Default Cool Experience

Was driving home from work tonite on the NJ TPKE crusing in 6th gear doing between 70-75 when up from behind me I notice a Lambo Gallardo coming up fast. Guy slows down and stays behind me for a while. Then he gets into the next lane and is just cruising along with me for the rest of the trip till I had to take my exit.

Was funny watching people slow down to stare at the cars. At least we gave them a nice treat driving home. Was fun for me too.

The Lambo has a nice sounding exhaust. I heard it over our stock one. I was wishing I had something louder to show off!

Anyways here's to the guy in the Lambo for making it a fun drive up the TPKE.

Just wanted to share my story.

I had some guy in an old rusty Nova flip me a bird on I-65 2 days ago. Not Vette related, but still cool. That just made the rest of my day.
