IL IL Spotted Zone

Since it's July and people are still posting in the April/May zone thread, and there's a June/July zone thread too, how about simplifying this with this plain olde IL Spotted Zone?

7/7 - Black headed North on LaGrange by 143rd in Palos

I think that's the one I see a lot in my neighborhood... one of the few that returns a wave around here. Actually, I still rarely see another '8 in the Algonquin/LITH/Crystal Lake area... where the hell is everyone?

I live in Antioch (near Gurnee) and drive into the downtown area (Erie/Orleans) for work most days of the week...it's a long drive into work but I don't commute during rush hour times (I make a nice living by being a WORKING musician) and I LOVE driving my 8.
I don't see too many 8's in my neck of the woods although a near neighbor just bought a Shinka so there's another in Antioch, but that's all that I know of in my area...and while driving to and from the city I still don't see 8's around much at all.

Mazda is replacing the engine. The car should be back in my hand in a week. Now thats:
1- Engine
1- Transmission Rebuild
1- Clutch & Pressure Plate
2- Cat Converters
many misc. (Plugs & Flashes)

You will spot me at JGTC in August (if the Mazda gods are willing).

8/1- Oakbrook Terrace parking garage. I was wondering what the heck was going on here. I drove through the parking garage headed to a meeting and there were 8's everywhere. Two reds w/Mazdaspeed kits, one red, one blue and a green. All with MFG plates. Turns out it's the MMWO (Mazda Midwest Operations) office.

Thanks to the guy who left me the Zoom-Zoom shirt!
