    spotted -> Half inch hail out my window (as I was watching the last minute of the basketball game). Issue, my Viper and Rover were in the driveway..... I quickly tossed a couple of loosely wadded car covers on the Viper, as it took a minute to clear a spot in the garage (stuff was sprawled out due to a project I was working on). Does not look like any damage to the Viper. Have not checked the Rover yet.

    Deal! You can't buy publicity like that for a car that’s on the market. Let me know when the car goes on the site and when you want to arrange a ride.

    I had to look it up to see if it was real. Brabus E55. Not overly impressed.

    Yesterday afternoon I saw a white LP 560 Gallardo spyder... top down on Lake Shore Dr. Considering all the people driving less exotic convertibles with their top up on nicer / warmer days, that owner has my respect.

    Not as exotic but saw a BMW X6M on Odgen in Westmont. That is the only car I have ever viewed in person that caused me to become physically nauseous. Has that happened to anyone else when confronted with one of these oversized angular monsters?

    Ditto, I call them cartoon cars! I guess they just appeal to those who want to try to 'Keep up with the Joneses'!

    Today about 11:45 AM on 290, a Grigio 360 Modena w/shields. No rear valence and some kind of weird aftermarket or homemade exhaust.

    This is a double-wide transporter of some sort. In the background are parts that connect the trailer to the tractor. It looks like it has dual engines, side by side behind the grill. It's about 20 feet wide. My guess is that it carries heavy equipment. REALLY HEAVY equipment.

    It was next to the road in Hampshire (15 miles west of Elgin), not far from the epicenter of the recent earthquake. I've seen this monster parked back in the lot (Allen's Towing) for years... I wonder if this thing's recent move buckled the crust.

    I think my last post was of a Smart Car pulling a tiny trailer. I bet this thing has chunks of Smart Car in its exhaust.

    I snapped this recently as it was going 17,000 mph, 220 miles above the ground.

    The ISS is shown as a streak in this 15 second time exposure. It fades to invisible as it passes into the Earth's shadow.
