Neat Car day in Texas
I was in Austin the past couple of days. We stopped and had breakfast at a place on the south side which is I the hippy end of town (Kerby Lane Cafe on Lamar for the locals). As we were ordering a Lamborghini Diablo GT pulled into the parking lot. Man it sounded GOOD! The guy and his wife got out to have breakfast and parked it right in the middle of all of the other cars. Fortunately, with those scissor doors, he didn't have to worry about having space to open the doors.
The one that I saw today looked exactly like this. Actually, I think this is it as I found this pic in a thread talking about it being in Austin.  Then on the way back to Houston just outside of town on I-10 I was passed by a McLaren MP4-12C that looked just like this.  Yes, both cars were very similar colors.

Looks dangerous. Did any of your cops panic and shoot at it?

That flat stretch of I10 just before entering Katy is a good place to stretch the legs. ON many occasions I have wound it up through there along with a parade of cars.

I believe it's a replica; a real Diablo but added GT items including the engine from what I understand as the GT wasn't allowed into the US).
Its a common car at the Ferrari-club breakfasts in Austin
