Huckleberry, I am in St. Charles also, and take 64 every morning out to Oak Brook. I am on Randall on weekends and weeknights. I will wave from my Horizon Blue Clubman that I just picked up from Patrick Mini on Saturday! Happy Motoring!!!!

Wednesday, got a peace sign from a DS/B MCS at the Grayslake farmer's market.

What's up, twin car (well, aside from the roof...) you've got good taste!

Nice top down weather, too. I love taking the Circle except when people are idiots. I recall that day was a good one. Thanks for the wave!

Exchanged waves with an Gen II PW/B MC about a week or two ago. We were both headed North on the Ryan right by the Cell. It's been a long time since someone waved at me first.

Parked next to a red convertible yesterday at White Pines Golf Course, and I could tell he was an enthusiast, because he had a "Dragon" license plate frame.
