimated values. Shame on Hagerty. ... View more

Thank You Larry; I'm glad you don't have the mindset that our latest governor has. People need to have things to look forward to. Take that away and there will be trouble in the streets!!!   ... View more
