New Auction Site

[pedro2u]

Cross posting from the post I just did on E90post:

I know I love to watch the great car auctions on BringaTrailer and now there's another new site to watch.

It was just launched on Monday by Doug DeMuro who already has a great YouTube channel where he reviews our favorite exotic and pristine cars

The new site is https://carsandbids.com/

And here's his YouTube intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=BQmJ7jz_WuQ.

I'm not affiliated in any way, but for those of us who just love to stalk cars, it looks like another great option and I look forward to the entertainment

I think Doug DeMuro is absolutely the most annoying car persona on YouTube. I’ll check it out though haha

maybe we just need him to review our ZHP's? Seems like a great review to this 3.5M subscribers would increase our ZHP values!

[pedro2u]

In fact, looks like he's living in San Diego. Any pristine car SoCal volunteers to represent the breed?

William has a (mostly) stock manual vert, original owner, that would be a good one. But that's 2 hours away. Hey JP, you sell your Imola yet?

I enjoy Doug Demuro for the most part. I'm not sure his new car auction website fills a void that is there, but hey, more power to him.

I would enjoy seeing him review a ZHP, but I have a feeling he would be underwhelmed by his experience. Our cars don't have a lot of power and is relatively spartan in terms of creature comforts.

I just downloaded from Doug's site (dougdemuro.com) his Doug Score history. (I put it into an excel file and added filters but apparently we can't upload a spread sheet). So I attached Doug's original in PDF. Interesting though, using the excel filters, he's done quite a few BMW's (26)..... 2nd only to Mercedes (34).

Our ZHP's may be worthy.....

I intend to reach out to him through his site to see if there's any interest. Maybe a representative sample of stock sedan/coupe/vert owners in SoCal could get together with him and represent us? I'll offer him New Hampshire.... but seems unlikely that I'd be convenient as So Cal

Stay tuned

I’d be willing to offer up Seattle

Sad but true. Here's his sorted BMW rankings

Interesting. This actually pans out how I expected. Since scores like this are inherently subjective, especially the "styling" and "cool factor" categories which are basically in the eyes of the beholder. For me, when you see the "cool factor" of the X7 is the same as the E46 M3, I think Doug and I differ on what qualifies as "cool."

This. Right here.

Great. Another auction site to stalk. I'm surprised my employer has not blocked BaT's domain yet.

The most interesting car up for auction has graced the carsandbids site.

The one of a kind prototype from Ferrari (https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3OA5vLjY/1986-pontiac-fiero)

Lol, I know of that car but before clicking that link I thought it was the Testarossa (?) that was used as a test bed for the upcoming Enzo, and got really excited for a sec

[fredo]

Oh, wow. I had no clue we are talking about a 1986 Pontiac Fiero with Ferrari aspirations.

If you have an hour to spare for entertainment, they made a video about their journey of entering the car into The Quail, which is a very high-end car show. It's one of the videos linked in the auction.

I respect Doug Demuro as much as I respect a June Bug.

Loud, big, ever-present, clueless, and disgusting.

A nice touring sold today on Cars and Bids for $7400 : 2003 / AW on tan / sports package / AT / ZHP wheels / 129k miles.

I saw that. Seems to be in good condition, and I think a pretty fair price!

I'm dying for a wagon, and I might have settled for the 2.5L, but the auto meant I'd have to do a transmission swap which means I might as well find a ZHP engine and then it's a whole rabbit hole. I struggle to get mild maintenance done on my car, no way I'm getting a swap done anytime soon hah.
