    A 599 XX up close and personal. Check the winglets and triple louvre hood scoops. You must have felt like James Bond snapping this one without getting your a** handed to you on a plate. Nice job.

    At Continental Autosports this afternoon......What a great selection of cars including a 333SP and F40 in for service, a new blue 458 and a rare old car(Can you guess what it is..should be easy for most of you)

    The Superamerica and Lusso were amazing.

    Almost forgot the 355 challenge car. They are upgrading the dealership showroom right now but still have a huge selection of cars. Can't wait to see the dealership when its finished.

    Many Quattroportes, numerous Porsche 911 Turbo’s, and a Spyker Spider at Gibson’s in Oak Brook last night. That place is definitely the right angle of the Viagra triangle in the western suburbs.

    Did you happen to get a photo of the new Alfa Giuliettas at O'hare. I know most of them came through Chicago. I saw 2 of them sitting outside on the ramp.

    Almost always an exotic parked in front. Even more so than the Chicago location. Yesterday, I saw a pearl white Gallardo Spyder and a dark red 599.

    1910 Packard!

    The owner had it at the Geneva Concourse this year.
    Turns out he lives in my town... he offered for us to come see his cars, and we did yesterday!
    Went cruising around town in a ONE HUNDRED YEAR OLD CAR! It was soooo cool! Even my kids loved it. Powerful machine, can haul up big hills too!
    If you ever see it around, the owner is very gregarious, very gracious, an all around great guy! Feel free to chat him up!

    Yeah, well at least they gave you photo credit. :)

    I've had it happen where they cropped out my watermark and didn't give me credit. :eek:

    Only because I contacted them, earlier it was uncredited. But yeah, cropping the watermark is just low.

    Copyright infringement should be taken seriously. If your pictures have been used without permission, it is theft. You can be compensated. If you can demonstrate the images commercial value, it is easier to arrive at a dollar amount. Your pictures are of a professional caliber that easily makes them commercially valuable. Theft of your images is money out of your pocket.

    Here's an example of a photographer that found his pictures being used without permission. The perpetrators even removed the copyright info in the image. The photographer sued and was eventually paid $19,462 for the unauthorized use of 2 photos.

    Interesting, thanks. Next time it happens, I'll follow up more aggressively.
