    I didn't want to put this in summer spotters because it's all dealer spots. To me, that's like fishing with dynamite! Cool, but kind of not really spotting/fishing!

    Every year since my son was pretty young, we've done at least one exotic car day out together. Today was that day and it was pretty good spotting. We always start at Napleton Porsche in Westmont. Today they had a Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari 458 guarding the front door. It was great to see the Aventador because it was my favorite color combo and the only time I've seen it was in Tampa when one went by in the oppositie direction. Next we hit Lamborghini Chicago. This is always our favorite stop since we're both Lambo fans and the staff is always incredibly friendly. They had one of my all time favorites, the Superveloce (in orange and black or course!). They also had a white Aventador out front as well as a bunch of cool cars upstairs. Last, was Continental Ferrari. They had their typical big collection of cool cars. My favorite though is seeing what is in the service area. Today, somebody was having their 288 GTO worked on. The guy cleaning up the shop area must have seen our exotic frenzy because he let us come in and check out the GTO. Lastly was our lunch at the Tilted Kilt! Always my favorite for obvious reasons! It's always funny to see my kid squirm though when the girls come by and dad gets to give him grief. He got his pic taken with our waitress and another girl. Before our food even got there, that pic was out to every kid he knew!!

    Maybe next time we can get some dads/kids to meet up and hit the dealers.

    That spot in that first picture looks familiar. Ha. That is where mine sat when I picked it up the day I bought it at Napleton Porsche.
