I was visiting a friend in Chicago on Sunday the 4th and we went in my V-Red 8 (only about 700 miles on it, first road trip) to another of his friend's house for dinner. I can't say just where I was, their house is somewhere by O"Hare. When we left and were still in the residential area we came to a stop at an intersection at the same time as another V-Red 8 on the other side. We both did left turns and went in opposite directions. I think there were two women in the other car. I thought it was a cool coincidence at the time.

Neither car nor driver was spinning so I doubt it was you. We both honked.

Saw a black RX-8, female driver, northbound on Washington Street in Naperville just south of Bailey. I was trying to pull out of the Shell station in my red 8. Looked like you saw me. I waved.

Wednesday the 14th, about 8AM, northbound Kenedy from the loop to the spilt, VR driven by a blond female. Unfortunately I was driving a rental, so didn't think waving would make much sense..............
