    How the hell did you do that? Found a street cafe on Rush and sat there all day with an endless supply of Cappuchini?

    White Phantom with the gold grille belongs to the $$ man behind Aigre Deux restaurant.
    I think it is gold plated or even partially gold, at a cost over $200k.

    Holy crap that LP is unreal!! Yesterday, I was driving home around midnight from Wisconsin and a beautiful Grey Corvette ZR1 sped by me at about 120MPH. I was going 85 and it passed me like I was standing still. The sound was incredible, my first ZR1 spot.

    It parked in front of a jewelry store across the street from the Esquire magazine building, I'm not sure which street. I was taking pictures of the Superleggera when it drove by, so I only had to chase it a couple blocks :D

    The time stamp on your post showed you made your post at 12:10am yesterday; meaning tomorrow would be today. Guess you're in a different time zone! :)

    For one year, from November 1979 to November 1980, I worked in Chicago, 1/2 a block from Michigan Ave., between Walton and Delaware (now the parking structure for Bloomingdales). I shopped on Rush Street nearly every day. I probably saw ONE Ferrari in all that time. Sucks!

    My parents and aunt were at a Starbucks on Michigan while I was walking around. I walked around Michigan for 10-15 mins and started to go in to the back streets to Rush.

    Saw a metallic tan GranTurismo S today. Only other GranTurismo S I've seen other than Adam's. It was such a bizarre color!

    Edit: Just did some research, the color is a special edition color called Grigio Nuvolari. The paint alone costs $2,900. \
    I ran the color through the Maserati car configurer. This is pretty close to what it looked like. It was more like a brown up close. Pic 1 is the closest:

    So I turned out of school today onto College ave. and a Yellow Murci with black rims w/ yellow lip comes flying towards me. Sounded awesome. Then I turn left onto Maple Ave. and a Black GranTurismo pulls up next to me while I'm waiting at the light. Polar Silver 993 Turbo S on ogden ave. I Love that color! Of course the kid at my school brought his gray R35 GTR today also. Beautiful weather out. I drove 150 miles in the last 2 days just in driving for fun with windows open.
