He can write it off allright but he won't get the full amount back genius (no offense). Still, he did that particular charity a huge favor and I'm sure it is all for a good cause.

Hey, for a person that can afford to pay that much for a car isn't too worried about getting his money back. Just my 2 cents! .

Did anypne do the fantasy bidding?

Closest I came all weekend was $2k off, and that was on the 911 Gretsky turbo.

the other ones I was like way over or way way under by like 50%.

Very hard to tell what these cars go for.

But I seen a few in the 20k-30k area that would have been fun.

Esp that '69 gto that went for $40k
