    And I respect yours and others point of view. Yet, I believe in the world of exotics and other high-end automobiles, thefts will only be made if there's already an order for the car. If so, the thieves will get your car no matter what!!

    A Tesla? Wow, I heard there was one (a few?) of these on the prowl but I've yet to see one. Heres hoping that tomorrow's forecast brings all the cars out of hiding! Oh and saw a couple of DB9's cruising around today and a silver Gallardo around the neighborhood.

    What's that little red thing across the intersection in front of the Taxi?

    Yeah, it was kinda fun: I saw this car coming towards me and nothing in my memory db could identify it. Looked a bit like an Elise. Then I read the Tesla logo and it all became clear. While my brain was still processing, my hand went for the camera and the red light helped getting the picture done.

    The car was pretty: Silver with a nice carbon fibre roll hoop across. Two guys in it. No sound.

    Given how rare they are, you could say I just spotted a FXX in downtown traffic. :)

    PS: I spotted some Pontiacs. Soon they will become cars we have to post on here...

    Hmm. Not that I know which Roller is which, but I saw a black and silver R&R this afternoon in the Loop. Was definitely a "modern" R&R.

    Most likely a Phantom. The others have only two doors (Coupe and Drophead). At least for now.

    I did. But even a Rolls is faster than the boot time of my digital.

    Not spotted in Chicago but the owner probably resides there.

    Saw my first Maserati GranTurismo headed North on I-57, South of Arcola (North of Mattoon) around 4 this afternoon.

    This was my small Pentax. The Nikon has instant boot time.

    Regarding your statement: Let's just say I used to have a Canon SLR.
