    Yesterday, I saw a red Lotus Elise and a red Ferrari 355 (I'm not sure because I didn't get a chance to see the car clearly). Also saw a blacked out Porsche Cayman which is pretty sweet!

    I saw a good one. Driving on I-94 near the Indiana border on Saturday morning I saw a Maserati Merak, in Burgundy, driving in the other direction. It looked cool enough, but then I noticed it was towing a matching trailer!! Anyone?

    I love those! There's a black Merak in my neighborhood that I see from time to time. They're cheap to buy but I hear parts are impossible.

    Apparently the owner of the one I saw has resolved that issue by trailering around his own spares.

    Hey Mike RPM, did you have some toys out today? We saw a Yellow 360 Modena, a Yellow Viper GTS and a Yellow Murcielago all parked over at Redstone on Butterfield Rd. in Oakbrook Terrace today at around 3PM. (On our way to the Gym....:) ) It was weird but cool seeing 3 Yellow Exotics all parked together. Reminds me of Scottsdale, Arizona. Yellow Exotic Cars and Sportscars are big down there. I like that pearlescent Lamborghini Yellow.

    Cool! Very cool! O.K., my son said that he saw a black Lambo too. I didn't, as I was coming up to that curve and had to watch the road. I just saw the yellow cars kind of, "Sticking Out". Well, then...It was nice to, uh, "see you", Carla! :) (Nice crew!!!....:) )

    Then this evening, when I was driving Junior back out to his mama's house in St. Charles. Red 430 eastbound on Butterfield Rd. by Yorktown in Lombard, 7PM-ish.

    10 minutes later, Butterfield Rd. and Weisbrook in Warrenville. Red Viper RT/10 also headed eastbound.


    Butterfield Rd. always seems to be a Hot Spot for Exotics. All of those nice restaraunts....:)

    Was it a 'REAL' GT40, a kit or a newer Ford GT.

    I doubt it was a real GT40!

    Red 308 Saturday at Palatine and Kennecott.

    Also Saturday, get this, a Nobel M400 parked at Frontier Park for a kid's soccer game! My son and I stopped to give it a once over. A VERY nice car in the flesh; pictures don't do it justice. And the guy was running slicks on it!

    Hey Frank,

    Wasn't me; I had a Blue Gallardo this weekend that I took to one of my best friend's wedding. I have been seeing a TON of exotics on Butterfield. Just from this past Friday night to Sunday night I saw on Butterfield: Carla's Gallardo, Sonny's Murci, a red Murci, a Diablo, 2 Esprits, Elise, Maser Coupe, 4 Modenas, and a 360 spyder. And I wasn't even home much this weekend!!

    Also saw a 348 spider in my rear view mirror in Naperville on my way to the wedding.

    The weather is finally here!!!!

    Hi Mike! Yeah, same here! I wasn't really out that much this weekend either. But every time that I did go out, we saw Exotic Cars on Butterfield Rd. Definitely a "Hot Spot" for Erotic Exotics....:)

    Today around 5PM. Yellow Viper RT/10 Eastbound on Roosevelt Rd. at Ardmore Av. in Villa Park. That's 3 different Vipers in 2 days!
