Have an Extra $1.5 Million Laying Around?

Courtesy of the great site Last Angry Fan.com:

I get that NASCAR fans love their favorite drivers to the point of near obsession, but even most die-hards would have to say that this eBay auction for the hearse that transported Dale Earnhardt to his final resting place is a bit too much.

Or maybe they won’t.  I’m sure there’s more than a couple fans of “The Intimidator” out there who would kill to get their greasy hands on this truly unique piece of Dale Earnhardt memorabilia, despite it’s hefty $1.5 million price tag.  That’s just slightly more than it’s sale price of $8,800, which is what former owner Bill McKeithan sold it for on Craigslist just a few weeks ago.

From eBay…

Rare: 1996 Lincoln Town Car Hearse

Great NASCAR history.

This Hearse was the last ride of Dale Earnhardt SR.

On Feb. 21, 2001 this hearse took Mr. Earnhardt from a Huntersville , North Carolina funeral home to his final resting place

This 100% verifiable to qualified buyers

Serious inquiries only.

Wait—if you’re considering bidding $1.5 million for a car that once transported a famous dead NASCAR legend, isn’t the phrase “Serious inquiries only” fairly obvious?

Ahh, NASCAR Fans...

NASCAR fans probably enjoy the worst stereotypes of any other professional sports fans.  And if they are as half as bad as this lady, then their negative rap is well-deserved.

A woman rushing home to watch this past weekend's NASCAR race crashed her Chevy Blazer into a local store.  Police say the woman attempted to step on the brake, but hit the gas instead and crashed into a storage room of a local store near West Penn Township, Pennsylvania.  Luckily no one was injured, and the woman learned a valuable lesson that bump-drafting is only legal on the track.
