Default Where are all the chicagoland C7's??

Besides mine and the C7s at the dealership and petes showstopper white stingray at the shop , I have yet to see another driving around. Maybe when the cruise nights and cars and coffee start, cant wait for more driving weather!

I saw a red coupe with a temporary "new" plate on it Saturday about 745PM East bound on Roosevelt Rd. in Lombard last night and this morning at about 1130 saw/passed a yellow coupe that was East bound on Army Trail Road near Bloomingdale.

They're out there.
