I loved it when RoboSaurus was being auctioned. The owner was telling a story about Dale Sr. taking a ride and the driver making Dale say "Knock that shit off, i've got a race today." I was just waiting for Bob Varsha to say sorry for the language.

That was rediculous. What the hell do you do with that? $600k for a welded sculpture of scrap metal that has a bunch of lights, and moves around and shoots fire.

"So honey, how was the auction? Did you get anything? hehe"

"Actually I bought a $600k dollar hunk of metal that looks like a dinosaur"

we could also use it to go get random objects we throw over the wall in your backyard, better than hurting our little feet

 

[IDAFC21]

we COULD. but it wouldnt be a whole lotta fun

 

[CamaroSS]

well we could always make it eat someone while its over there

Yeah, Craig Jackson, my bad, lol.

I'm waiting to see how long it takes to get some "color" in the auction.
Right now it's all 50 year old white guys and the occasional Middle Eastern that'll bid on a Ferrari.

Maybe it 10-20 years they'll start offering lowriders, jdm cars, whatever cars gangsta rappers like...etc etc. Now THAT will be fun to watch.

I"m pretty sure you could make some good money going around to the local tracks and events during the summer with Robosaurus. Why else was it touring around the world for 17+ years? You got the uneducated hick market who thinks Toyota is a Star Wars character pretty much covered.

I bet all the other minorities are smart enough not to get involved with B-J. If i ever got rich i would have to have a couple low riders with hydraulics in my collection. I think they are pure art and should be recognized no differently then the likes of Pininfarina or the other Turin design houses that make concepts outta american production cars.

as long as it stays in scottsdale, old rich white men is all they're gonna pull in
