I wrapped up my auction tour at the RM Auction in downtown Monterey. This auction was more exclusive and high end than the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

More $kaybait! Fly yellow with the stripe delete. Also, it was practically brand new; the seats were still wrapped in plastic.

One of two Vector W8's for sale this week. Mecum was supposed to have a silver one, but I didn't see it.

Kinja'd!!!

It was an incredible sight. It was so low and so batshit insane

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Triple wiper action!

Stratos: the other wedge

Some paint detail on a Bentley similar to what I has seen on a custom Cadillac at the Blackhawk museum

Nart!

This Packard was amazing! The paint was perfect and it was cleaner than an operating room.

Zagato Aston. This is the second car I've seen like this, I believe there are only 99 total

M1 procar in M livery, my trip could end tomorrow and I would leave a happy person

Another unicorn to cross off the list

$kay-bait! CAcoalminer-bait! Everyone-bait

This is a GT40 Roadster Prototype. Only a handful were built, only this one remains. Estimated to go between $8-$10 million. Holy crap.

Another crown jewel of the auction: a 1948 Tucker Torpeo. I know to say it was "ahead of it's time" is sort of cliche, but this doesn't strike me as a 1948!

Kinja'd!!!

It's so ugly it's beautiful

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

6 exhaust outlets

Kinja'd!!!

A Mercer

Kinja'd!!!

A Rickenbacker with copper trim

Kinja'd!!!

Surprisingly, my first Enzo

Kinja'd!!!

This is your Enzo...

What the hell? I was there yesterday too, and I didn't see no stinking Lancia Stratos! I guess they hadn't brought it out.

Based off what i have seen of RM on Velocity, it seems the most uppity and snootiest of the auction scene.

definitely more upscale than Mecum and Russo & Steele, but surprisingly not snooty! The staff and security personnel we interacted with were all very kind and helpful. One of the security guards even hopped on the radio to help me find where the Tucker was.

I did, which makes me happy because it's more rare than the Stratos. But what ludicrous car, that Vector! The back is the wildest design element in my eyes, it's just a huge red brick. You can hardly tell where the taillights end and the body begins, it hardly seems legal

I like this a lot better than the "regular" two-tone paint job on the Veyrons.
