    Given the change in weather I decided to officially close the winter spotters thread and start this one.

    Haven't seen a Ferrari yet, but tons of Porsches and Vettes. Time to dust off my own.

    Not much out in the burbs where we mortals live. Did drive my 328 for about 90 minutes. Got the spider webs blown out of it. Sure was nice. Looking forward to some FOC drives!

    Red/tan 360 spider on Arlington Heights road in front of Elk Grove High school - pullling in to see my daughter cheerleading for the basketball team. And it had an exhaust I believe - sounded nice.

    Is that a Morgan? Would your friend happen to be a plastic surgeon?

    Something that resembled a red Ferrari (?? 308) northbound 94 by Lake about 1:30pm today.... red, ? GTS, but the top was red, maybe 355 rims, and (gasp!!!) a TAIL!
    Anyone else seen it ?!?!?!

    Today, I went to Bloomingdale for another denstist appointment. I passed by Fox Valley Motorcars and saw lots of Lotus Elise, Exige, Viper, and a Ferrari (not sure what model it is because there was a car next to me and I didn't see it clearly). They are all parked outside.

    Other cars that I saw today are Porsche Boxter and some more Vette's.

    Just thought I'd share! :)
