Top Ten Luxury Cars From Barrett-Jackson 2009

Click above to see our top ten luxury cars from Barrett-Jackson 2009

The Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction may be best known for the many muscle cars that fill the tents in Scottsdale, AZ, but those in attendance are also welcome to bid on any number of other fine automobiles that pass through the auction block. We found ourselves among the bidders all day on Friday and Saturday, taking pictures and keeping track of each sale so we could compile interesting lists of the various vehicles that were scheduled to change hands, including quite a few beautiful luxury cars. From one-off Buicks to hand-built Rolls Royces, here are a few of our favorites. Note: This list is numbered chronologically in the order they were auctioned.

Waterkeeper Alliance, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Charity of the Day

Today, for the fifth day in our month-long exploration of charitable organizations worthy of your time and money, we are talking about water. Waterkeeper Alliance is an organization that champions clean water and strong communities in a rather unique way, by giving each body of water its own champion. Each Waterkeeper program is headed by a full-time Waterkeeper who is the the public advocate for that body of water. The Waterkeeper is essentially the guardian of the particular watershed and the people who rely on its services. The Waterkeeper Alliance is a coalition of more than 160 local Waterkeepers who patrol and protect their local waterbody, standing up to polluters and guaranteeing everyone's right to clean water. One of the ways to help the Waterkeepers is to become an eAdvocate and sign up for their action alerts.

This week you can also splurge for this good cause. This year,Waterkeeper Alliance has partnered with charitybuzz for an online auction which ends on Dec 7, 2007 which is part of the 16th Annual Deer Valley Celebrity Ski fest. The top lot for the online auction is the Lexus LS 600h L which has a 430+ horsepower V8 full-hybrid engine. Other auction lots include a visit to the set of Law & Order: SVU, a heli-skiing trip for four, lunch with William Baldwin on the set of Dirty, Sexy Money, dinner with Nick Lachey or the chance to go falconing with Robert Kennedy Jr.
