    Lots of F-Cars today. There was a grey 575M parked outside the Peninsula all weekend. Red F430 outside of Carmen's on Rush this afternoon and a black Granturismo cruising up Michigan today. Oh and a grey 599 on Michigan Friday.

    Sunday was apparently the start of the exotic driving season! After spotting the above 430, I had to drive to Barrington to pick up a slot machine (different thread topic!). Spotted a bright orange Gallardo driving east on 68 next to Barrington Motor Werks. Then on the way back, spotted a beatiful yellow Murcielago going north on 59 coming up on the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates. That's a big day for me!

    I sense a lot of "anticipation" at this red light.

    Aren't you supposed to be at work today? And why does a police officer know all that?
