    2009 CNN 18 Read All About It! Barrett Jackson The world waits patiently for January 2010 just to see if they can pull it off. We watch every episode of Barrett Jackson’s on Speed! and being in the catbird seat is so special, I thought our CCN readers would get a kick out of this awesome photograph. Mark Gellmen & Steve Davis in the Cat Bird Seats My Opinion by Tony Monopoli: Can I get it right again? CCN attended the 2008 BJ Auctions in West Palm Beach, FL, Las Vegas, NV and 2009 Scottsdale, AZ. We also attended the SEMA show in Las Vegas and the Hot Rod & Restoration Trade Show in Indianapolis, IN, along with the Greenwich Concours d’ Elegance in CT. Watch the IAAA Banner at Auto-Appraiser.com for ‘2010 Events Classic Car News Page 2 © AVM 2009 MY OPINION by Tony Monopoli All eyes are looking toward West World in Scottsdale, AZ. Will they cry from joy or sadness? Everyone in the world watches Speed Live to see what will happen, whether they expect failure or success. The financial world is still upside down, homes are worth a whole lot less, portfolios are very thin and our 401k has been cut to shreds. Will they buy or cry? Logically put, why not? Cars will be cheaper, right? Money is cheaper, if you can get your hands on it? What will they do? They bought for less at West Palm Beach. They bought for less at Las Vegas right? So here we go, but please don’t throw any shoes at me! I said they would buy for less, cheaper cars that is, but the good ones will still bring fair money.
