Mine had a few gems today.

Two STi's, lime green Wrangler driven by a goddess, a red v8 G8 (took off like a shot from the light) and a Silverado Hybrid with all the badges and bowties painted the same body colour. The painted badges made the truck look pretty sharp.

Was meeting a truck like mine facing me at a single lane light waiting to turn left and I was also turning left. Some knob in a Tundra went up on the curb to go around him just as I started my left turn from the opposite direction. He then got the one finger wave from me as he looked like he did nothing wrong.

All my footwells that were filled with snow melted in the 45 degree weather. So it felt like I was driving a sinking boat in. Need to find my bilge pump

I saw an SS in the wild the other day. Very understated, but sounds angry .

Commute was boring though, only interesting thing was the Bob and Tom show being entertaining as always.

A woman in a Jeep is scientifically hotter then a woman not in a Jeep.

A guy in a semi-ratted E36 was driving like stink and tailgating pretty much every car around me.

Chicago area, starting from Bartlett to Glenview at around 7AM.

Elgin-O'Hare moving at a snail's pace, as per usual. Rt 53 North, however - that's where the fun began. Semi hits pickup truck. Cop w/ his lights going blows by that accident to get to another one a couple miles down where an Excursion decided to turn left into the guardrail. A few miles down from there at the Palatine exit, a Matrix also decided to turn left into the concrete divider. To give you an idea of Palatine Rd, it's a narrow 2-lane squeezed in between more concrete dividers. So once I got onto Palatine Rd heading east, a Corolla about 4-5 cars ahead also had the overwhelming desire to turn left. I think it's all this Daytona 500 fever. Anyway, another couple miles down, I don't even know how an SUV could have t-boned a sedan in that narrow of a space. When I finally made it to work, there was another accident where something rear-ended an Eclipse.

So 6 accidents, 9 vehicles. Nothing looked injurious.

Saw an Audi A7 followed by an 80's Audi Coupe. Then while I was waiting for the tram, a semi-trailer which thought he was in a stage rally drove by at high speed in the slush-filled streets. I have no idea how he managed to get around one of the roundabouts in that long thing..

Nothing special today, got revved at the lights by a Corolla S, who later decided to cut me off! laughed at the irony of Happy by Pharell Williams playing on the radio ..twice. Extremely foggy conditions And NJ drivers should stop driving on the left lane, the right and middle lanes are empty most of the times..

Saw nothing special until I pulled into McDonald's, lol. My friend's 79 Camaro was there. Then I saw my other friend's Integra and Godspeed11's Turbo X

I saw another Dodge Dart. Few and far between us Dart owners are.

God damnit I hate when people do that to their hoods. There's a guy in my area who did that to the hood and trunk lid of his E39 M5 and also had zebra print only on his A-pillars for some reason. It was a disaster.

Could've skated all the way to work today. Pick any camera on the SW side on 494:

Looks like a blast, glad the camera I clicked on was Yankee Doodle road too!

While that hood looks like crap, it did spark an idea. I wonder if anyone has ever done a road map wrap on their car? "Ugh, lost again, just gotta get out and look at the hood here for a second."

Drove the E30 again - passed another black E30 with vanity plates "E3087is" (CA) - was very clean looking and had the bumpers tucked in (assuming it's an 87 given the license plate). Dude driving with with girl in passenger seat bent over towards him...lol at first I thought she was going down on him but I think she was just playing with something on the center console.

Moving out of San Francisco this weekend, so the only other thing I enjoyed was driving up/down the hills on my way to the freeway. I love hearing the exhaust in the narrow streets of the city as I work my way up/down the gears. Going to miss that, but will be just outside the city and commute will be MUCH better so it's mostly good.
