Here's some coverage of the Concours event in CT. This wouldnt be too hard to get used to: free entry (the spectators have to pay $20 each to get in), catered breakfast and lunch (we're talking real caterers here, Grey Poupon and all!), free lounge chairs to entrants, even a pianist playing accompaniment on a baby grand for the whole day. Jeez!

Just a couple of bazillion dollar Ferraris - Ralph Lauren's 58 Testa Rossa...




Some Ferrari California Spyders, and a few one-offs...





A 1962 GTO...









Shaken, not stirred, a 1964 Aston Martin DB-4





A BMW M1:



A McLaren:



This was in the spectator parking lot, A Muira:

Gee, how rich do you have to be when you can tell Ferrari that you want them to rebody the Enzo into an updated version of the P4 (of which you own the original)?







The original 1970s Countach. What classic lines:



And what all that 1980s Miami Vice-induced cocaine abuse did to the design:



The Corvette Rondin:



An original, unrestored BMW type 57 roadster, with original, unrestored owner sitting next to it.



Amazing Buick Woody:

Now I know how Clark Griswold's redneck brother-in law feels when he visits.

Here's some real American cars:

Bill's 1968 SS396 and Al's 1969 Copo Chevelle:

Here's them wondering why the champagne steward was late for their refills:
