It did. The bid was already a ridiculous enough $119,xxx (IIRC) when I followed the link the other day. A doubling of that was definitely worth mentioning again.

Yes. My guess this morning (when it was still at 124) was that it would hit 150K and that reserve would not be met.

I was probably right about the reserve, but holy fuck I did not expect 250.

Color was amazing when it was new. Not so much any more on that particular example. It's hard to tell just how bad it is because of the lighting, and the surfaces being reflected. Can some touch up on the chips and a thorough paint correction bring it back? Or does it need a respray?

I do love the purple cars.

I've always wanted to know how the steering wheel loses the roundel? Can't you replace it? Looks terrible without it...

It's still in line with your initial prediction.
