[tcb] Re: Chasing Classic Cars

Well yes it's "normally" more expensive but again Lenny gets crazy prices
even for not so correct restorations as has been demonstrated by all the
flipping after the Classic over the past few years.

Ray's car is definitely nice.  I was talking to him recently and he said
"no more, I'm not doing that again" because of all the stress and work it
was to do it.  He deserved the prize.
