Summary: <br> Contributor and friend BJ Killeen – Automotive Journalist and Voice of Reason, is back for a quick pit stop. BJ attended the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas and said it had fewer cars than usual. She noticed that none of the vehicles went for over a million dollars, which is outside the norm. A 2019 Ford GT lightweight model sold for 990k along with a Ferrari F90 for 594k. Collectively they did well. BJ shifts gears, throws in a bit of comedy, and shares how Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have agreed to a cage fight.
