Just got back from Chicago. I had a great long weekend there and I hope you guys didn't miss me too much... I'll have plenty of cool pics to share in this thread in the next few days.

Sorry it didn't work to meet up, Raul. I couldn't convince my GF to stick around much later since she still has to drive drive back to Sioux Falls from Minneapolis tonight. It would've been great to meet you but I'm sure I'll make it back to Chicago soon. I'm really bummed I didn't make it to Gold Coast Bentley/Lamborghini but I got to look in the windows a little on the way to dinner last night.

Tavern on Rush was one of the best meals I've ever had. The atmosphere there was great, as was the service. We had a great table right in the corner by the windows on the 2nd floor with a great view of Rush St.

For dinner on Saturday, we went to Giordano's for pizza. Best pizza ever.

Oh, and our hotel room at the Allerton was really nice too! We had a great view of the historic Chicago water tower and Michigan Ave. I'll post a ton of pics tomorrow. I'm editing photos from Millenium Park at the moment.

Thanks! Hopefully I won't disappoint even though I don't have many car shots. I snagged a few of a nice 997 Turbo cab and a Panamera 4S I kept seeing driving around.
