    I'm going to Chicago tomorrow, anything car-related going on downtown? If not I will just hang out downtown and look for spottings.

    Check out Navy Pier this weekend

    The Italian American Chamber of Commerce once again is presenting a full schedule of activities highlighting Italian business and industry.

    Continental AutoSports has 2 new Ferrari's,2 new Maserati's and the new Alfa Romeo down there.

    I am sure FVMC/LC will have a few cars there as well

    You can always stop by Wrigley Field and see the Cubs implode and lose their comfy lead and get bounced from the playoff chase.

    GO WHITE SOX!!!

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm pretty much stuck downtown because I'll be taking the train and can only walk places.
    What are some super luxury hotels besides The Peninsula? (since they always park the best cars out front, I figure they'd be good places to check)

    Seems like Mariano Park is one of the best places in Chicago to spot exotics. Right there on State and Bellview. Just a short walk north from downtown. A place ot be seen, and there is a little pub called Dublins that you can go in and catch a beer/game. Tons of MILFs running around that area.

    Yes for once I have to say Navy Pier is a good destination this weekend. They have the 8C, a 599, 430, GranTurismo, Quattroporte, Lamborghinis and Ducatis.

    I don't suppose it's a free show though? Seeing them on the street is always more exciting, and less expensive. With the weather being nice (possibly last nice weekend in a long time), I have a feeling there will be plenty out in the wild tomorrow.

    It is $15. However, you get a chance to sample some food and wine. There is other nice scenery (besides the cars) as well. 8) Otherwise, if you find yourself by the entrance to Hall A on Navy Pier you can get a good look at the Alfa 8C.

    Bad choice; why would anyone want to visit those 'Mafioso' looking guys just to see some 'Exotics'?

    And please, if you do stop in.......watch your step!

    I've never understood why White Sox fans care so much about how the Cubs do. Unless we're playing each other during interleague play, please tell me how a Cubs loss brings the White Sox any closer to winning this years World Series?

    Always wondered that myself. Cardinal fans and other teams' fans can actually admit it when the Cubs are doing good...

    Yeah, Sox fans have nothing better to do now than $hittalk the Cubs, per usual. Take care of your own business--we did.
