    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.
