    A beautiful dark blue GranTurismo with red interior drove past me in a funeral procession in Niles.

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, this will lead to something even better for you. I'll keep an eye out in the city here for any openings.

    I couldn't believe my eyes today around 5 pm on 355 heading north when I saw a Black Enzo heading towards me. I was heading south and he was heading north... looked amazing. I had NO idea there was a black Enzo out this way.... anyone know the owner? If so we need to talk :)

    I'm pretty sure he lives in the lake forest area, It's probably the car that was in the service area at lfsc for a few months.

    Just a guess, but it was probably going home after a day at Autobahn. This one is from the North Shore area. At one point, there were 2 local black Enzos. The other one was near St. Charles, in Wayne.

    No front plates on your 911 in the city? I had to put one on my Z after $100 in tickets.

    I also had a few tickets for no license plate ( 2 within 15 mns while parked at the same spot !!! ). I just always forget to ask the dealer to put it on. Thanks for the heads up, ill ask them now while the car is still there.

    It is a front rock deflector. It directs road rocks up onto the front hood, windshield and back deck. Also, only on occasion, it will stop the writing of a ticket. :D

    AFAIK in Germany you can actually have your front license plate as a "decal" that you can stick on your front wing. Still looks ugly, but at least it is mounted without drilling holes into wings and stuff.

    It's a clerical mistake. I really only have 2,387 posts. :)

    Oops, already another one. Darn.

    BMW 635 CSi always was the sweet spot for me. A car so beautiful, it should have come from an Italian shop. :)
