Nick, you're trying to be reasonable and fair. There's simply no place for that on the interwebs!

PS I agree with you...

come to think of it, i recall a 2005 Mustang factory grand-am race car as raced by Patrick Dempsey sold at Barrett-Jackson for twice what it was worth to a wealthy women in the crowd.

Just bonkers, but alas it fetched the cash.

Paul Newmans best line at Daytona...

Walks into Mens Urinal in driving suit...takes a little time to get going so to speak while young pro driver zips in and out so to speak...as young driver leaves urinal...
Paul.."Show off!" LOL
That's great to hear. I'm sure he's a great guy and sounds like pretty appreciative of the good fortunes in life that he's received. A welcomed thing to hear when compared to the river full of entitlement that many of Hollywoods elitists demand. And trust me, living in the shadows of "Hollywood" I've seen many that would make your head spin.

100% agree!

Imagine how much of a premium one of Paul Walkers cars would sell for if it were signed and verified that he previously owned it. Even if Patrick Dempsey goes on to live a long and healthy life (which hopefully he does!), I'd imagine because of his passion for cars, pedigree as a racer and his visibility as an established actor, his cars will always command a premium over an equally spec'd car.

Congrats to the OP on the unexpected surprise!

Just look at the Jon Voight car... lol.
HAHAHAHA that was the best response ever!

Yeah, if this is Lisa's "old" GT3, we believe it's Dempsey's, as he signed her GT3RS as well.

This is Lisa's car, I picked it up when she traded it in for the GO.

That's a lovely (not) and provocative first post!

Btw, welcome to the forum and chill.

Fyi, the whole purpose of a thread IS to elicit comments. Otherwise all threads would have one post....
