Saw 2 Seattle GTS's in one commute

I rarely ever see any Peppers on my daily commute. But tonight, coming home heading north on 167 I was being followed by those distinct headlights. There was quite a bit of traffic but I could tell this driver wanted to get past me. Traffic cleared and I merged to the right to see what type of Cayenne was following me. I was expecting the driver to pull up along side of me so we could exchange a pleasant thumbs-up but this guy just did a quick fly-by and left me with my thumb sticking up in the air all by itself It was a gorgeous white (somehow clean in all this recent rain) GTS! Well, kinda peeved about not getting a return wave I manually dropped down to 3rd gear and proceeded to pass the guy with ease. My '05 might only be up 30hp but you can't deny the extra torque in the biturbos. I slowed after showing him my taillights (honestly, I wasn't even sure he was racing) and he swerved out into the HOV lane over the double white lines (illegal to cross and illegal b/c you need a passenger) and took off. And that was that.

The second Pepper I saw was on the 405N just b/f the I90 intersection. He was in the right lane making an exit. Again, it was a new GTS only in the fastest color (black). I waved but, again, no return or even a glance. Oh well, maybe the Cayenne crowd isn't into those types of exchanges. When I had the CTSV people would flag you down to talk cars. Maybe it's an American muscle car thing?
