    Yes, but my dillema: every time I passed by, I was either on a bus or in a car and wasn't able to stop and photograph. Then I cycled there and it wasn't! So finally I needed new shoes, so I went driving to that DSW and when I left, I saw it, swung around, went back, and finally video'd it! Sweet! Temp plates, too.

    Fantastic! Actually, it's the 991 not 998. Where was it? And where was that 430?

    Saw the new Fisker dealer in Northfield yesterday. There was a white Karma right out front. Very cool looking car!

    Oh. I noticed, and I thought it WAS weird, because the car had been there for so long. Interesting.

    That's awesome!!!

    Also...matte black, all black, Range Rover in Downtown Evanston this afternoon. Possibly a hockey player's? Had red Hawks plates...

    That McLaren is very cool. I had a friend who bought one in the mid to late 90s. I had the fortunate opportunity to sit in it. However at the time it was not running as in cargo at Heathrow airport a forklift backed into the rear fender. During transit the electrical system became confused and the car refuse to start. This was solved by the McLaren factory in England dialing into the diagnostics for the car remotely (remember this was the mid 90s). Mclaren promptly flew out a technician from the factory in England to my friends house in Oak Brook to address the situation. Of course the other thing that sticks out from that car is the 24k Gold lined engine bay in order to better disperse heat from the massive BMW engine. really wish I could find those pictures.

    I have to return there today to get some parts and will try and remember to bring something better than my phone for a camera..

    I'll find out how long it's to be there - they also have on the main showroom side an Andretti driven F1 Mclaren.. (racy car, not street car)

    :)

    Wow, I can't wait to see it!!!!! My dream car, honestly. A McLaren F1 in Chicago? Wow. Too bad your friend got rid of it. But you are lucky to sit in it.
