:D :o 8-) :P By god this ol'boy sure enjoys them car/bike/atv toys. BJ auctions are the holy grail in our house and Reno shows are new and MUST go. Work warned my son that he'll lose his job going to party with me in Reno but he tuned into the F'M' station and taking a letter of credit to buy in for a bidders card. Hahahahaha ya never know as my LOUSY I bonds from 2009 went to 0%--yes they kept my money for FREE for the past 6 months...summabs-John

FANTASTIC TIME WAS HAD BY ALL--within 5 minutes of arrival in Reno we were on the street looking at Hot August night cars for over 6 hours and Barrett Jackson next day for 7. OOOO my aching back/feet but omg how great a show. Will try to edit/post pics but have 600+ to see first. One more down on bucket list as lived in Reno for years but BJ auction just tv, in person MUCH more fun as HUGE event-John
