My favorite was the red one I saw at the hospital in Des Plaines. It was amazing!!! I have also seen one downtown. I saw one in Arizona and a few in California. Otherwise, it's a rare car to spot!

I always miss the 612s. Three in Illinois, one in Wyoming, and one in Minnesota. I really hope to catch one this year.

I've seen a Rapide downtown, and that is it in IL. The older Vanquish I've seen in Palatine is awesome though but I don't know if it is still here. Also there is a black 612 Scaglietti I have seen twice in Palatine.

We have an Aston dealer here, but I've actually only seen a Rapide in the 'Grove, which is quite surprising to me. And here it's quite the opposite. You could go a year without seeing a single Lambo, but if you don't see at least three Ferraris a year something is wrong.

Well usually most of the nicer cars come from Inverness and Barrington people who drive through Palatine. It's hard to say, but I wouldn't be surprised seeing a decent amount of Lamborghinis. For some reason, I see quite a few in Palatine. Also, Ferrari's and Rolls Royces occasionally too. Don't see many Aston Martins in Palatine though. Only about 5 that I can think of.

We already have a 12C that I continue to miss, a TVR, a few California's and 458s, lots of Bentleys and Maseratis, and even a rare Italia Spyder (check my page for pics of it). I hope it turns out to be true. Anything good coming up for Palatine?

I heard a rumor that we have an Aventador 50th coming to Downers Grove for a Ferrari collector soon, so I hope it happens. And yes you're right, Illinois is getting better for us ExoticSpotters.

I'm sure you will, because Illinois is increasingly becoming a better place to spot cars! And if you ever go to Monterey Car Week, I guarantee you'll see at least one!

I'd love to spot one! I've seen one before, but you obviously can't post cars from Continental Autosports.
