In GTA 4, does driving a particular vehicle make it appear more often?

Usually online, when playing with my friends, we have spent a little over an hour searching every corner of the map looking for a particular car/motorcycle with absolutely no luck. Yet, after much insistence, we find that precise vehicle and soon after, we have no trouble finding another one right away.
I remember looking for a Sanchez for over forty minutes without even seeing them in the street. Then, when I found one and got on it, I remember seeing three within a minute.
This is consistent enough for my friends and I to rely upon it when searching for vehicles "We only have to find one, then, we'll all have our own". I don't know if this happens to everyone or if it is just a glitch or a coincidence. Maybe there is a bug in the coding or some strange pattern. Anyways, it has been bugging me for some time now and I wanted to know whatever mechanism is behind this phenomenon.
