BaT Features

Two weeks back we hit a new record for site volume, and the milestones just keep coming as we hit the 250,000 auction mark this week.

6/26 Update: As our Rose Cup gathering approaches, we’ve still got room for more cars! Please fill out this interest form if you’d like to display your vehicle at the event.

This is Part Two of a three-part series. To read Part One, click this link.

My flight to Phoenix got in on time. Wasn’t as bad as most.

This handsome trio of Skylines comes to us from @1600veloce, and two were built and tuned by NISMO at their Omori factory.

We go back nearly two years for an encore of our very first One-Year Garage game. These episodes have been very popular since, and we’ll have a fresh one coming up soon! For now: local Graduate trivia, a two-tone requirement, remembering the names of one’s offspring, dieting to fit in your daily driver, several arguments, and automotive heart health.

6/24/26 Event Coverage:

The ImageStreetClassics team returned to Zandvoort to represent BaT for 2026, landing right back into our can’t-miss-it spot in the Historic Grand Prix paddock.

In 2023, we celebrated the 100,000th Bring a Trailer auction after nine years of selling cars.

Welcome to the BaT Question of the Week! For those unfamiliar, here are the rules: we ask an automotive-themed question, and the author of our favorite answer from the comments is awarded a $25 credit to the BaT Gear Store.

Thanks to everyone who participated! The fifth round of this year’s Michelin and BFGoodrich tire giveaway is officially a wrap.

WINNER’S ANNOUNCEMENT:

We’re back to announce the winner for our Question of the Week, where our winner will receive their laurels in the form of a $25 credit for a hat or T-shirt from the BaT Gear Store.

Much like the Emancipation Proclamation itself, the observance of Juneteenth has taken some time to catch on. We here at BaT have been observing the holiday for the past several years, but we got our work done early so as not to deprive you of this Weekly Weird and Wonderful feature.

If you’ve spent any time around this site, you’ll know that we think driving an interesting car is the best part of owning an interesting car. The more, the better.

Our rowdy group of cig-rippin’ miscreants talk about the joys and pains of this 2000 Nic Cage vehicle and the 1974 cult film on which it was loosely based. Covered: divides of opinion; wanton misuse of the term “masterpiece,” a huge budget divide, cringey car dialogue, fair pay, nighttime, “hot time,” and of course, Eleanor and her stablemates.

WINNER’S ANNOUNCEMENT:

We’re back to announce the winner for our Question of the Week, where our victor will accept a $25 credit for a hat or T-shirt from the BaT Gear Store and the acclaim of their peers.

Earlier this week, we hit a new record for volume with 1,248 live auctions on the site. That’s great for business, but a little too much for anyone trying to keep up with every single BaT listing of note.

I hate flying. Hate it. Such a hassle. Fighting traffic to the airport and finding parking. Then waiting in line to check in.

BaT events continue to be the highlights of our year! Since our first Alumni Gathering in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2018, our events have grown in both variety and scale. To date, we’ve hosted more than 50 Alumni Gatherings and Meet-Ups, along with many appearances at concours, races, and other enthusiast events around the world.

This year is flying by, but our crack Merch Team hasn’t missed a beat.

Randy hosts the  chairman of the foundation behind the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance, whose 70th running culminates  June 28. Tune in for ticket discounts and hear about a 250 GTO and a Wienermobile in the same show, the event’s volunteer organization and history, the charities that benefit, BaT evangelism, and rare cars in scary neighborhoods.

Welcome to the Weekly Weird and Wonderful, a hand-picked list of the most interesting and unusual vehicles on BaT this week. All this is but a sampling of over 1,200 auctions currently live on the site.
