Default Best night ever!!

Walking in downtown Chicago coming from a great dinner. See a black c7 on the street. (Oak between rush and michigan)

Walk over to car. Checking it out as the lights blink and two gentleman approach. Talking with them they let me sit in the car and check out the interior. Which was immensely impressive.



End of story

Guy turned out to be the VP of General Motors Jim Davlin and an associate.


I said to turn the NPP to sport and rev it up. He gave me a fee revs and took off. Got a little video as well.

Although that would be cool, if that was your best night ever, you need to get out and live a little....
