barrett jackson goodguys announce az events lone star roundup changes tx date

Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auctions, Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, and the City of Scottsdale announced revised dates for two events at WestWorld of Scottsdale this year. Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Auction will be held March 20-27, while Goodguys Spring Nationals is scheduled for April 16-18.

“We appreciate the efforts made by the City of Scottsdale to help us return to an auction that will look and feel much like our annual January event,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We’re also grateful to Goodguys for moving their March Spring Nationals at WestWorld to April. Together, we found a solution that works for everyone.”

While continuing efforts to protect the health and safety of customers, sponsors, and fans, a redesigned site layout provides room for physical distancing, and safety precautions recommended by local and state health authorities will also be adhered to. The Barrett-Jackson event will include preview days at the beginning of the week to allow enthusiasts time to view the vehicles safely and in a comfortable, physically distanced environment.

“We are pleased that we could come to a mutually beneficial agreement with everyone involved,” said Goodguys COO Andrew Ebel. “The City of Scottsdale, Barrett-Jackson and enthusiasts all win with this new schedule. We look forward to putting on a fun and safe event in April.”

Separately, the Lone Star Roundup in Austin, Texas has been rescheduled, and will now be held Labor Day weekend, September 3rd and 4th. Featuring live music, a swap meet, vendors, and traditional hot rods and customs from across the country, the Round Up takes place at the Travis County Expo Center on Friday and Saturday. BBQs, open house parties, and cruise nights all across Austin are a part of what the Round Up is known for.

With a father who owned a dealership, I literally grew up in the business. After college, I worked for GM, Nissan and Mazda, writing articles for automotive enthusiast magazines as a side gig. I discovered you could make a living selling ad space at Four Wheeler magazine, before I moved on to selling TV for the National Hot Rod Association. After that, I started Roadhouse, a marketing, advertising and PR firm dedicated to the automotive, outdoor/apparel, and entertainment industries. Through the years, I continued writing, shooting, and editing. It keep things interesting.

What's the point? Under the Biden regime's Build Back Better Great Reset, you will own nothing, AND YOU WILL LOVE IT, or else it's off to the organ harvest camps. :-/

  Didn't many say that when Obama was inaugurated? And it didn't happen, did it? You might want to review your information sources. There might be folks out there who are trying to mislead you.

  This from the guy who thought the man in charge in France during World War II was Francisco Franco. But I digress. Yes, I'm sure taking away everything from everyone will be a perfect 2024 re-election strategy for the Democrats.

  @aja8888 Nah, there will be a revolution before then, and is not going to be pretty. I never advocate violence, but the democrats keep pushing and pushing and pushing, until there’s no where else left. I’m always at my nest when my backs are against the wall. Dems, I suggest you be very weary careful what you wish for, because you dont want a piece of what’s coming.

  @4onthefloor Oh god dude how are you being "pushed"? Didn't you learn in grade school you don't get everything you want all the time, and that other kids get a turn with their ideas? God you're so edgy. I hope the mods step in here with these overt suggestions of violence.

What could this thread be other than a bunch of butthurt voters upset that their guy didn't win? I get it - it will be an apocalypse for the things you love and (apparently) your entire way of life at the hands of your sworn enemy, who may or may not actually just be your next door neighbor.

Duke Woolworth Weight 4800# as I recall.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X '19 Nissan Frontier @78000 miles has been oil changes ( eng/ diffs/ tranny/ transfer). Still on original brakes and second set of tires.
ChristianWimmer I have a 2018 Mercedes A250 with almost 80,000 km on the clock and a vintage ‘89 Mercedes 500SL R129 with almost 300,000 km.The A250 has had zero issues but the yearly servicing costs are typically expensive from this brand - as expected. Basic yearly service costs around 400 Euros whereas a more comprehensive servicing with new brake pads, spark plugs plus TÜV etc. is in the 1000+ Euro region.The 500SL servicing costs were expensive when it was serviced at a Benz dealer, but they won’t touch this classic anymore. I have it serviced by a mechanic from another Benz dealership who also owns an R129 300SL-24 and he’ll do basic maintenance on it for a mere 150 Euros. I only drive the 500SL about 2000 km a year so running costs are low although the fuel costs are insane here. The 500SL has had two previous owners with full service history. It’s been a reliable car according to the records. The roof folding mechanism needs so adjusting and oiling from time to time but that’s normal.
Theflyersfan I wonder how many people recalled these after watching EuroCrash. There's someone one street over that has a similar yellow one of these, and you can tell he loves that car. It was just a tough sell - too expensive, way too heavy, zero passenger space, limited cargo bed, but for a chunk of the population, looked awesome. This was always meant to be a one and done car. Hopefully some are still running 20 years from now so we have a "remember when?" moment with them.
Lorenzo A friend bought one of these new. Six months later he traded it in for a Chrysler PT Cruiser. He already had a 1998 Corvette, so I thought he just wanted more passenger space. It turned out someone broke into the SSR and stole $1500 of tools, without even breaking the lock. He figured nobody breaks into a PT Cruiser, but he had a custom trunk lock installed.
