played w/ a gallardo

On the way to my boat. I see a yellow Gallardo coming from a distance on Us1. I slow down as I am by myself. He goes by me doing 80 in a 55. The road opens in between cities so i followed for a 1/2 mile. He gets in the right lane and I slide up next to him. Give him the thumbs up / nice car! I ease on the throttle and he jumps next to me. We get even. I downshift to 3rd and get a little brake boost spool time and he guns it. I get even and all the sudden I am car 1/2 ahead then he almost catches @120 a little into 4th. We shut down and he gives me thumbs up as we enter New Symrna (next town. I think he either granny shifted or choked a gear hence the quick jump ahead. I'll take it either way. A little fun w/ a nice guy. I would say he was in his 50's.

That's rare. Most exotic owners drive like sissies.

Hey damn it! We don't street race on this forum. Even if it's 3:30a.m and it's just you and the other guy. Some little kid from the projects selling rocks might jump out from the bushes!

This is obviously a joke and is ment for the guys that are so against a "spirited" run every now and then but still post in this section.
