Default Does this always happen to you?

So coming into houston in my goat and driving around I saw nothing cool at all.

But today right after dropping off my goat I was on 610 leaving town and sure as **** a bright shiny orange lambo comes flying up on me, IN MY WIFES KIA! So there I am flying 105mph down 610 in a kia keeping up with this guy in the lambo so we can take some pictures lol!!! And he seemed game too by the way he kept nailing it in the straights.

So after the lambo I was a little pissed I didnt have the goat, and sure enough here is a list of all the cool **** I pulled up beside on the way home an hour north of austin.

White C6 that was slammed on nice wheels on I10
Black Lotus Exige
Audi R8 right outside austin
Aston Martin DB8/9??? i dunno which but it was the james bond car
Some cool looking Jag that had a supercharged badge on the back, and his license plate said "TACO" LOL
Like 10 more vettes, a loud black cobra and a group of 5 STI's that thought they were the ****.

So does that happen to yall too? Always see busloads of awesome **** when your in your beater?

Oh and any of the H-town crew know who the guy in the orange lambo with black wheels is?

It happens to me all the time. I actually go out looking for someone to do some runs with. Like usual, cant find anyone. Get in a friends car to go to the gas station, and then they all come out. Vetts, Camaros, T/A's, STI's, and what not. Sucks dont it

I drove for a living so it happen to me a lot. I would see exotic cars on the daily and be stuck in my work truck. That or there would be to much traffic to get a race. I was right next to a F430 friday and there was a **** ton of cars in front of us.

I can't ever find anyone to **** around with when I'm in my car. I've tried everything, drive really slow and wait on people to catch me, drive fast to try and find someone, even park in a parking lot on the access road and watch traffic passing.

As SOON as I get in my gf's taurus, all the **** that I was looking for comes out. Vettes, exotics, ricers, mustangs, etc...

I think that was my friend in the Orange LP560 you ran into. Did it have paper plates on it?
Funny thing is that he was on his way to meet his cousin who just bought a yellow Super leggera a couple of days ago.
