The Unicorn sighting thread.

So just wrapped up a 1700+ mile work trip and have a few:

Panoz Esperante, McLaren dealership (Bergen County), and Honda Beat (which seem to be getting more popular in the US).

Last night I saw someone actually use the loud pedal on a freeway entrance ramp.

Not an every day sighting up here

A 1931(?) Model A (hopefully I post these pics correctly)

And does anyone know what this is?

Looked to be some sort of kit car. The front end looked Camaro-ish.

Chevy Vega, looks to be an early year (72 or 73) based on the rear. Very popular with the pro-street crowd, probably V8 swapped and definitely tubbed for the big rear tires.

Two Fisker Karmas, two Tesla model X, and the rarest was a Saab badged GM product that appeared to be a small suv cute ute. Not a 92x not a 97x.

A high mileage, trouble free Mini.

Saw this in my small town on Saturday! FD RX7 with a V8 of some variety, possibly with a blower too, or at least an intake.

It had some interesting red wheels and other red accents that were not my favorite, but overall it's a beautiful car and definitely a unicorn.

I saw a brand shiny new propane fueled school bus today. I didn't know such a thing existed.

On my way in to work this morning, I saw a Renault Duster. I've never even heard of such a thing. And simply seeing a new Renault...

Walking into a restaurant Tuesday night, a white haired gentleman in a late 70's or early 80's Rolls made a U-Turn in front of me, and it was RHD!

This Spring I saw an open car hauler trailer driving through Charlotte on I-85 Southbound with a Maclaren, a Ferrari F430, a Bently Muslane, and some hyper exotic I couldn't identify rolling down the road. All the cars had a plate where the license plate goes that was white or grey with a dark M on them.

I drove a 60s RHD Rolls once. I was astonished at how E36 M3ty the experience was.

Unicorns. Oh so many. No pictures sadly. Just up the street there is an Aston Martin dealership, a Maserati dealership, and a Porsche dealership. So there's a lot of weird lookin' cars around. Just today I looked out at the road and of the four cars I saw, there was a Boxster, a 911, and two Panameras. There's a crapton of Panameras around here.

Also a lot of classics. I see so much clean old iron around here it's disgusting. Last Thursday night, after I was at the Batcave throwing new struts in "Oktavia", I drove up to the shop to find my boss was still there at 8pm putting new paneling in the front office. So I borrowed a bay to set my alignment. It started raining, and we started bullE36 M3ting about that new crossram Edelbrock manifold for LS3s, and Ecoboost combustion chambers, and OMG A YELLOW '69 BOSS 302 JUST DROVE BY. IN THE RAIN.

It's not all clean Malibus and Falcons and 442s and stuff. There's import guys. I mentioned the clean 1st-gen CRX. There's also a guy who drives by most mornings in a GT-R. Way more Subarus with loud exhausts than I could ever believe existed, and they're almost all turbo Legacies with only a couple WRX/STis. And when we were cracking a beer Saturday night of the Big Moving Weekend, I was speaking with a former co-worker who moved on to greener pastures (and who had a 40+psi boost NB, and is currently putting together an LS1 conversion for the NB) and we're talking something about IGN-1A coils or using integrated AFR table tuning in Megasquirt or.... something, I don't know... and he casually says "Oh, an R32 just drove by."

Knurled runs his half-drunk ass out the door to see that, yep, someone out here in the affluent end of Cuyahoga County has an R32 Skyline.

Didn't Dacia make a Duster model?

Renault Duster? What's next, a Buick Encore?

Not all Alaskan overlanding adventures are in the wilderness. Sometimes you park your Fj60 by your Swiss traveling twin in their 70 series at the Walmart in Anchorage.

Perhaps not exactly a Ucorn sighting , but a rollback with a '57 chevy 4door  and 'hooked' to the tire grabber under bed thingy was a R8 sporting a water trash line to the middle of the drivers window.  

Saw my first new NSX today. I'm used to supercars looking low and wide. This did not look low and wide in person.  

I saw a DeLorean on the streets of Newmarket, Ontario today. At first I glimpsed a taillight edge and thought that looks like a DeLorean, but that was so unlikely I thought it must be a gray Cramit with aftermarket taillights. Then later I passed it and it was an actual DeLorean! Second one I've ever seen IRL, and the first one was in a museum.

I saw this pininfarina rebodied enzo this weekend. I tried to hotlink a photo but I ran into some crazy E36 M3 I've never seen before. 

That paced our Lemons race one year.  Have a picture somewhere of our crap can, running behind the multi million dollar car.

I saw a rough looking maserati TC on the back of a small used car lot, I have not seen one in the flesh in years.  I also saw a clean studebaker champ stepside in brown for sale in someone's front yard. SWMBO objected to me stopping to check it out, she was not impressed with its looks.

Saw a red Tesla Roadster with body-color hardtop and vents in Stouffville, Ontario today. Looks a lot more low-slung in person than in pictures. Looked just like this one:

Not sure if this is a unicorn, but it was the first time I ever done did seen't one: a TSX wagon in black. 

The BMW guys had one of these out at the world challenge weekend at COTA:

I totally forgot that these had cloth seats.
