Kids . . . when hiding, they automatically assume that if they can't see you, then you can't see them.

Part of Ron Pratte’s collection before he liquidated.

I was at the 2006 BJ auction when Pratt was building his collection hot/heavy. He bought the LS-6 Chevelle convertible drag car and the GM Futureliner bus among a bunch of other cars at that auction. I believe he spent close to 10 million that weekend at the peak of the market. I always wondered how big of a bath he took when he liquidated.

There was a third favorite: SUSFU (Situation Unchanged: Still F*@ked Up) but this one has fallen out of favor and is no longer used.

Also FUBAR has another meaning: "F*@ked Up By A$$holes in the Rear".

FUBAR also = F*@ked Up Beyond All Recognition ...

Since he built his collection one auction at a time, it would be next to impossible to figure out how much he lost.
