    I saw a white Scuderia today on Michigan Avenue near Ontario. It was my first one. No pictures, unfortunately. Maybe it was the same one?

    I also saw about 4 or 5 Bentleys, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW Z8, and a Saleen Mustang... I LOVE CHICAGO!!!! lol. More spots to come tonight hopefully...

    I'll try and describe the location as best as I can. I'm still getting familar with the area...

    Bentley Flying Spur on Michigan Avenue near Ontario.

    Bentley Continental GTC near The Peninsula (I think).

    Bentley Continental GT near Ralph Lauren.

    Aston Martin Vantage Roadster near Millenium Park.

    Lamborghini LP640 Roadster on State Street (I think).

    Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked on Rush Street.

    Bentley Continental GTC parked on Rush Street.

    Another Bentley Continental GTC parked on Rush Street about 8 spots away from the other one.

    And many other cars that I could not get a picture of...

    Anyone from here?

    Bentley Continentals have become so passe'. They're like Mustangs and Corvettes.......you'll see many of them on a daily basis.

    Unfortunately, they've lost their uniqueness. :(

    After I saw my fourth or fifth one, I said jokingly to my parents that I was going to stop taking pictures of them... now I'm really considering it...lol.

    Just now: A Bordeaux (?) Gallardo southbound on LSD.

    Looked nifty, never saw that color on any Lambo. I'm sure it has a fine Italian name, but to me it looked like Bordeaux metallic. :)

    Maybe. In the overcast sky this morning it looked even darker. Like red wine, but shiny.

    Spotted this morning: Dark blue metallic Elise on N-LSD.

    Drive one and see what you feel. I loved it a great deal more from the inside. :) It goes like gang busters.

    I think we have to accept it as a cash producing car for all the yuppies who care more about ipods, climate control, GPS and automatic roofs than Pininfarina's lines. For the less aesthetically challenged there is the new 458.

    Not Ferrari or Lambo cars, but these were in the rain at about 4:30pm today in Woodridge.

    1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and a 1939 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty. Beautiful cars!

    If it was a white Silver Dawn drop-head, it had to be my friend Robert's. It's the only one I know of in the area.

    Great car and a great guy!

    The first one, Rosso Metis.

    PS: Haven't spotted any exotics here in Switzerland so far, but lots of cars I have never seen anywhere. So all "exotics' to me. :)
