I wonder if it'll even sell. The starting price is $1,500 above the original retail price and really other than they stuck Steve McQueens's name on it, there really isn't anything special about it.

Yep, kinda what I've always thought about this "special edition" model too.

I wonder if that has to do with there being 0 bids? I'll autograph my truck, making it one of a kind, if someone will give me $100K for it.

It won't sell for anywhere near that. Remember way back a guy was trying to sell a TBA signed by Billy Joel.

Yeah Ron. Good point.
But then again, I suppose one COULD make the argument that on the "Coolness Scale", anything even REMOTELY associated with McQueen would rank much higher on that scale than anything associated with the "Piano Man", RIGHT?!
(...well, I suppose that IS unless the "thing" was made by Yamaha's OTHER production facility...NAMELY a freakin' PIANO!!!)

Eeh! While I always thought she was "cute", I've come to the conclusion that THAT broad is just plain NUTS!
(...ESPECAILLY considerin' all the freakin' marriages she's gone through and their often "less than amicable" endings)
