Found this little thing and couldn’t help but try and fit. It’s super small. Anyone else go to the auction?

I watched a bit, including when that Honda went across. There was some interesting stuff. I’m kind of glad it had more “normal” cars than uber-dollar stuff.

Yeah, Denver isn’t a huge money market for cars just yet I guess. I was hoping for some crazy bidding but everyone seemed more interested in trying to get a good deal.

Agreed, very small cars.

that seems to be the general conundrum when I watch auctions on tv car shows. they want $100,000 for their build, but everyone just wants a deal.

Exactly. I’m also talking about the non-custom-build cars. Those are always a crapshoot (and almost never work out for the builder) but this weekend had a crazy number of cars that should’ve either brought way more or sold (so cheap buyers and cheap sellers).

I just hope that they don’t stop coming to Denver - I love having an auction so close to home and want it to come back next year.

Lol. I was blown away by the 10" rims. Yes. 1-0-inch rims.

Everything about these cars is tiny. I chuckled a little when I popped the hood and saw that little 600 engine sitting in there.
