If your information is correct, then Tekebird's comment that the Eagle would go for a fraction of the Flx, proved to be wrong... Imagine that.

Another reason for Gov intervention on behalf of busnts, we are constantly discriminated against!!!  I have trouble with insurance, they do not want to register our vehicles, parks do not want us to stay at them. Now they are ashamed to show us on TV and want to pretend we do not exist.  We should take our plight to the ALCU, maybe even get Sharpton involved. Perhaps we could form a PAC and buy a couple politicians?    ;D  Jim

I'm afraid a PAC with the word "NUTS" in the title might not have much influence.

kyle has it right.  They's don'ts come $cheap$!  How much would it cost anyway to buy a Sinister or Reprehensible?.....I mean Senator or Representative?  He he he. 

Have some rich friends who go to Barrett Jackson about every 2 years.  They tell me EVERYTHING, in their opinions, goes for about $TWICE$ its worth.  :) :) :)

Maybe all the busnuts in the land should do like the farmers did some years ago with their tractors and go to Washington and pull up on the front lawn of the capitol and protest. As for me I probably will not make that one. I do not think their tractors had license tags on them. As I remember it there was a huge snow storm that week and the tractors were the only things that could get around.

Speed Tv did televise the auction of the Eagle.  The auctioneer did seem like he was in a big hurry and the auction went pretty quick.  On many cars the auctioneer spends a lot more time and gets a lot more money that way.

I believe the Flex came out of Florida, perhaps the Ocala area.  The reason I said that, Friday in Gainesville, Florida, I meet a new bus owner that said if just bought his MCI-9 from a friend that had a Flex at foe mention auction.  This coach he had was beautiful.  Don said the bus had been leased by Regan and Bush Sr, during there campains for President.  He was on his way to North Florida to send there first night in it.

I've just sent Don the information on the board here.  Hope he will show up.

Man I really wanted to see the ol flex on the tube ,and counted the docket #'s down ,didn't see it probably throws their commercials in when ever they want to that sucked.Seems the more I love Bus's the more I hate Tv.
