Best Of The INorthwest — 6.21.10

Linda Lantzy of the superb Idaho Scenic Images Facebook site caught this unexpected action Friday night during the crusin’ portion of Car d’Lane. Writes Linda: “At one point this car stalled and every older gentlemen in the vicinity jumped out of his chair to go help. I think they all just wanted to touch it … It was very nice of them, but also quite hilarious.” You can see Linda’s Idaho Scenic Images Facebook page here .
