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.

You won't be seeing me for a little while. Mine's in the shop again. This time they think the engine needs to be replaced.

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!
