Throw out the notion that Concours d’Elegance events are just sedate wine and cheese affairs where the only sounds are crystal glasses clanging and the rubbing of hundred-dollar-bills on each other within thick wallets. At this weekend’s 2010 Kirkland Concours attendees were given unique visual and aural thrills when the class of nine vintage Ford GT-40s all fired-up their engines and revved.

The class included five MK I models, a ’66 MK II and a ’66 MK III, as well as a ’67 427-ci MK IV. And if these weren’t impressive enough, the unique ’65 Prototype Spyder was also there singing.

Watch the video and enjoy.

It drives me crazy when people do this. How could you even think to ask a random passenger to “drive” for you from the right-side seat while you take your hands off the wheel to futz around? This hideous wreck occurred when a driver, allegedly high in a Chevy Blazer carrying drugs of just about every denomination, got the passenger to hold the wheel while flying down a two-lane highway in Washington state last week. The passenger promptly put the Blazer over the centerline and into the grille of an oncoming Outback carrying a Canadian couple returning from vacation. Bodycount included the Blazer’s two rear-seat passengers, and the man driving the Subaru, who was killed on impact. The survivors were the two idiots from the front seat of the Blazer and the Subaru driver’s widow, 7 months pregnant. I’ll ask again: how freakin’ difficult is it to stay on your own side of the road? Full story via KOMO News, and video here.

My wife and I went to Reno this weekend and on the way we saw this, uh, car. It was parked with a bunch of other vintage machines. Don’t ask me what town it was because I don’t think it’s even on a map–let’s just say it’s “somewhere in the northern central high desert portion of California.” It appears to be a late ’70′s Firebird complete with T-tops with ’57 Chevy fins and trunk. I couldn’t get a good shot of the front, but something odd is going on there too. I think it should be driven like it is. What do you think?
