    There's more than one model Tesla makes? I thought it was only the roadster, or whatever.

    Yes, there is only one model at this moment. The Elise is the Lotus that the Tesla is built on. Looks very similar.

    Ferrari 430 Scuderia on Madison and Clark at 11:55

    Ferrari 16M on Michigan 45 min. later.

    (Both darker Red then Corsa. Possibly the same car, but I don't know how I wouldn't have noticed the top missing from the Scud?)

    I’m sure the AMG’s you routinely see are not “black series” editions. Those clearly qualify as exotic.

    I just googled them and found a production volume of 300. Agreed, they are exotics.

    It was the first SL version I've seen in person. Around $300k and it definitely looked exotic!

    Nice to read a positive statement about our great city in this forum for once.

    Not sure it is the greatest, but it certainly is very close to the top. And a lot better than many people on here make it out to look.
