    *Forgiato, not Forigato lol. :D

    I'm not sure I get the joke, are you implying I saw a replica or are you insulting Lambos? :)

    That SLR Roadster is so sick, I have yet to see one.

    I'm about to throw that useless Pentax away! The car was slowly approaching me, I had it full size in the viewer and hit the shutter. Nothing happened. I kept pressing and pressing and the car eventually leisurely took off. As it was about a block away the shutter finally opened. This is the dumbest camera I've ever had: The car was totally in focus, but the camera didn't recognize that and refused to take the picture. I was near tears.

    PS: I dont drink and drive.

    I feel your pain.
    Happened to me before at a swim meet when my camera "refused" to record my son's win(I had the perfect possible shot).
    That camera ended up on the ground,back in as many pieces as it was assembled from.
    So frustrating......

    -Red Dino on North yesterday
    -Blue 410 (I think) on North a couple days ago
    -Red California on Rush yesterday (it's even worse in person, but it sounded good)
    -Same blue 430 still parked near the lake for over a week

    Wow! Lucky... :) How was it?



    Yesterday I was driving down LSD around 5:30. I saw a bunch of men in suits and people taking pictures. I then looked at this random softball field to the right, where everybody seemed to be looking. Parked on this random softball field were 4 large green helicopters with presidential seals. The president was in town. :D

    http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/07/obama-arrives-in-chicago-for-fundraisers.html

    I got two really bad pictures of the helicopters on my phone as I was driving by:

    You can clearly see two, there is a third one behind the tree in the first picture and the fourth one is out of the frame.

    YOU RULE!

    I see the sponsor sign behind the car. Is that how you "paid" for the ride? If so, I'd love to know the details. Always willing to throw some money at a good cause and get to experience a different car.

    They flew right by my house and I realized what they were, but I don't understand why they were here: He rode in the limo from O'Hare to downtown. So are they air cover by the Secret Service?

    Thanks. That's what will ultimately happen to this camera as well. For now I have to play nice until I buy some decent replacement. Thinking about the Nikon Coolpix.

    The Diablo was developed under Chrysler ownership.

    I saw the homeless looking guy that you guys seem to know about, driving a red 360 modena spider with a rear spoiler on Chicago and State street. Around 7:45 pm today

    The new POTUS is definitely squandering taxpayers money as his popularity drops. I know this isn't the proper section to post my political sentiments, but I believe his 'Health Care' plan will be his Waterloo.

    So far, Obama's accomplishments add up to 0. Campaign promises long forgotten and reform a complete lie!

    Probably should be moved to the Politics section.

    But while he was a senator he did write two books about himself...but no laws or anything else.

    Anyway, saw a red 348 on North today.

    Just saw a silver Porsche Carrera GT (CGT) and and Orange Lambo Superleggera parked out front at a resturant on Rush st. Seems to be a popular spot for exotic car owners, I saw a 360 modena around the same area a wee prior. The Lambo was definately a head turner. I followed the CGT around the block before he parked.

    About noon today, an Orange Murci getting on to North 53 off of Euclid in Palatine; or is that Rolling Meadows? I get so confused.

    I was at Fullersburg in Oak Brook yesterday and saw a sweet old Porsche Spyder take a couple passes on Spring Road.

    Euro 308 QV on Waukeegan near Deerfield HS around an hour ago. Awesome!

    Yesterday saw a Silverish Blue (azure california?) 360 Spider on Belden. Unusual Rear Challenge Grill, not factory.
