In Chicago. Honestly, the prices these cars are going for are cheaper than what the Houston crowd was paying.

I remember watching the auction for my first time on the live stream when they came to Houston some time back. Cars flying off cheaper than what they went for here?!?!?!? holy crap!

I went the time before last at Reliant. There was a 1993 F150 single cab 4x4 with a 5.0 under the hood. Looked nice. I guessed it would go for $8-12K MAX.

$35k final bid. That was the theme du jour.

The Astros ruined baseball season for me this year. And probably next year. Possibly the year after that as well.

I'll be watching the 2016 season, though.

You'd be shocked at the amount of disposable cash some people have down here. And from the people you would least expect to have it.

The prices are going up a little bit now, but these are the nicer cars. They had '65 Mustangs going for $10k earlier.

Oil royalties, not shocked. But it is probably more then that.

There are guys who went to work at the chemical plants right out of high school and retire at 65 that have $5MM in their 401Ks. It's unreal.
