So I don't know if any of you are following Barrett Jackson at all, but I just heard from my dad who is at the Russo and Steele auction that the storms in Phoenix blew down the tent and there were 300 (priceless) cars underneath. The tent blew onto the 101 freeway and they had to shut it down. This could RUIN the future of the auction.

Should be some news and pics up in the morning.

No, luckily. They are getting more rain in three days there than they usually get in six months.

Man, that's crazy. I hope there weren't too many damages. Will the auction have to pay for that or will they sue the tent company do you think?

Russo and Steele has their own insurance policy for the cars
