    Yesterday approx 4:25 p.m. saw a silver F355 Spider heading West thru St. Charles on 64 as I was heading East across Kirk (put your foot into it man! I couldn't even hear your engine above the more mundane traffic!).

    Today, approx 6:40 a.m. there was a beige Rolls Royce heading North up County Farm thru Hanover Park as I was heading South - looks like a nice sedate way to start the day, but I'd probably wonder how I got to work each day if I drove something that cush :)

    Ooops. Almost certainly a new model, or maybe a replica. Our relative speed to each other was probably 110mph.

    Drove around for two days straight and didn't see a single exotic.

    I saw a red 430 on 294 around the Hinsdale oasis at about 1:30 on Sunday. Also saw what looked to be an older E type on 80/94 and a black NSX on I65. Great day for taking the toys out!
