    You'll see lots of stuff driving up and down Rodeo Dr. Also be sure to hit up the local weekly events.

    Alipina B7 the other day parked Erie. Some shade of blue if I recall. One thing I do know was that it was damn cold.

    I see that car parked at Elysian courtyard pretty often.
    Very striking looks (in a good way).

    Was it light blue? Was it the newer version? I saw a light blue new B7 at the Peninsula a couple weeks ago, with the Murcielago.

    What a boss. I hope to see it in action again the next time I go down there, and hopefully in the winter. Awesome that he drives it all four seasons, and it looks like he drives it often. When I get older I want a Lotus or 308 and drive it all seasons.

    I think I saw that Bentley. Was it near BGC?

    And that Camaro......woa.

    That Camaro looks like the LFA from the rear a bit.

    Also I don't think you'd want a Lotus as a daily driver... but I get where you're going with it. A Gallardo would be better though.

    Kinda.

    Why? Lotus = RWD?
    Gallardo = 4WD?

    A little bit but as long as you have the right tires on the car RWD isn't much of a problem.

    Gallardo is more comfortable than an Elise to me.

    Blue Porsche Boxster Spyder driving down Lake Cook in Deerfield today. Now thats hardcore driving a gutted car like that in this crazy cold weather.

    Also, classic BMW 6 series driving around. Surprised with all that salt on the ground since it looked mint.

    Oh, true. But as just a teen, I won't be getting either anytime soon. Lotuses are like little karts while Gallardos are like beasts! Haha.
    That's true, I bet it is more comfy.

    Oh... :/

    Yellow 458 (on a flatbed) northbound on the Edens yesterday. It was hard to miss since it was spotless.

    That and since the Elise is incredibly light, even with winter tires I image would be hard to get anywhere - maybe just add 500lbs of sand. Not to mention it sits so low, you'd be acting as a snow plow. OH, and the salt on the roads can play havoc to the fiber glass bodies. These were enough reasons to turn me away anyhow! :(

    True. Lol I see. I understand now, why no one drives their cars in the snow.
