Dan'* right. Someone did post the video.

But, I'm confused, how did the tail lights on the first one get broken? Looks like someone took a screwdriver and poked the lenses.

That happened during the barrett jackson auction. I was watching the barrett jackson auction on speed channel when they said about the wind blowing a tent at another auction across the main highway.
