>>>The BS add-on parts are a LOT more than that.   Heck, the wheels and 
tires alone are probably more than $5K.   There is a lot of stuff going on 
underneath this car--radical suspension modifications, monster brakes, killer 
engine, etc. etc.

All that said, I'm convinced that these cars are the Beanie Babies of the 
automotive world.   Remember how nutso people got when those stupid things 
first came out?   People were hoarding them like they were precious, and 
valuable.   The craze passed and now they're worthless.

The time is coming for these cars--in fact I'm very surprised it's not 
already here.   It wouldn't even surprise me if the high bidder was the existing 
owner of the car, trying to inflate its value somehow....

Mike (I would pay more for a replica of the car from the original 
movie--looking like it did at the END of the movie!)
