What's the coolest car related thing you've seen while driving?
My best story is when I was driving a company S10 down a road that was 2 lanes each way with a center concrete divider. I heard it coming from behind before I saw it in my rear view. I couldn't tell what it was, but from the profile, the sound, and how fast it was advancing I knew it was exotic. By the time I could identify it, the red Ferrari 360 blew right by me, with a red 355 on its ***. I pushed that poor little S10 as hard as I could, weaving through traffic as the Ferraris pulled further away until I couldn't see them anymore. A few minutes later, the Ferraris blasted past me again, but coming from the opposite direction, the 360 being closely followed by the 355.
Oh, and since I was in a company vehicle (you know with the name and phone number on the side) I got several calls from shocked motorists bitching about the idiot in the little white truck who was chasing a Ferrari.

The coolest thing that actually happened, however, would be seeing a yellow Murcielago when I was riding my Duc to work. I know a lot of you see these all the time, but it was odd for a town of 5000 in WI.
Another time, driving through Chicago, or rather sitting in traffic, a modded silver S4 came flying by everyone on the shoulder. One of the baddest exhausts I've ever heard.

I see Maseratis, Ferraris, Vipers, Porsches on a weekly/biweekly basis.
The coolest thing I think I've seen was a 16/17 year old in a brand new cobra. I was about to turn right off a highway as he was turning left onto it. Trying to impress his friend I guess he gunned it, oversteered, let-go and over corrected and drove straight into our local pepsi plant's sign.
then there's my cell phone pix...
Broke *** Lambo:
Toting bumper through window:
Dunno what to say about this guy:
Irony: icecream truck on fire
Truck lost brakes...used a row of cars to stop:

In SLC there are a lot of money cars, I see TT Porsches daily, even in bad weather, that awd must work well. See 2 or 3 Elises a week, Ferraris every other week. And probably 15-20 AMG upgraded MB's seen daily. Oh, then there is the family with 2 Ford GT's in the garage, a red one and a blue one, I heard they have some connection to one of the salt mining companies.

Oh, the coolest thing?? Other than seeing a Carrera GT on the road in New Mexico 2 years ago this week with snow still on the sides of the road, not too much cooler than that. Unless you want to count the time I saw a couple getting it on in the front seat of a Jetta 30 feet off the side of the highway just past Park City in the middle of the day.

not too long ago I saw a Lambo muria being chased by a pantera. they were "racing" but really just driving fast together.
and a few years back I got passed by a db12 while I was doing about 100 on my motorcycle, he must have been doing 120-130 because he sucked me into his lane as he passed and it sounded like a Tie fighter. so cool.

Exit 420 IH-10 Texas, Baker Rd
LOL, coolest thing...
Running from LAX to Lancaster, CA in 45 mins while racing a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo at speeds in excess of 145 MPH up the 14 Freeway. He had me on the straights, just walked me, I had him in the curves thanks to my street tires.... B F Goodrich R1's, LOL, He was not amused by the trans am leaving him in the corners, I was not amused by how badly he walked me on the straights... but we had a great time.
