My reserve was $10k but I lowered it once bids passed 9k. I was fine with the outcome. I do think I wasted $340 getting the car photographed. The pictures were very good but that service makes more sense on more expensive cars. All in all, I can't complain. The buyer is less than an hour away in Ocean Springs, MS, so the handoff will be a breeze.

I thought for sure it would get over $10k. Auctions are tricky, but hope you’re okay with it.

Thanks, Sam. It's fine. I do need to update my signature, though. After 30 days of mourning, of course.

A very honest, thorough description, Mike. Congrats on the sale!

So we went to the downtown, once every month, car show. I never take pictures unless I see one that jumps out. Here is one, It is a 1959 Gogomobile. It was in Berlin for 90% of its life.

Not Detroit, local city we both live. I’ve never made it out to the car show before which is silly since I’ve been here 25 years.

Been looking at another car for a while, driven a few but have always gone back to one I had a few years ago, an Alfa.

Alfa announced the Giulia is going away in 2025, and production of the quadrifoglio had already ended in June, so I looked around. Found one local and drove it on Tuesday. Said I’d have take it and picked it up yesterday morning.





Unlike last time this isn’t a lease and will be a keeper.
