Default What are the ODDS?

Although it has taken me a while to get around to posting this, I just couldnt stop thinking about it. On the way to work about 2-3 weeks ago, I was driving down I-45S into Houston (as I do everyday- which sucks) when i noticed another RS 1.0 TC coming up beside me. So OK, out of 2500 RS 1.0's in the entire country, i suspect somewhere around 100ish reside in Houston. So out of the hundreds of thousands of cars in houston, and the thousands of cars going into downtown at THAT time on THAT freeway I happen to see one the road ... not unthinkable, but not exaclty statistically likely. In the 9 or so months that I have been driving the car, i think i have only seen about 3-4 RS1.0s previous to that day (and probably at least one of them was a repeat sighting). This girl (driving the RS 1.0) ended up driving almost all the way to work with me, but exited 290N while i continued on 610W. As soon as I got near the 610 - I10 interchange, what do i see??? ANOTHER RS 1.0 TC. Ok, so now im a little shocked, and I'm having trouble getting over the odds of this. I exit as the RS 1.0 continues on the freeway heading towards the Galleria. When I arrive at work I notice there is ANOTHER RS 1.0 TC parked on the top of the two-story parking garage. This TC stayed in the same spot for about a week, absolutely NEVER moving! It just disappeared one evening and has never returned. (someone please explain that one to me)

3 RS 1.0 TC sightings in one morning; I was stunned. Has anyone else had this happen to them???

I am not a statistician -- but I figured that if there are 100 of those out of 500,000 cars in Houston and you saw 5,000 cars a day, you should only being seeing 1 each day -- if they were spread out evenly. So the chances of you seeing 3...

amazing. I don't think I've seen any in Tulsa. You must have a lot around you.
