JDM Chicago has been emerging as one of the biggest car groups around Chicago. This spring opener meet was meant to start things off right for 2011. The weather was less than idea, but the turnout was great. It’s not often that you see a modified Hon…
Pictures from Supercar Saturdays – May 7, 2011
Supercar Saturdays is a meeting of car enthusiasts from around Chicago. You’re never quite sure what you’ll see there because it could be something as exotic as a Ferrari 599 GTO or something as obscure as a Toyota Starlet. Last year, there were issues…

Every year, the Central States Region of the Ferrari Club of America starts off the driving season with a drive through Northern Illinois that starts in Barrington, IL and ends in Lake Geneva, WI. I would love to go through back roads in a Ferrari, but…
Pictures from Tuner Galleria 2011

British Car Festival 2010
I attended the 24th annual British Car Festival over the weekend. This show turned out to be much larger than I expected. British cars are not that common, so I did not expect so many cars. The show took place at Oakton Community College in Des Plain…
