Check out this eBay auction, a Camaro owned by James Hetfield of Metallica.
Why would anyone pay $70K for a clapped out third rate unoriginal car? Must be that cool 3X3 crash frame. Or maybe the missing front inner fenders. Or perhaps the wires dangling from the hole where the glovebox used to be.... :D
I really like this part: "He has spent a considerable amount of time and effort to repair, restore, and maintain this vintage Chevy." Bwaaaahahahaha........

Metallica is on the point of RIAA's assault against the online sharing of the contents of people's legally purchased CDs.
It's unrealistic to boycott all RIAA products, but I sure as hell have no problem with boycotting Metallica!

From the Description:
"Revenue from the sale of the car will be donated to music programs in schools. Winning bidder will also receive 3 (three) 8x10 photographs from the video shoot signed by James Hetfield."
I would guess the reason for the high price is that it is going to schools. I say it sounds like it's for a good cause.

The money from the car is going to a good cause, gives who ver can afford $70,000 for it a good tax write off http://www.metallica.com/camaro/67camaro_pic01_400.jpg

thanks AZDon for that, I am not boycotting them though. I just really think they suck. I have no idea what they are saying when they sing, some of their stuff has a good beat, but...all in all I think they suck. By the way whats up with the missing flip window on the drivers side. Other then that I really like the car IF it were all original, same year as the one I want. Its about $70,000 overpriced for me right now though. eek!
