Yes, street legal racecar. I always loved the wheels. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I had a rare sighting last week too, in fact I thought some had put Lexus badging on a Toyota Corolla. It was a HS200r.

July 10th
July 10th - Ferraris on Oak Street. Join the club on ritzy Oak Street in Chicago for an elegant showing of Ferraris from the 1950's through the 488 Spider. Displaying your car requires submitting an application as we have far more demand for this event than space allows. Del Fresco's Double Eagle Steakhouse will provide food and the shops on Oak Street will provide much opportunity for your wife to burn up your credit card. Expect the red carpet treatment will full barricades surrounding the event. The Oak Street Council has the funding 100% committed to make this event happen for certain this year. The earlier you register the stronger the likelihood we will have space for your car.

A rare sighting for me is an IS, that isn't a 250.

I see loads of IS 350 here. Even a Lexus LFA from time-to-time.

Seeing exotic supercars here is very common.

Ain't that the truth. Though I think a GS250 is a rarity as well.

very cool! I know the individual in the Milwaukee area who has an F40 as well as other vintage and newer Ferraris.

He took me around Road America in his '78 BBLM race Ferrari (the one that was in Le Mans)
