    Heading north on the Kennedy just after 4 PM; driving rain, I'm on the Metra. A silver Gallardo on a flatbed was stuck in traffic and very wet. Then a mile ahead was a yellow Gallardo on a flatbed, stuck in traffic and very wet. Who was moving two Gallardos on open flatbeds???

    Yellow TR northbound on LSD yesterday.

    Today a London cab on the inner drive. Seriously. It looked so out of place, it was funny. The meter probably read 3 gazillion pounds...

    Last night a Mercedes SUV with a huge camera arm mounted on top of it on Wabash. Was the director's car for a chase scene of the new Angelina Jolie/Morgan Freeman movie "Wanted".

    Also spotted in the Loop: The Wiener mobile. I hope both sigthings are unrelated. :)

    I noticed some trucks that looked like film production stuff opposite the Hyatt on Wacker the other day. Do you know if they're related?

    Also saw a black 360 pull out from its parking garage last night, made all the right noises.

    I know the "Players Club" owners/players through racing....Jesus they got green and taste! They line up about 5 Porsche GT3's at the track and then always have something cool they drove there....Last week was a black/orange GT3 RS, this week a black Lamborghini Gallardo with black wheels....I'll take a pic tomorrow if its there, hell something better will probably be there...

    Yup, all for the same production. It is a standing army of trucks and people they had there over the weekend. Looked like the car scene was a night scene with dramatic lighting underneath Wabash. Also lots of extras. I was walking by them when they were auditioning.

    Yesterday, when I was on my way to Gurnee.. I saw lots and lots of Porsches and Corvettes. The best one I have spotted though is a Ferrari 328 (I'm not sure) parked in front of a boating store/rentals at IL-120.

    Saw a yellow Aston Martin V8 Vantage on Oak St, had a Ohio BKRPTCY plate. The yellow wasn't quite as yellow as the Ferrari color.

    Also saw at least 2 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTs.

    I think I would rather have the Maserati.




    I also saw a newish black Viper, XK, a few Flying Spurs.

    My neighbor bought a Panoz in the offseason. It's a pretty sweet car, but since I see it every day I'm beginning to get bored...
