This was a very vague reference to an article I read in the last few
days... apparently, some forward thinking person offered "their soul" on
eBay, and eBay wound up cancelling the auction as it violated policy -
apparently the seller could not guarantee the service.
Strange times we live in, for sure.

I think folks should spend umpteen dollars for _JUNK_, because I'd love
to be a concours judge for a car that had non-functioning lights.
;-)
It would make those "gas station conversations" with "concours experts"
just that much more enjoyable. You see, one of my buddies from CT ranked
the judging for the early TR6's in Portland, ME about the class winner...
and I was the very judge that this person was criticizing. Talk about
rectal-cranial inversions. Anyway - the general point was related to the
max. points off for any one item... and even though the underhood details
were not exactly correct, they weren't exactly wrong...
The point is - if a concours car has non-functioning headlights, then
they deserve max. points off regardless of whether they are the correct
bulbs. Sheesh.
Like I've alluded before: some folks have too much money.
Now, if we can only hook the folks with cash surpluses up with guys on the
FOT list that have "projects" in "various states"... now we're on to
something!
Sorry for the diversion.
