Midnight Chicago Cruise

Here are some pictures that were taken of my car while on a cruise early Sunday morning. The pictures were taken by PhlypSide, the head organizer over at JGTCA.com.

They tend to do that alot in Chicago. There is always something spelled out with the lights on various buildings. When the White Sox won the world series they spelled out sox on one of the buildings.

Now if you don't know why they would put 9-11 on the the side of a building the weekend before September 11th then I suggest you do a search on the internet.

Yes, I was there too.

Taken a month ago:

These were taken from a strip of land that juts out into Lake Michigan in Chicago. The land contains a former downtown airport and the Adler Planetarium. These were taken next to the planetarium at about 2 am.

Yes, Phlypside the organizer of JGTCA sold his Supra and bought a Elise. He claims it's a Toyota because of the engine.
