Default want to move to cali...

for the 5 days if you total the cash $ amount of the sports/exotic cars i saw...it would be worth more than the chicago auto show. we counted and saw a porshe every 18 seconds for 2 hours (it was an average, because once we went one minute without seeing any and then saw 4 togeather at a stop light). and im dead serious. these are some pics i got.

Thats the nice part of cali wherever that was. La Jolla in So Cal seems to be a nice spot for cars. Porsches and Benz's mostly. Cali is not good for our cars.....emissions

I live in chicago land area and in the past year the only exotic cars that I've seen on the road was a Lamberghini Marcielago that I saw today, Dj Markski's GT2 and my freinds Ferrari 355 spider. So when it comes to exotic cars chicago is not the place to find them and weather SUX here.

lol, while driving down hollywood blv. (i think)...anywho then we saw all these police cars and these people picketing infront of a store saying "don't buy fur" and "stop killing animals" etc...i @them. i bet over 50% had a big mac for lunch or own a leather jacket/leather shoes/swade etc... and what i wonder is why did that one particular store get protesting? there were hundreds of other stores on that strip that sold fur...and who the hell needs a fur coat in California! It can't get that cold

Did you know that there are more Porsches in Southern California then everywhere else in the world combined?


As far as not alot of nice cars in Chicagoland its all where you are. I worked in Oakbrook and all the time saw Ferrari 360s, a few 550s, and a 575, a orange Murcielago(im friends with the owner), a red Enzo, Lambos, Bentleys, a Rolls or two, countless M5s, SL55s, and more corvettes and fbodies than you can shake a stick at. Best part was I got to drive about 90% of the cars I saw at work(no im not a valet).
