    Amazing car but I just don't find it exciting to see cars like that at dealerships or car shows (at least indoor ones). I'd rather never see one.

    Nope, not me, sorry. This is my dream car. I've been waiting years to see this. I finally have and it's amazing! But...it honestly would be better if I could see it on the streets.

    I agree and disagree with that comment, I love seeing exotics on the streets haha exoticspottings probably my biggest hobby, I usually don't go to dealers to browse but if they have something special then i'll go check it out, I mean when will you ever see an Aston One-77/Mclaren F1 on the streets?

    Better to have seen an exotic at the dealer than to never have seen one at all! Plus you get to look more at the dealer since most owners won't want you looking in/around their car.

    Including you! Hehe. This car is so cool! I might go spotting downtown this weekend. I may have seen this car on the highway a couple weeks ago. I also want to stop by Fields in the near future to check this thing out!

    Gray Audi R8... sounded awesome, I'm guessing aftermarket exhaust. Nice driver too, he waited when the light turned green for me to get video and then took off

    This must be the same car I saw on the Kennedy a few months ago heading into the city. Can't be too many around here.

    Yeah - I would certainly think it must have been. The #001 and #031 should be the only pair in the Chicago area. Exciting to hear it is actually being driven - I was given the impression that wasn't the case from another source.

    Wow! I want to see it on the street!

    Wow!!

    I was wondering too! If it did, it's from LFSC, and the owner maybe owns the F50??? If not, IL plated?!

    Sorry guys the pic was taken by a friend of mine I believe it could be the Indiana plated car as it was up in that Lake forest area.

    Wasn't there an F40 at LFSC recently for service? Maybe it's just on a test drive after the service. I believe the gentlemen with the F40 doesn't live that far north, but I'm not sure.

    But, definitely an awesome spot.

    Not really a "spot" but I thought it would be interesting.
    Rented a California and test drove Fisker.
    Cali was an eye opener,a real Ferrari that can be easily used as daily driver (never test drove it before).
    Fisker a disappointment,horribly cramped interior(back seat totally useless),unacceptable performance and very annoying sound of the engine.
    Not a very practical proposition because of way too long recharging and short range.
    Gorgeous styling,interior fit and finish reminds me of some kit cars though.....
