Yesterday was the DUB Show in Chicago. If you click here you can see all of my pictures from the 2008 DUB Show in Chicago. It’s Chicago’s best show for people that like wheels to be at least 20 inches in diameter. The cars in this show are all about big wheels, bright paint, and loud sound systems. This lime-green Jeep Cherokee SRT-8 is a good example of those three traits. Old school rides such as this orange Buick Skylark Custom were also a big part of the show. One of the wildest cars at the show was this convertible Chrysler 300 with a Phantom front-end. Some people just use their car as a way to express their interests like this Spiderman-inspired Pontiac GTO. Overall the car show was pretty impressive and it was nice to see new ideas that were coming out by guys really trying to be original. The thing that really stole the show was Ludacris’s performance on stage. Ludacris performed many of his classic hits and newer material with Shawna, Block XChange, and Shawty Low. I got lucky and got a close picture of Shawty Low walking through the crowd after his performance. In the end he tossed out his t-shirt to one lucky fan and that wrapped up 2008’s DUB Show. Ludacris really knows how to put on a show and he definitely gave the people their money’s worth.

Today was one of the car shows in the Hooters Cup Series that is going on around Chicago. This one took place at the Hooters in Schaumburg. One of the surprises of the show was a DeTomaso Pantera that was at the show. It was not the only Italian sports car at the show though. There were a few Ferraris that entered the show too. There were plenty of Mustangs at the show, but I think the show was mostly dominated by Chevys. It was a pretty good turnout for such a small show. I suggest checking it out.

I posted up my pictures from the 2008 Chi-Town Kruze. The event is the biggest cruise in Chicago and had a car show afterwards at Soldier Field. Hundreds of Chicagoland's best classic cars were downtown for this event and it was a beautiful day.

Today was the annual Millennium Car Show. The show was put together along with the Ferrari Owners Club so there was a diverse group of cars. The first thing to catch my eye when I came to the show was a red Porsche Carrera GT. Every inch of the Carrera GT shows great attention to detail and that they obviously spared no expense. The Ferraris were plentiful, but this black 348 Challenge really caught my eye. The guys from Chicago Z came together so there were plenty of Z cars and G35s at the show. It did end up raining today so I left pretty early, but I still got to see some great cars.

Last week there was a cruise around Chicagoland for Audi and Volkswagen owners. Most participants were members of VWVortex or Audizine. The day started with a meet in a Hooters parking lot in Schaumburg. There were some very nice Audis that showed up. Two of the ones that stood out the most to me were a silver Audi A4 and a blue Audi A3. Volkswagens made up most of the cars there and they ranged from older VWs to the newer ones. There were also a few unexpected cars that showed up. This Toyota Supra is a good example.

After waiting for late comers we headed off for Chicago. We went East to Chicago and then took Lower Wacker to Lake Shore Drive.

After leaving Chicago we went north to Dawes Park in Evanston. That was the last stop for me because I was getting tired, but it was lots of fun.
