I wonder if this recession has has caused very many people to re-think their attitude on money and what they spend it on?
 
Yeah, I saw fewer people at this year's car shows but a lot at last week's gun show!

what they spend it on?
 
We had been members for over 10 years of Portland Opera, but when the price of renewing our seats went up 44% we bailed.
 
As long as our cars don't get killed in a crash, we will continue to drive them.
 
As long as we can hire help to care for the home, we will not go condo shopping.
 
We have continued to contribute to the church at the same figure though

OK, that 1950 Series 62 Cadillac coupe just hammered sold at Barrett Jackson for $37,000. Add the buyer's premium and you're at $40,700. I thought the B-J factor would bump it more. Mr. Shiftright (who predicted $40K-$42K with premium), you're UNCANNY!

Well you can't really penalize a car on value if the equipment lacking never came that way at time of manufacture.
 
For instance, you can penalize an MGTD that is right hand drive (In the USA I mean) a good 30%, because TDs were made either way, but not an MGTC, which was never made with left hand drive.
 
So the Cadillac never had p/s or AC. AC first came out for Cadillac in 1953.

I understand, but would prefer spending that amount of cash on a 53 with Air & PS.

Oh yeah, me too, good year 1953, because it also introduced 12V electrics in Cadillac, Buick and Olds.
 
 A '53 Eldo would be the prize.

I mean, the people who claim to be "experts" and do cameos on economics on various TV news shows have proven to be as equally wrong as we have been.
 
Worst than that, often they are selling something and hoping to influence the market direction, which is their motivation to do the cameo in the first place.
