I've never had a taste for auctions. I've seen poeple get worked up into a chute and pay twice as much as they should have for something the did not need just because of the excitment of the "show" and the thought that an auction is a place of great deals.

The hobby for me is a way to focus on something that can be picked up and put down and any moment without consequence. On top of that, my truck does not talk back, give me grief, get moody, tell me what to do, get uspet, demand deadlines, or distress if I show up late...I love my projects! A full weekend of progress on the tailgate, for example, gives me more relaxing pleasure than anybody gets out of sitting on the couch, doing nothing all weekend.

That's the state of my "hobby". When I am done with a vehicle, it's mine and i drive it when I want like it's my new car. When it's all over for me (in the end), I hope that some friend or relative can enjoy it, or sell it, or whatever...I won't be concerned what it brings. I just hope the gasoline last until I'm done...can you imagine what the value of our cars would do if gas became obsolete?
