The 2nd Annual Ford GT Owner's Rally is now locked in, and it will be based out of Newport Beach, California on August 1-5, 2007. If you saw the coverage from last year's rally in Dearborn, Michigan you know how amazing it can be when over 80 Ford GTs get together for a rally. It's likely an even larger number of GTs will attend this event because of the high density of Ford's exotic car in the Southern California area. The long-term GT didn't make last year's rally because of the distance involved, but you can bet it will be at this year's gathering...
Scheduled items include a tour of Saleen's Irvine facility, a day of driving the GT's at the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, and a dinner with members of the Ford GT design team at the Petersen Automotive Museum. You can learn more here.

I was under the impression that long-term test vehicles are for a 1-year period; is the GT a long-term tester, or does it have a permanent spot in the Edmunds garage? Or is it Karl's toy that he blogs about to write off? ;)

Yes to all of the above.

Well that certainly explains the silly grin at the top of your blog.
Kudos, sir. Well played.
