    WHAT?!? THAT'S INSANE!!! I bet it's just a demo car though, I doubt someone owns one in Chicago. Regardless, very cool spot.

    They had one at the Barrington Concours dinner and party guests were allowed to drive it.

    Also the folks from Worldclass driving have one for their top events:

    Or that's at least what they used on their promo material for their Indiana event last fall.

    Anyways, here's a few quick pictures I snapped of the car. Luckily, I had my camera gear on me. I was taking pics of my new bike. :D I was riding home when I saw the car.

    I still am unsure if I like how the last one came out. It wasn't supposed to come out that way (wrong setting) but it has a cool feel of motion. (As does the second picture. Only difference is in the second picture, I wanted it to come out that way. :D)

    As did I.
    My parents were staying around the corner from GCB, and I saw the guy getting into the Bugger with his asian gal (much his junior!). Couldnt figure out what kind of test drive you could do on Friday at 4pm in that area of the city. Get to 25 mph in 0.6 seconds, to hammer on the breaks?
    GCB also had some good cars (green Murci, orange G spyder, F430).
    They seemed to have "cleaned the place up" - they were nice, not sleazy feeling. Did they cover up the "Sistine Chapel" ceiling?

    There were two Bugatti Veyrons parked in front of the Fairmont last week, one was a coupe, and I believe the other was this silver one.
