I hope not. I don't go by that way every day, which is a bummer because I wanted to stop and check it out - see if it had a plate. If it was abandoned, I was thinking I'd try to find out what was going to happen to it. Maybe I'd need to rescue it!

I've had a rather long dry spell when it comes to spotting crossfires.

Happened to see a light blue roadster go past on Roosevelt Rd in West Chicago today. The front wheels had so much brake dust, they looked black.

My business is in W. Chicgao but that wasn't me. My car is a little dirty, however, I clean the wheels all of the time.

Stopped at the Starbucks in Crystal Lake this morning, and while have my coffee outside, this AB roadster parks next to me. It turned out to be Bruce (dtd14) , one of our CICCI members.

2 new sightings, and that black SRT6 is still sitting at the gas station with the tow sticker. I stopped and checked it out. Someone left a note on it, offering to buy it and pay the towing fees. I got the plate number and noted a parking permit from a complex in a neighboring town, that expires May 2010 - so I'm guessing he got it in May of this year. Gonna go try to find the owner tomorrow.

My new sightings...

Blue coupe going north on Kirk Road, just north of Butterfield around 7:30 this morning. We both turned east onto Fabyan parkway.

Saw a red coupe going east on 159th street, around Homer Glen. Probably around 6 pm.

Had a blue roadster behind me on Fabiyan Parkway tonight coming home. We both turned left on Kirk.

Was that you BSB?

That was me.

I backed off a bit once on Kirk, the police like to wait right across from the Aldi HQ and there was the guy on the motorcycle.

I normally take that route between 5:45 & 6:15. Perhaps we'll meet again.

I also saw the tail end of a coupe while watching ABC 7 news yesterday.
They were showing footage of Obama (ugh!) leaving his bithday dinner.

I leave work right around 6... maybe 6:15-ish. I work at the NAPA paint store on Roosevelt, just east of Fabiyan, so I go home that way every day too. If I see a cop, he's usually off the road where you cross under that pedestrian walkway thing. ... that's why I have a good RADAR detector. : )

I'm usually only in the car if it's raining, or supposed to rain. Otherwise, I'm on my bike.

I was at home, in bed, sleeping until 9:30-ish. I was supposed to meet someone there "In the morning". I made it there by 11:30-ish - which counts as morning.

I see XFires pretty regularly, but don't usually report it here.

I was going south on 83 from Willowbrook the other day, saw a white coupe.

Where my friend works, there is a black Limited coupe from Indiana in the parking lot. Stock wheels with the center caps missing, blacked out tail lights.

Oak Lawn Mazda Outlet on Cicero ave, just north of 95th street has a red roadster for sale.
