Is 4000 a lot? Well, it depends. If you only have 12 days to auction off 4000 cars–then yeah, that’s a lot.

And sort of related, earlier this week I heard from a reader: Why don't you write about the Chrysler Crossfire.

I saw one at Mecum. I crossed the street in front of it. Odd coincidence?

Had a gorgeous silver blue 04 Auto last year. One lady owner with 17k miles. Sold it with 22k... Great driver, great handling and attracts a lot of attention and compliments... Sold it and bought an e30 and e46 5 sp convertibles... They're both gone and now have a 99 m3 convertible along with my three other cars... I see mecum is selling a 63 s22 comet.. Just got one last September exactly like my first car at 17...

So next year will be 20 years since the Crossfire's first model year.
