Randy Nonnenberg is the Co-founder and President of Bring a Trailer, an online auction marketplace for collectible vehicles and more. He is from Northern California and worked in engineering and production at Audi and BMW for 10 years before taking the leap and working at Bring a Trailer full time starting in 2010. He got the car bug from his dad while living in Stuttgart, Germany at a very early age. BaT, as we regulars call it, brings automotive enthusiasts a daily dose of automobiles that are available for sale. Your daily dose of BaT is like having your own personal assistant who scouts out all the cool cars, trucks, and motorcycles for sale.
This show aires on the day a very special car goes up for sale. I’ve decided to sell my collector car, the one I call my Orange Crush, and I’ve entrusted the sale to Bring a Trailer. I have hired a tried and trusted seller to manage the sale, Raffi Minasian, who has been a past guest on Cars Yeah as well. You will find the listing here: Orange Crush
