Looking at a 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible now (gotta love the fins!!). Sold for $140,000.
Yah, that 1970 Porsche 917K, Steve McQueen's "Hero" car from Le Mans, will go for BIG BUCKS!!!The other thing, @MinnieM123 , it looks like they’re saving the big guns for next week, specifically Saturday.
This is definitely one big auction, then…!!!

Definitely tuning in next Saturday for that puppy . . .
Gotta go in a few minutes here -- dinner and all. Enjoy the rest of the auction today.
My brother in law went the cherry red Corvette route.Back in the mid 80’s, I worked with a guy that rode a bike. He had the riding leathers, and all.
After the 3rd time of having to lay it down, because someone cut him off, didn’t see him, etc., he sold it.
Funny thing is, he then found a great deal on a ‘59 Caddie that he drove the rest of the time I knew him…!!!!!
The pic below is pretty much its twin…!!!

Come on Minnie. I mean how long can it take make a slit in the plastic to vent and throw it in the microwave. From nothing to a full meal in less than 8 minutes.Yah, that 1970 Porsche 917K, Steve McQueen's "Hero" car from Le Mans, will go for BIG BUCKS!!!

You forgot to add in the time involved with a visit from the first responders
Yes! Totally agree!
True dat.
Piece of advice...don't ever offer to be the one who accepts all the photos and puts together slideshow for memorial service.
It leads to judginess when the "birth family" and the "married into family" (that's the best way I can think to describe them, I'm open to better definitions) seem to be having a contest as to who can have the most photos featuring their side.
I'm going to have to exercise all my self-control to not get into it with my SIL tomorrow. She sent "13 additional photos" at 11 pm the night before the wake. Most of them were just bad photos (pic of the deceased with his cousin at her middle child's communion, and the cousin looks like he has a lazy eye--that guy's going to attend the wake, I'm not going to include a pic of him looking terrible).
There were already 100 photos in the slideshow, I didn't need any more. Not at nearly bedtime, before what will be a very stressful day for my beloved. But she had to make sure that each of her three children were represented!!
OK, rant over. Thanks for listening.
