We're Out Here In the Western "Burbs"

We, and Smartie -silver and black, are out here in Yorkville enjoying riding around with the top down today.

I've seen a couple of "bumble bee" smart cars on the way to and from Joliet. Recently saw a Smart Car in Aurora area and another bumble bee heading south on Hwy 47 from Sugar Grove.

Yorkville ay?!
I am in Plainfield with my black on black passion.

Anyone in the Plainfield area interested in a small meet?

If so, I have an idea.

Starting last night, every Tuesday over summer downtown Plainfield closes off lockport rd (the main st.) from 5pm-9pm for a car show of sorts. It is mostly classic cars, but I parked up there last night, and the attention Buster, my smart received was crazy! Last year I saw a blue on black one parked out there a few times...

But anyways, I think it would be pretty cool if we got a few of us together to really showcase what smart has to offer every once and a while.. PLUS, I could use help answering all the questions.

email me if you have any questions jmlibby@tmail.com

I-94 mayhem

I drove to Chicago last Sunday on I-94 from the Gurnee entrance and I saw doubles of a lot of cars.

First was 2 minis chasing a Ferrari in a traffic jam.

Second was 2 Loeber smarts, one silver Brabus, the other was a white passion or pure. They were within 300ft of each other and they both disappeared onto the same street.

Third was 2 more minis, one was a convertible.

The fourth was a class of Civics heading in the same direction but splitting off at I-290.

The fifth and final was 2 black Mustangs running side-by-side, engaging in the "who's got the louder engine" game.

The sixth happened to be another GMC Envoy, so I followed him instantaneously creating a SUV convoy.

I don't see too many out in the West Burbs (when I happen to be out there), maybe wrong time of day.

A few pop up now & then...

I've only seen a few out here in Tinley/Orland area. I have a Blue/Silver Cabrio. Rare to see the masses...and I like that way. It's nice to have a unique car that many don't have. Attention getter that's for sure!!!

I'll be in Joliet on July 18, competing in the Warrior Dash. Feel free to come by and say hi. Look for the smart with the muddy couple inside
