| G500 SWB Cab Sighting
On my lunch break, i saw a Black W463 G500 Cab driving around, it didnt have the blinker mirrors, so, i'm assuming its pre 2003. Appeared to have a power top but i am not an expert with the cabs.... anyone on here own it? It was driving around Wacker Drive in Chicago, in the loop... |

That was me.
(I'm not telling the truth - but I wish I was.)
That wasn't you I saw the other day on I55 w/ 20s and whitewall tires? Actually, I think I was behind you about 1/2 a block on Fullerton heading West between Lincoln and Racine the other day.

It was Saturday if my memory is correct.
Is this the 2 tone you are talking about?
I can't figure out what the heck it is being used for or how it got that way. Odd badging, paint scheme, and a few other items that don't look right. Couldn't get close enough to get anything better. Meant to ask FJ - but forgot.

Does it belong to someone associated with the White Sox perhaps? I've heard Jerry is a pretty egotistical ass from some family members in Chicago...

It is blue and silver - not White Sox colors. Don't know about Jerry, but Bill Wirtz (Blackhawks owner) gets most of the bad press. |

Oh my mistake, I thought it was Black and Silver, although I know Black and White are the appropriate White Sox colors. As much as "I'm not a fan of good ol' Al Davis and I do see him around from time to time, at least he has enough class to drive a simple Black S600.
