Yellow Mclaren P1 going to work last week. Guy was doing the speed limit. That thing getting onto the highway had glorious noises

Here's a Craigslist Unicorn. No pictures...that's too bad. Bummer 
Pontiac station wagon with the transmission in the back and IRS. Possibly? a 4 cylinder with a factory 4 barrel?. Half a V8 389. One of you boneheads needs this. Step up to the plate.
I like the owners statement that

1962 Pontiac tempest wagon - $800 (Liverpool Texas)
Da Internet said: One of the interesting things with this car was the 195 cubic inch four-cylinder engine. At first this does not sound particularly interesting, but actually the engine is one-half of the 389 cubic inch V8 engine that was used in the full-sized Pontiac cars at the time. In the 1962 Pontiac Tempest the 195 cubic inch 4-cylinder engine came in five power levels. There was a low compression, single-barrel carburetor version that 110 horsepower and the 4 cylinder engines went up to a high-compression four-barrel carburetor version that produced 166 horsepower. The following advertisement shows the engine and transmission availability for the 1962 Pontiac Tempest.
In reply to Gasoline:
If that were on the near side of Houston, I might risk the ire of my fiancee and drag it home.
Shame there's no pictures either, but a google of '1962 Tempest Wagon' turns up some good looking rides.

Maybe I will run into you sometime? I work in Chinatown and live in Magnolia.

Way back when, a famous at the time hot rodder (Micky Thompson maybe), was doing lots of interesting stuff with the 4 cyl. Pontiac engine. IIRC he halved it again to make a 2 cyl. version & ran them at Bonneville.
I saw a casually street-parked SLR McLaren Roadster a few blocks from my house today. In front of it was a C63 Black Series.

Yes. They made less of the Z3 version.
Nice old Econoline pick-em-up at work last week.
Might be pushing it for a unicorn thread as it's not a car, but I see this guy around a lot locally even in heavy traffic, living the low carbon footprint to the max, and that's a true statement as it sure is low and is certainly carbon bodied 
Saw this one in the parking lot of a local mall. I was driving the MR2, and saw him looking hard at it. I got to chat with the owner, a younger kid who is going to M.I.T. recently picked it up with 28k Miles on it for $3500. Really a beautiful car, actually the first I've seen in person... yet alone one in running condition!
Saw a 991 GT3 and 2 GT350s in traffic last week. Probably cheating being in Bowling Green when Ultimate Street Car Challenge is in town.
Pretty sure I saw a Tesla X, didn't know they were already out and about?
They're definitely out, I saw one last week in Denver. This week in Denver, I saw an i8.
I saw an MGB with a working Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit.
Just kidding. I saw one with a broken overdrive unit. My Monday is going to be removing the engine and trans from an MGB because some chunderheaded Brits designed the car in such a way that this is how you get the overdrive off, rather like stripping naked because your shoes are untied.
Joke's on me, I suppose.
Saw this on 270 on my way to work last week:

Friend of mine has daily driven a 99 Z3 Cpe (non- //M) since 2007
Didn't get pics, but I passed a minty fresh AE86 Levin coupe in traffic today, white with a tasteful body kit. Hadn't seen it before, it might be one that I know of that's been restored.
There are definitely less than 8 AE86s total in the country, and one in that condition would be rare anywhere.
I saw an AE86 notchback on the side of I-71 this morning. Given that it was actually in the grass, part of me wonders if it was a theft/joyride/ditch.
Saw this Bullitt replica fastback at the hardware store this weekend. So much want.
A woman driving an S2000. Usually all I see are guys driving them!

About a month ago, I ran up on an early CRX Si. An unmolested, original as hell, clean, and yellow one, being driven by a lady who probably was the original owner.
And a couple of months back, I spotted a pretty clean Hyundai SCoupe.
Today, while riding my bicycle, I was pasted by .... A Berkeley!
Not the four letter word, the super small sports car. I rolled up to next to it at the next red light and called to the driver, "Is that a Berkley?" he looked genuinely surprised and said, "Yes, How did you know?" I said, "Grassroots Motorsports." 
The light changed and he drove off.
