    Was there today..... I missed the Honda Pilot, but I saw a few things at the Alfa booth, and the Ford GT too.

    That profile shot of the Ford GT makes it look quite long.

    Nice set of Alfas :)

    The sign by the red one said it was the 4C? Looked more like the 4D to me....

    I saw a white 458 with tint on Monday night pull up to the Hugo Boss store on Michigan Ave and a girl in a red dress ran something out to him.

    I think it's an RB5. They are all ugly!!! The thing has the wheelbase of a truck and the track of a go cart:)

    Watercraft - today I saw 2 people on waverunners in Monroe Harbor (which last thursday was all ice...)

    Cars - Sort of cheating with respect to a "spot".... but got a new (to me) AM V8V Roadster Manual Trans delivered yesterday. Too bad I had to work today... would have been a great day get some seat time.

    Having only put about 15 miles on the V8V my initial reaction is that I like the exhaust sound of the V8V better than my 991 but that the 991 feels like it has better grip when I step on it (i.e. more likely to kick the rear end out in the V8V than 991) which I suspect is attributable in part to the front engine.

    Perhaps this weekend I can drive them back to back and see how they compare.

    Congrats! I picked up a V8V coupe a couple weeks ago myself. She's done about 150 miles around Chicago thus far.
