    Are those Indiana plates? Only seen one other Murc around here and it was Yellow. A couple of G's floating around also.

    Here's a pic I took late last summer. License plate reads, "IMSPDING" Please forgive my fat finger in the picture. Was trying to snap the pic as fast as possible. Good thing too because he nailed it and was gone.

    Finished college yesterday so I spent a good deal of time walking around and sitting around outside drinking at various outdoor establishments.

    As a result:

    black murcie on state in the loop, yellow gallardo on michigan at pearson, orange Super G outside le colonial, white drophead phantom outside hugo's, red 360 spider outside carmine's, blue 360 modena at division and state, red scuderia at division and state, red 348 at state and elm

    Wooooo!

    Yep, he had Indiana plates.

    I actually spotted it parked at Continental Motors on Ogden Ave. as I passed it getting on 294. A couple of minutes later I saw him coming up behind me at a pretty good clip... He hopped off at 95th St.

    Look what was following me around northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. I tried to lose them by turning, twisting at nearly every intersection I saw. :D
