    He bid $4M on the futurevan or whatever, he bid up to like 2.7M on the pontiac concept. He bought at least a couple of other cars. He seems to enjoy the attention. Who is he?

    an attention-whore? :D

    Sometimes I wonder as well ... some of the guys bidding on several high $$$ cars ... is it really just for their personal collection? That's hard to believe at times ...

    If its the guy in the cavallino hat who dropped $3.25 Mil. on the Olds concept car, he is a buyer for some new museum in Colorado.

    Yea, that guy has a broken arm right now. Maybe he broke it, or someone broke it for him *if you catch my drift* He bought the right to the first Shelby GT500 in 2007 for 648,000 dollars at B-J today.

    Man, when that Shelby is worth $30k he's going to feel silly. Kinda like those ppl who paid $100k for the first Z3's, now available at your corner gas station used car lot for $14k.

    Maybe he just has to spend $30 million in one month to inherit his uncle's fortune.

    He couldn't have anything to show for it, so these must be going to the crusher?

    For the record, I'd probably buy everything at a BJ auction too!
