Spring Spotters Thread

Right now, a 997.2 GT3 RS on Orleans/Ontario.

 

DRIVE!

DONT TEXT!

 

Okay, I'm calling this exotic! A late model Dodge Ram Bumblebee (if that's right) Edition Hemi truck in the Batavia Target. Unfortunately, it's the property of a mobile hoarder!! This thing was so full of crap, there was only a "cockpit" for the driver. There was so much garbage in the back, it appears that it's bending the frame down!!!

Im safely posting from the office with a view to that corner

 

Is it legal to drive with that much **** floating around?

 

Not if it obstructs your view out of the vehicle. I would also weigh him up because he's only allowed 8000 lbs. on passenger car plates. Depending on what's in the back, he could actually be overweight on his registration.

 

Silver MBZ McLaren SLR spotted a block from my place on my walk home a short while ago

 

Wait.... I didn't think you could have "passenger plates" on a pick-up? Back in 2001 my winter car was a Ford Explorer Sport-Trac, the front 2/3rds are regular Explorer, the back 1/3 is pick-up. I was cited for having passenger plates on that, on Christmas day none the less.

 

Untrue, you can have passenger plates on a pickup. If you have no intentions of ever hauling anything that may put you over that 8000 lbs. there's no need to get B-truck plates which would cover you to 8,000 lbs. as well. Sounds like you bumped into someone who wasn't happy to be working Xmas......My Sergeant has a Sport Trac with passenger car plates right now.

Here's the Illinois Secretary of State definition of a passenger car plate:
"Passenger plates are multi-year and may be displayed on passenger vehicles, vans weighing 8,000 pounds or less and sport utility vehicles."

and that of a B-truck plate:
"B-truck license plates are multi-year and may be displayed on trucks and vans weighing 8,000 pounds or less, sport utility vehicles and antique trucks."

Hope this helps.

 

The constable has spoken.

It's good to have a cool cop on the site!

Thanks,

Ferrari 612 Ingrid Sabbia spotted at Madison and Franklin

 

This seems rather common compared to the stuff some of you guys have been seeing lately, but I snapped a picture so I'm postin' it! I spotted this at about 7:45 a.m. on Rt.31 North of Elgin this morning. He was short shifting it so much that I never really heard a peep :-( The weird thing is that the car was yellow - not orange. (I know my phone's camera sucks, but I never saw it change colors before.)

Today, downtown: Dark grey metallic Maser GT. Sounded awesome!

 

Adam?

 

Black 599 GTB on my walk home on Kingsbury

 

I live on Kingsbury / walk home too. I saw a black 599 trundling down W Ontario recently right past Reza's.

 

White Mondial Cab driven by middle age lady in Northbrook on Lake Cook Rd,this afternoon.

 

If it was a T, sounds like it might have been Martha Kushner.

 

It was an early one ,had black bumpers.

 

I was mainly on Franklin, Washington, Lake and Madison, if you saw it on one of those streets, good chance it was me Thanks if so!

 

Northbound on Franklin around noon. I guess that must have been you then. You weren't going fast, but the sound of it was awesome and above any other car nearby.

 

At @12:15pm a red Ferrari F-40 spotted on Boughton Rd.( passing the IKEA off of I-355) today!!!- I wonder how many of those are in the Chicagoland area??? I saw an F-40 before at Edward Hospital in Naperville( in the parking garage, but that was @4 years ago.)

 

The one at the Hospital would likely have been our favorite tifosi neurosurgeon, Dan Harrison.

 

You might want to edit out the license plate.

 

GAH!! That's so unlike me... sorry, lost my head. Deleted, new pic:
