He was a good sport about it, though.

Hah, before I clicked on the link I thought it was some guy who accidentally auctioned his muscle car for $200. Turns out that he merely sold a raffle ticket for $200 which was an eventual winner.

You and your trickery, Melonie!

I'd get over it too, just like the guy. Can't be too mad about hindsight luck (or lack of luck), haha. Makes me wonder about the initial price of the raffle ticket though... if he made considerable profit with $200, I might've done the same, too.

That's unfortunate. They were gorgeous cars.

Shoulda been my ticket ;/ pfft.

Talk about a kicka$$ prize... Todd Hollenshead (the Doom guy, he's the one with the pony tail), must have a flotilla of these in his garage... I love how the guy in the crowd goes "He just bought the f*ckin' ticket!!"... Kojax must have thought "Oh sh!t, I just won a supercar and I'm about to get jumped..."

Good for him, the original owner seemed perfectly laid back, wonder how much the raffle tickets went for initially???

Personally, I don't think he's worth it, you need more sexiness to ride in such a whip...

They gave them away for winning various competitions and tournaments.

In that case, I'd be content with the 200$... Probably whould have have done the same thing. I'm not materialistic. I guess you have to live it to understand, some hair might have been pulled.
