    black F430 coupe on Michigan Ave
    silver F430 spider with rear challenge grille and AMAZING exhaust (have a short video) on Rush St.
    red F430 Spider parked outside of Hugo's Frog Bar

    orange Superleggera outside of Le Colonial (I think he owns the place, either that or eats there a lot)
    black Superleggera outside of Bentley GC
    orange Gallardo Spyder on Rush St.
    yellow Gallardo outside of Bentley GC

    2 Flying Spurs, 1 Azure, 1 Continental GT, 2 Continental GTCs

    black Hummer H1

    Also, Bentley Gold Coast was surprisingly friendly today. They let me take pictures of everything, including the Veyron, and were very polite and told me to let them know if I had any questions. That was quite a change.

    Just proves that times are tough!

    If the economy picks up they'll probably go back to their old ways.

    Red Boxer on Western Avenue near North. Silver 360 on North near Damen. I guess there's more than hippies in Wicker Park!

    LOL!

    Could be one of Jay Lenno's one liners:

    "Hey Kev, you know when the economy is bad? When the formerly arrogant sleazeball dealers welcome you into their show room!"

    Hmm. Not to derail this thread, but I'm still waiting for the day the airlines become customer oriented again. They're the absolute worst.

    Have you flown Midwest airlines? You should try them. They fly out of Milwaukee. I've had nothing but great success with them.

    It was more a statement in general: Every time you turn around there is yet another new rule to make the passenger's experience more miserable. First it was for safety, then it was the rising fuel prices. I'm still waiting for them to actually take any of the regulations back. And this seems to be an American thing mostly: I had a wonderful experience in Europe recently flying an intra Europe line: Cheap ticket, on time, no hassle at the gate, medium security nonsense, full lunch (on a 1 hour flight!), friendly service, drinks, newspapers, no lost luggage, seat space, instantly at the gate and immigrations, you name it. Don't try this trick going from O'Hare to LGA. :(

    The Milwaukee airport is great, kind of like what you described. You can get there in an hour, well I can, you in your car could get there in half that time! :D

    Beautiful 360 Spyder at E's place today. The car is meticulous with Gruppe M intakes and Capristo exhaust, and Daytona style seats.

    In need of a clutch, but one of the finest 360's I've ever seen!
