I can't help but brag a little.

In two weeks, I will be up close and personal with:

Bentley Continental GT Speed
Dodge Challenger SRT8
Dodge Viper SRT10

Ford Mustang Bullitt
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lotus Exige

Maserati
Mercedes-Benz 2009 SL550
Roush Mustang

i can't promise I'll get to drive all of them, but still... how 'bout that.

Today's Chicago car tally, or, how I know summer's here:

One orange Lamborghini Murcielago, Roosevelt Avenue in Glen Ellyn.
One yellow Lamborghini, Ditka's in Oakbrook Terrace. (Who takes a Lambo to Mike Ditka's restaurant? Tool.)
Red Ferrari 430, Shell at Naperville and East Loop in Wheaton (as in, down the road from my apartment).

Et moi? I was just psyched that I pulled my GTI out of storage and took it for a spin.

In other news: I finally coughed up for my own IPASS toll transponder; this "venturing out on my own" thing could get interesting. I walked to Barnes & Noble to check out Claudine Ko's story in the current issue of "Bust"; while I was there, I caught up on my feature competition in "eurotuner" and "PVW." I'm highly entertained that "eurotuner" somehow weaseled a long-term 135 from BMW.
