FLAIR UNDER THE RAIN

The iconic song “Never Rains in Southern California” could never be applied to Houston, where the best forecasters maybe only one-third of the time can anticipate what will happen in our city in the next 24 hours. So a day that was supposed to be sunny and beautiful, ended up pouring from the moment we started the rally from Lamborghini Houston to HARAS Hacienda to Part I of the 2023 Edition of the HOUSTON EXOTIC AUTO FESTIVAL.

This year we made it a combined event with the first release in Houston of F.E.I.’s (Fédération Equestre Internationale) famed Jumper Horse Competition. After all, what could be more luxurious and fun to line up together than exotic automobiles and fine horses?

Great pastries from The Woodlands’ Levure and Galindo’s finest Colombian coffees were ready at Lamborghini to start the experience before the rally.

Although most registered vehicles didn’t show up because of the rain, a good number of beautiful exotics actually did, including Lambos, McLarens, Ferraris, and even a movie-style armored super truck, to enjoy a great Sunday driving under the rain, and to be part of a fun social gathering with friends and great food when arriving at HARAS. We had a good time, while trophies were awarded to the three best vehicles at the show. Although there wasn’t much to choose from, the three winners deserved the recognition: A Lamborghini, a Ferrari, and a “Fast and Furious”-style armored truck (People’s Choice Award).
