    Ha! I was taking the picture. That's my father-in-law driving, with his son shotgun. He's got a C4 ZR-1, so driving this one was a sort of 'bucket list' item for him. And yes, he's over 300 lbs, so a tight fit. Scored some brownie points that day. Of course, he's never offered me to drive HIS car, but that's another story... ;)

    Sad. Particularly if your car is the better one.

    .

    actually it IS an awesome machine. the ZR1 has it all. american made, enough power to spin the tires in second gear, nothing like a supercharged V8 with no waiting, GREAT brakes, luv the 6speed, has a warranty and not expensive to fix, can buy used for 90K and really is just a whole lot of FUN on the street. plus it does very well on a racetrack..

    i wouldn't change much on it. maybe add some carbon fiber at the center console and possibly change out the seats for track days.

    very FUN car!

    And it is a supercar by the 200 mph definition and it is an Enzo beater.

    You rarely get more bang for your buck.

    Today while in the car riding home from school, I saw a black Bentley Continental GT on Dempster ave. and Niles Center rd. heading west on Dempster. It was sweet!

    Today, I went to school for a run, because we have the day off. Someone who works at the school owns an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, but I haven't seen it for a week or two. Today, though, in the teacher parking lot, I saw a yellow car. I went over to it for a closer inspection, and saw it was a Lotus Espirit V8. I was amazed. I'm pretty sure the owner of the Lotus owns the Aston Martin, too. Amazing! I'll post pics soon.

    Today, as I was leaving the doctor, something interesting crossed my path. I looked over, and it turned out to be a BMW M1! How awesome! No pics, though, and I am unsure of the year. For a second I thought it was an Espirit, being that I saw one earlier today. But, it wasn't. It was too big and boxy to be an Espirit. It was white and very cool. BMW only made about 450 M1's, but I am not sure how many are in the Chicago area. It was a great find, nonetheless. I am pleased. That might've been only my 2nd or 3rd spotting of one!

    I saw:
    Yesterday:
    Red Maserati Biturbo S across from my school, about 6:30 pm, probably same guy who owns a Maserati 3200.
    Maybach 57 about 9:30 pm, turning left onto Skokie Blvd, from Old Orchard.
    Today:
    Blue Ferrari F430 going down Old Orchard. Stopped for gas at BP, snapped a pic. I think its the same Ferrari my friend saw.

    Sorry for the late pics. I will post them really soon!
