...completely cut away from 95% of the bidding/auction of a '69 COPO Camaro for a tour of the "Ladies Lounge" at B-J? Come on!! You're killing me!

I've been following the Speed streaming on my laptop. You get to see every car with bidding...The COPO Camaro did $105,000.

The TV coverage sucks IMHO. They totally skip over a corvette barn find... then when the 69 pace car with 30k miles crossed the block, they don't even open the hood, nor the trunk, nor show the interior, yet they ZOOM IN on the Indy 500 brochure on the trunk and blab about how great that is. Are you kidding me!

The bidding had ended on the COPO before they went to the Ladies Lounge. Did you all see the driver of the COPO trying to adjust the rearview mirror and the mirror kept dropping. I guess issues like that are why it only sold for $105k.

The coverage is imbecilic. It's as if the whole thing was created by and for, people with attention deficit disorder. They can't remain on one topic for more than 30 seconds before stampeding into something else, usually non-auto related.

The fake, staged &quot;debates&quot; are beyond stupid. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

And that &quot;April&quot; girl's hairdo- jeez lady, make up your mnd: did you want blonde or brunette? Did you run out of money midway through your salon visit?

The whole damn thng is annoying.

Hi Gents, I was on stage for the COPO because a friend's Vette was right behind it. They rushed that car off stage very quickly. Bidding went to $100k rather quickly and then ended abruptly at $105k. Lots of room left on that car.

My thoughts exactly. I said that to my wife last night. I can't believe they found yet another way to ruin the auction coverage. I don't know who they're trying to reach, but it's not car guys. I'm looking forward to the Mecum auction, more than ever.

I now have to have my laptop in front of me, with the sound down on the tv, and every now and then, I look over at the tv, and see if they're actually showing a car on the block.

I could do with out April. Not sure why she's there. Not much for eye candy. If they wanted implants, find someone that looks respectable! Now the girls on stage.....
I can't hardly watch with all the commercials. Going to Mecum next week and i do enjoy it

Most Copo camaros suffer because of lack of factory paperwork.

And all those erectile dysfunction commercials! Gee, you wonder why i wont sit there watching with my kids when Speed Channel is blasting those stupid things every time they go to break.

What? No feminine hygene commercials? Where's the equal time. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

With their choice of certain commercial sponsors, it's like they are accusing all those big dollar guys at Barrett Jackson of havng to compensate for their reduced power &quot;under the hood&quot;, if you know what I mean. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Hmmmmm, I wonder why they keep showing a Camaro in that commercial. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif
