So, is anyone else addicted to this? I could watch each 5 hour block every night. And I’ll still tune in to the “best of” episodes when it isn’t live. I don’t know what it is about it, but I just love seeing the cars going across the stage and learning about what makes one worth $20k and another worth $200K.

I keep catching myself thinking “I could afford that” but am not really ready to pay for the upkeep for a '68 Jag.

I guess I’m just addicted to “cool car porn.”

I watch on occasion. Brings back memories of attending general merchandise auctions with Dad when I was very little.
