    Haha. I don't think they're going to fit. :)

    One thing I learned, instead of posting what we have, it would be better if we simply enjoy the car on our own with privacy! :D:D:D

    Ditto Billiam, he seems like a good kid.

    By the way, Mr. Buttcrack, I have an interest in the car that Ralph Spoilsport Motors has for sale.

    Can you hook me up?

    Saw a yellow 360 spider on the Edens yesterday afternoon heading into town, lots of traffic. A few minutes later watched a red RS4 go by me still in traffic. Not sure why everyone was going past me ...

    Nice to see that the mild weather brings out the toys again.

    LOL

    Let's say my car's rear end is a lot nicer than its driver's...

    Didn't realize that was you, kewl. I got a crummy picture, but it is mostly the engine cover of my own car.

    Jim, I saw a yellow 360 spider in Wayne quite a few times a couple years back & haven't seen it recently - familiar with that one at all?

    On just about any day I go to West Dundee, I see a Lamborghini LP640 Roadster (red), a beat Jeep CJ, and either a Roll-Royce or large BMW, all in one driveway. The Lambo is outside no matter what the weather.

    Today I saw a blue Maserati westbound on Lake Cook in Deerfield, and then an hour later, saw a blue Masterati Quattroporte westbound on I-90 exiting North on Rte. 31. I might have seen the same car twice in one day, in locations 40 miles apart.

    Well then, you and your neighbor are neighbors of my sister's family, and if you've been there a few years, when her house was owned by my mother, you were a neighbor to up to 9 of my siblings and step-siblings. I've entertained the idea of buying the house for sale that is between the Lambo guy and my sister's house. I might become your neighbor!

    I've seen your neighbor's other Lambos over the years, the yellow one, the black one, etc. It amazed me to see this one sitting there with 9 inches of snow on the soft top. I stand corrected on the RR vs Bentley, and upon further review, the BMW is a Mercedes.

    True! I was more concerned with spotting the women walking around though, the cars were just background noise.
