The Unicorn sighting thread.

??? You're in SE Mi right? That's not a unicorn, it's a DD.

I've seen two of these in the last couple of days. This one was at Cars and Coffee on Sat and the other was an orange one on Woodward last night.

I see more Boxsters than Miatas, but a Boxster Spider is rare.

I couldn't take photos, but I saw a Kaiser Darrin driving on a side road near Lubbock last week.

It looked a lot like this one:

Now that's a unicorn

Text of the plate on this car = "LEAKER" Eric, didn't realize you were local to STL. Was driving the #24 CS 350z that weekend.

In Champaign, this was at the Rantoul event. Cheers! My son was driving the red MR2 to last place :)

Saw a tacoma xrunner or whatever they were called, the lowered ones. It looked great, that bright blue color. I never see any 2wd trucks around here usually unless they are white ex work rangers lol.

Not really unicorns, well maybe the first one is, but I 'lost' the school run pickup with my new Porsche when first this pulled in ahead of me. Yup a running apparently minth V12 Phaeton.

Then this. A new Chyrsler

This is SHOgun #2. He's driving One Lap with us.

Spotted in downtown Ann Arbor today. This was the best shot I could get.

Didn't get a pic of it (hard to do when driving a manual in traffic), but I saw a Fisker Karma yesterday.

Maserati sedans have lost unicorn status in the Philly area. We have at least 2 dealers in the area, and I see them nearly everyday.

That's very shocking.

Awesome that he's giving it a proper flogging, but damn, that's a rare, infamous car.

How about a 918 and an R8 drag racing?

In reply to mazdeuce:

The Shogun is more impressive to me, as there are far more R8/918 out there than there are legit Shoguns.

Saw this at a shop in SE Florida:

Porsche 907, Sebring winner, 1968! Just chassis, but wow, no roll bar, let alone cage. Sitting between two huge gas tanks separated by fiberglass so thin you can almost see through it.

Those guys had huge ones...

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

Yeah, I was at Rochester Mills Brewery for a homebrew event. Saw that about 5 minutes away from the palace. looked like a 17 year old kid drive with a very nervous Dad in the passenger seat.

Saw a Pontiac Solstice Coupe yesterday on 696 near Farmington Hills, first one I've seen outside a dealer lot

Agreed. There are two 918's here today. I'm completely over them.

I spotted a Mercury Capri xr2 with a hard top. On the road in the pouring rain.

I'm not sure what I saw yesterday...I passed some kind of Rolls Royce Phantom knockoff, very quickly in traffic. The most noticeable difference in the front end was the slightly "slanty" headlights, not right angles like the real deal. When I looked in the rearview it had what looked like a (recent) Chrysler emblem on the back. It may have been one of these:

I remember the front end being more angular and less similar to the real RR than that though. Maybe some Chinese knockoff?

Have driven next to the real deal before BTW...the loudest noise it made was the tires rolling.

That description screams Chrysler 300 conversion ...

I've seen a few more of them as well. Not a unicorn

this guy followed me to work today.

I saw my first Alfa 4c a couple days ago. At first I spotted it from behind and thought it was a kit car.

I hope they become common enough to be non unicorns.

Saw it again yesterday, confirmed it's a 300C conversion, the taillights are the same. The front looks a bit different from anything I can find online though, the headlights are LEDs.

I saw a prowler in the highway, I haven't seen one of those on the road in a long time.
