    I also saw the grey 430 in about the same place. Also saw a Lotus Elise. It was down town by a gig I was hired for in the Fine Arts building. It was red with a carbon fiber kit.

    In St Charles at about 8AM, I saw a black Aston Martin DB9, then 30 seconds later a black DB7. I hardly ever see AMs so this was something :D

    yesterday around 6 pm in the museum campus by Shedd and Soldiers, one orange super L Lambo. I see this car around quite often. Is it the same person because I did not know that were that many of those around? Good to see they drive it.

    I see that orange Super L quite often. Its gotta be the same owner every time.

    Anyway today I saw a black Aston Vantage, two Bentley CGTCs, a flying spur, a black Lotus Exige, and a grey LP640 all between Irving Park and Downtown on LSD. Also, a light blue Ferrari 355 on Delaware between Rush and Michigan.

    Yellow Ford GT with NY plates (sounds almost like Glick). I gave the driver 2 thumbs up and he waved back. That car is to die for.

    Thanks. My compact camera is insanely slow booting up and focusing so it is rare that I actually "catch" one. In this case I was taking pics of Trump Tower (an ongoing obsession) and the Ferrari showed up. In addition he got caught by a red light, so for once it was easy.

    Still bummed out that I didn't get the yellow Ford GT in front of the Art Institute. That was a sight to behold.

    All the ones that I see downtown are ad cars. Some of them have some pretty off-the-wall designs.
