Yesterday, Subaru owners from around the Chicagoland area meet up in Schaumburg. Many WRX and Forester owners braved the cold and came out to talk to other lovers of the flat-four. There was only one Legacy that showed up, but it was a very nice SpecB.…

Pictures for the 2008 Chicago Auto Show
The Auto Show is over so if you didn’t go you missed out on a lot. I was glad to be able to see cars like the Lancer Evo X and the new BMW M3 for the first time. I took a lot of pictures so you can check out some of them below.…
World of Wheels in Chicago 2008
I hope you like classic cars, because I’ve got plenty. World of Wheels is one of the best classic car shows in the Chicago area. It’s actually nice that it’s in the winter too because you usually have to wait until the summer to see these kind of cars…

Neither Here Nor There
