Lewenthal is the type of guy that gives the hobby a black eye.
To go to an auction, act like a big swinging you-know-what pit-bull type and act like it was a gift from God that you "won" a car is ridiculous.
It is like going to Wal-Mart and running outside, falling on the ground with tears in your eyes saying "I can't believe how lucky I was to buy all of the widgets they had for just four times the posted price! I'm so emotional, those widgets will have such a good home! I'm the king of widget buyers!"
I have built some impressive collections for people over the years. It never occured to me to throw common sense out the window and throw away my clients money trying to let it be known that we were going to pay too much for any car we wanted. I guess I just don't get it?
Just my take on the whole deal. Then again, I didn't start the Discovery Channel so I am not the guy with the brains in this equation. Obviously.
