Of course I'm talking about auctions. Those are the only prices that are made public. There might be cars that are sold privately for more, but I have no way to verify it.
And I don't think that you can sell a car today for an eight-figure price. Remember that the Royale record holder mentioned by me was sold during the late 80s madness on the market. The situation is of course better now than in the 90s, but still cars are sold for less than in the 80s.

OK... I can understand paying such a price for a car... Hardly, but I can... But for a piece of wood with a few strings

It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
