The Unicorn sighting thread.

Arcimoto. Had to look this one up. Spotted on the 101 freeway in Oxnard, CA.

Rear mounted Acura V6. Being towed for final tune.

I saw a Mitsuoka Kei van in Hamburg Pa today. Couldn't take a pic in traffic. I think they are Sambar based, but not sure. I did not get to see where it was registered, PA has a bad record for pulling titles lately.

Those were built locally (well, across the freeway in Shelbyville) and are a fairly common sight here. I actually test-drive a prototype some years back. They've gone belly-up now. Big plans to build a factory in a disused fabrication shop, and then *poof*, gone like the wind with not even the website remaining. Seems like a pretty typical fate for startups making big claims about revolutionizing transportation.

I don't think this is cheating, while it was taken behind a Porsche dealership it was still in public, and not exactly the normal fare you'd expect...

I went to get some stock Forester XT parts to get Gotharu going again. The stock parts were available because they did a full STi swap into their factory WRB Forester.

In reply to Brett_Murphy (Agent of Chaos) :

I had a coworker who did that, same color even. We have a pic somewhere of it towing a bike engined Locost across the mountains for a track day. Both cars were on track. 

Speaking of track days, these were at a local fun day on Saturday.

I never see them and I quite like them. I tried to buy one, but alas no 2nd gear syncro

Not long after that, as I went through Charlotte, a survivor 1st Gen Corvair passed me quickly in the rain!

What's the significance of the Tarleton badge? Google is failing me.

Texas University is all I found..... I was close uping the Gurney decal.

I presume this car gives no quarter.

In reply to MadScientistMatt :

No, it was the dealer....

I saw a whole transporter full of these on I-16 near Macon two week ago.  Apparently they're French built and use BMW powerplants.

In reply to MadScientistMatt :

It is the owners' last name.  I've known him since the 80s from the Georgia Triumph Association.

Subaru Sambar Dias Classic seems like a spot.

I see a few Grenadiers around here. They're like a Land Rover defender from a video game where they didn't want to pay for the rights.

I was on the fence about buying a Grenadier. I could overlook some things (e.g. lack of adaptive cruise control, no keyless entry/start) but ultimately I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to spend 80k on something from a brand-new manufacturer with no nearby dealers that's based on a British copy of an old British design, with a German powerplant, and assembled in France.

(I bought a GX550 instead.)

In reply to Mike (Forum Supporter) Now I know exactly what i saw in Hamburg PA a few weeks ago. It was not this Subaru Sambar , and it was a little darker color, but it had that face.

I saw (and heard) one of the new chargers yesterday.  It may have been one of the electric ones.

I think they are weird for some reason.

Edit...  they are apparently ALL electric at the moment.

This one sounded like a hemi.  Sort of.

I've been seeing a lot of Vinfast SUVs east of Toronto recently, but the sightings seem to be most concentrated around Oshawa so it could just be GM testing a bunch of them...
