Default BAT Auction Thread

If you are new to this “game” read this first! This post contains the active auction below. The goal is to see how long we can keep this going. Rules:

-Choose any 997 BAT Auction and post a link

-Winner gets to find the next auction, so if you are participating be sure to check back if you win (this is the keeping it going part)

-If the winner fails to choose 2 days after the win it is fair game for anyone to post an auction.

-one auction at a time

-to be eligible guesses must be in 48hr prior to end of the auction

-guess is WITHOUT fees

-One guess on a given car, no editing your guess

-If there is a tie and one person has gone over the sale amount the winner is the person who DID NOT go over. If both go over it remains a tie and both get a win.

I am definitely not intending to step on your toes so please don’t take it that way. While I agree it would make sense to keep it 997, I am afraid that could get boring (how many 997s can we really look at). The idea with opening it up was to keep it interesting, that said if you feel strongly we can keep it 997. Whatever we do we should keep it here, because I think it is our group participating that will keep it fun

I am good with whatever, even if GroovZ wants to start another since he started the first. I just thought it would be neat and didn’t feel the need to wait for someone else to do it.

No prob - I really appreciate you getting this done. All good and whatever the mass decides on or votes on is cool w/me - I just figured keeping it 997 related makes more sense since those are the models associated with this forum.
But I'm game for whatever works best - And bgoetz you take the wheel on this since you got er done yesterday

**I also wanted to add that my initial intent to do the BAT auction guessing game was to deflect all the negative discussions regarding these models.
The 997 is a great model and we all must realize only 1-2% of owners have any issues with these cars which is much less of a % than many of the previous Porsche models made.
The negative topics seem to be magnified in this forum and everyone needs to realize that a higher % of owners with problematic 997's post in these forums just like any other car forum.

Ok so what does everyone think? We need to keep it here because it is the group that makes it fun. I guess vote for any German or occasional Italian or vote to keep it 997 focused. Those are the two choices. First to 3 votes is what we go with, except this time I don’t count as a vote . I will count Groove as a vote for 997 specific

Agree, keep it 997 and here. If it goes to OT, then non renny members are out, since they cannot access that forum.
