Wekfest Car Show
There were plenty of cars that you might consider the ‘core’ of Wekfest: aired-out luxury sedans, tuner cars fitted to the brim with JDM aftermarket parts and many high-end European cars. But more than ever, they were joined by a variety of modified vehicles representing the entire spectrum. There were lead sleds and lowriders, there were minitrucks, there were pro touring muscle cars, and there were air-cooled VWs.
The selection of 500+ cars at Wekfest was so varied that there was something to make just about any enthusiast happy. There’s always misconceptions that Wekfest is only for the air-bagged and stretched tire crowd, but one look across the San Jose Convention Center would set things straight.
$400K Lamborghini Aventador Crashed By Photograher
Earlier this week, a sports car photographer had what will easily be the worst photo shoot of his life. While preparing for a shoot at Amari Supercars in Preston, England, a man believed to be the photographer drove a Lamborghini Aventador through the front doors of the luxury showroom, leaving behind shards of glass and tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
Lamborghini Aventadors are capable of reaching speeds over 200 mph and start at around $400,000 for the base model — not exactly the type of car you want to run through a window during a photo shoot.
Amari Supercar director Saba Syed remained quiet on the details, brushing the crash off as “a minor incident” while speaking to the Lancashire Evening Post. Eyewitnesses have a rather different story though, with one going to far as to calling the incident “mayhem.” According to an eyewitness, the Aventador shot through the showroom doors damaging two other vehicles, believed to be Ferraris, in the process. Nothing appeared out of line with either the vehicle or operator though, with the eyewitnesses saying, “the Lambo was in a right state — and so too was the bloke who’d been driving it.”
Thankfully, no human injuries resulted from the accident, despite an ambulance being called to the scene per protocol.
200mph Edition Supercar Show
Costa Mesa, Calif. - Lamborghini Newport Beach celebrated July 4th weekend in dramatic fashion with a 200 mph edition of their extremely popular Supercar Show. While other exotics could still attend and park onsite, the dealership reserved special space for vehicles capable of reaching the 200 mph barrier from the factory. The spectacular cars and perfect weather brought hundreds of spectators to the event enjoying such luxury sports cars as Lamborghini Aventador SVs, McLaren P1s, a Koenigsegg CCX, La Ferrari, several Ford GTs, Porsche 918 Spyder and the McLaren 650S Le Mans Edition. Bruce Meyer and Barry Meguiar graced Lamborghini Newport Beach with their presence as well coming out to enjoy the festivities and bring their own vehicles. Meyer brought one of his incredible hot rods while Meguiar chose a beautiful Ford GT to display. Having the two automobile icons on location was an extreme pleasure and a testament to the popularity of Lamborghini Newport Beach’s monthly event

Cars fly on the Fourth of July
Glacier View, near the toe of the Matanuska Glacier, celebrated the Fourth of July with lots of food, a parade and an airplane flyover. They also launched three vehicles off the bluff. The fourth, a Ford van, came off the guide wire at the last moment and crashed head-on into a bulldozer. Party organizer Arnie Hrncir said the team has never launched three vehicles before at the party. “Any little kid’s dream is to roll a rock down a hill. This is times 10,” said Arnie’s son, Dustin Hrncir.
Hrncir estimates the third car off the jump, an early-90s Nissan Pathfinder, reached 55 miles per hour on the 500 foot runway, and traveled a distance of 100 yards in the air — both records for the celebration.
Arnie Hrncir reported 550 guests, the largest crowd ever. Over 500 pounds of pork, beef and chicken were served at the party that first started in 1996. The car launching began in 2005.
