A couple weekends ago I was in Chicago attending my to-be son-in-law’s master’s degree graduation from DePaul University. It was a fun and exciting event, and we were
lucky that the weather was absolutely perfect.
Too, a perfect weekend for all the auto nuts to be out and about, and
they were en force. Saw a lot of nice cars in Chicago that weekend, including a Lamborghini. I'm not as familiar with Italian cars as I am German varieties. I could not see myself buying an exotic
Italian sports car because I’m too happy and comfortable with German
engineering and true to the simple elegance of Porsche design. Nevertheless, the
Italian brands, and I’m talking Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini, are
pure eye candy to look at. They simply
scream “Look at me!!” You can't help but look, and look again.
Here is what we saw on North Michigan Avenue on a lovely
Saturday:
If I did own one, I’m not sure I would have taken my
Lamborghini out on the Chicago streets in June, which were undergoing
significant repairs in the wake of the brutal winter we had in North America this year,
particularly in the Midwest. Come to think of it I wouldn't take the 911 out either on such beat up roads. But I
suppose the warm weather had drawn everyone out and the chance to drive a
Lamborghini when is sunny and 70+ degrees would lead anyone to throw caution to the wind.
