    I rarely see any cool cars around downtown. Last really cool car was Rob's 355 Challenge in Texas two weeks ago. Pic in my profile.

    There was a red 308 last night parked just off the freeway in the parking lot of an ulholstery place just south of Madison. Saw it on the way back from Chicago.

    Didn't see squat in Chicago. A few 911s. A Boxster. Actually one cool black Benz with black wheels.

    Not much downtown though.

    I drove a Porsche GT2 yesterday. Knocked my socks off. You can say what you want about P-cars but you can't argue with POWER.

    I told you I don't want a ride in that thing....

    It will just make me feel bad about the "less than 270HP" I "enjoy" in my Italian jallopy!!

    You want to know something funny??

    My wife and I were in Louis Vuitton on Michigan Ave. and she was buying a bag, a wallet, AND a scarf. I was standing there trying to catch my breath. And the whole time I was thinking........

    "Why does she buy these things??" People are going to think they are fake anyway and the fake ones look the same and are probably BETTER quality!!!

    Ironic huh??

    I know!! That's why I put "Madison, WI Ferrari Owner" at the bottom. Just trying to be funny. I am ALWAYS trolling around on the Chicago section (instead of my own WI section). I was having a little fun by poking fun of myself at the same time. Maybe Spasso didn't get it??

    I sent him a PM to let him know I was kidding.

    Nothing impressive today...

    Past month it was a black Porsche CGT that was offered to me at an unbelievable price. But Im broke... regardless, as of today it is my favorite supercar to look at and admire.

    This year/summer during my bachelor party in Vegas saw a XJ220 which looks amazing in person.

    Coolest cars in terms of character/owner/looks/location/etc. was probably a few of Jordan's Ferraris and using my old 575 as a prop in my wedding will live with fond memories for quite a while.

    Coolest car I drove this year that I wasn't familiar with was definitely the DB9. I am a big GT car fan and the sound of the exhaust, Vanquish type looks, decent performance was entertaining. But Im still surprised over the lack of fit and finish inside the car ( arm rests and glove box parts were falling off, ) and surprised at how cramped it felt inside, ( as Im about 6 foot 4 inches tall. )

    I can imagine. Ever seen the SNL spoof where Paris Hilton goes shopping for a LV bag? She ends up with a miniscule pouch for contacts.

    I was thinking of posting a "Hey I have nothing to say, but wanted to update the "Last Post" date so it looks like we aren't dead."

    Serious. I was SERIOUSLY thinking about it........
