Prejudice can save lots of time, because you can form an opinion without any facts.

Picked this off Facebook.

Phoenix finished fifth on a list of "Most Vain Cities." That could have something to do with the presence of Scottsdale, aka Silicone Valley.
That's one of the striking things about the Barrett-Jackson auction compared to the others going on at the same time. For many it's a place to see and be seen. Guys with egos like being seen on national TV bidding on expensive cars. Walking around the grounds of the auction it's apparent that some women are there shopping too, just not for cars. No woman goes to a car auction dressed like that if she's there for the vintage automobiles.

I'm irritated by the fact my parts shipped from Wisconsin on the 5th still haven't arrived. I wish they hadn't used Parcel Post since the govt.'s reputation for doing almost everything is less than stellar. Even with the extra load due to Christmas it should have been here by now. I have no reason to think they didn't ship it when/how they said, but at what point do I start making some serious noise? I've asked them for a tracking number but not rec'd one.

Re. the Facebook posts with a picture that asks "Can you see/find it?"
No I cannot. But it's OK because I didn't try. Please don't take it personally but my life is quite complete without finding the hidden ______ in a 1.5" square picture on my laptop screen. I'm thrilled for you, though. Honestly, I am.

This video, on the other hand, is excellent! My friend Sue sent it to me.
Hanukkah begins on the 18th but this will help you prepare.

OK, this is the real problem of the day. Of the month. Perhaps of this year and next.
Because I'm planning on attending, I searched the early listing of cars that will be sold at Barrett-Jackson next month. And I found...
THIS.
It is our car! 
Ours was all white with a different (tan) interior, but it was a Dynamic 88, it was a 2-door hardtop and it had this engine. It didn't have AC, or any other extras. No power steering (I added it), no power windows, no radio, no nuthin'. But that car is so incredibly gorgeous it doesn't need anything except just to sit there and look awesome.
The listing doesn't show mileage and it clearly hasn't been restored - or even cleaned up well. Which means it will be auctioned early and for a relatively low figure. And I know what that car can be with just a little elbow grease.
I WANT THAT CAR!
I looked at what B-J requires in order to get a bidder's paddle and it's ridiculous, especially for a car that will go for relatively low dollars, as I suspect this one will.
Pam asked where we'd put it. It wouldn't fit in the garage unless I took out the workbench and pulled it up all the way up to the wall. So I'd take out the workbench and pull it up all the way to the wall. Duh!

And I could store the VW in the trunk.
Please join me in praying for a way to get this car.
