Il. Spotted Zone For January 2005
Well November is history. So here goes

I saw a Black 8 on 88 going westbound. I was behind you for a while in the other black 8.

Anyone here? This was early in the week.

If it was in the morning between 7:15 & 7:30, it could have been me. I get on at 355 and off at Naperville Rd. I would normally be difficult to follow. :D

You guys are right in my neighborhood.
Saw a Titanium RX-8 with rear spoiler and appearance package travelling westbound on 75th street near Naper blvd around 8:30 AM today (Wed). A young lady with dark hair was driving. I was driving my CL.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

You've read it here before. IT'S THE TIRES.
Get some winter or all-season tires under the car and you'll be good to go.

My 8 is now considered garage kept for this winter. Just went out and bought a 2002 Jeep Liberty. I'm ready for this upcoming storm tomorrow. :D

Question
Saw a Red 8 on WGN TV News at Nine. Stuck in the snow with people pushing it in the back. Anyone? I think they said it was in Orland.

Spotted on I-355 Northbound in the left lane on 2/16 @ 5:15 pm. Another Black RX8 driven by a woman with blond hair. If your here, I was the other black 8 that was behind you and pulled along side for a short time.
