    I was stunned too by that picture but I can't say whether that guy is a fool or the ultimate hardcore owner on whom Enzo himself would have been proud of.

    At any rate it is a super rare shot and I wish we had more/better pics of that situation. I'd be happily putting that into our next calendar.

    I can go by and take a better picture, it hasn't moved in a week, the only thing is I don't have a camera so it'll be a BB picture, so I don't know if you'd want it in a calender though..I'll try!

    White Bentley Continental Flying Spur entering 94 from Old Orchard Around 8:30. Too many Bentley's and too many exotics 'round there, lol. Is anyone going to take out their Ferraris during this coming week's warmup?

    Today I saw that Porsche again, and I waited for the owner to come out and revv it, but he never came. I took a longer video, though, and I'll upload it probably in the coming week?

    Today my parents were downtown, and saw a white Dodge Viper ACR. Lucky them. No pics, dad couldn't get the iPhone cam out in time :/

    I can't wait until we can start a new forum called "spring spotters!"

    I saw a Panamera this morning ^___^
    Nothing special 'bout that, though. Here's a link to my newest video, though

    Taken Summer 2010 with my phone:

    A BEAUTIFUL blue Porsche GT3 or GT2. (Not sure, had a big wing and black rims.) The color was incredible.

    Spotted an orange Gallardo SL. First around noon in Highwood. Then again in the late afternoon in front of Le Colonial. Not sure if it was the same car or not.

    Also in front of Hugo's was a white Maserati Grand Sport.

    Had dinner in my old hood tonight, so I parked in the building I used to live in. There was a guy that during my 7 years there went through about a dozen F-Cars, a ton of P-Cars, AMGs and so on, he typically kept 4 cars in the lot (at about $400 per car, per month). When I moved out his stable included an Enzo, CGT, 575M and Bentley GT. I walked by his parking spot and saw this yellow ferrari. Not sure if it is still the same owner, but I will say, that parking space has a strong blood line.

    Just moved down to River North Area. While out on Saturday, saw a black Rolls Royce Drop Head (with the top up) at Orleans and Superior. Great neighborhood for spottings!

    I believe I saw the same car on Division between Ashland and Damen around 3:30 or 4:00. I think it was an RS, and it appeard to be Mexico Blue with no decals... Loved it. Also, the seats were still in the plastic coverings.
