    Way home from work last night:

    Behind an orange Lamborghini Aventador w/California plates.

    5 min. before, I was walking out of my building and a red Ferrari Mondial cruised by. I think the same one that's frequently parked across from Carmine's. Spoke to the owner once, very nice man who I believe told me he's the original owner.

    Gotcha

    Last night in Barrington: 2012 Bentley CGT, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder in what I believe was Rosso Granata Met, a blue Quattroporte, and orange Gallardo that drove past while I was taking pictures, couldn't tell it it was an LP or not, white BMW X6M, pretty cool car... a Bentley CGT & a Bentley GTC 80-11 Edition

    In Lake Forest: a White Bentley CGT & I couldn't tell what it was but a red Porsche either a GT3 or GT2, it flew past me, I made a u-turn but it was nowhere to be found
