Mecum vs. Barrett- Jackson Auctions on TV

Got to love the Muscle Car Auctions on TV. I mean talk about hundreds and hundreds of some of the finest USA Factory Hot Rods ever built coming right into your living room in HD. It's a blast ! It used to be that the Barrett-Jackson Auctions had more of the high quality cars. Not so anymore. Seems to me that Mecum has stepped up it's game and their consignments to at least equal that of BJ. Having said that, there are a couple of issues that annoy the hell out of me when watching a Mecum Auction. First, the Mecum boss man screaming in that awful scratchy voice of his and both he and his assistants getting a little too up close and personal with the buyers and the sellers. Talk about in your face ! How about showing a little class guys ? And, the second thing that bothers me is the poor camera work and narratives by the Mecum crew. For crying out loud Mecum, show us a complete side view of the cars ! Hold the camera still for more than three seconds please. Let us out here in TV land soak up the awesomeness (my new word) of these USA Factory Hot Rods. And, if you're going to have "so called" experts describing the cars to us, how about being accurate and actually know something about them. Too much fluff ! We want the facts. Well, like I said, Mecum has pretty much caught up with Barrett-Jackson as far as the cars are concerned, but still has a ways to go to catch up with the quality of their TV presentations. Hey guys and gals, what do you think ? mr mac

Oh yeah ! So what's a musclecar ? Oh really now !

Ok, so you think that you know what a musclecar is. No, in fact you're certain that you know what the definition of a musclecar is. So, tell me and my fellow enthusiasts what your definition is. We want to know. I've got my thoughts, let's discuss it. More to come, much more to come. Stay tuned ! mr mac
