Default OT: Chance siting...

Ran into one of these today... twice!

http://www.astonmartin.com/ENG/thecars/vanquishs

The first time going opposite directions, he was getting on it, and man it sounded mean. The second time, I looked up in my rear view and there he was. He proceeds to pass me, and I get on it to catch up, and give a thumbs up. We're side by side, me with my thumb up, and he doesn't even look over to acknowledge. My turn is coming up, so I just slow up and check it out. Oh well, to each his own, but just because you drive a ~250K car....

That's when you follow him to the next light and say "Hey that's a nice looking Jag!!"
