From the LETTERS section in the February 19, 2007 issue of AutoWeek:

When the Barrett-Jackson auction was first televised, it was like an automotive This Old House: an interesting assortment of old cars lovingly restored. Now it is an automotive Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Who wants to sit around watching two guys bid a Shelby GT350 to $250,000? Like we should cheer as these investors push the cost of all collector cars through the roof.
