The Unicorn sighting thread.

Sl500 are everywhere but this had a panoramic roof and the Lorinser catalog thrown at it. Annnnd, on a crap lot in Warren, oh

Don't see these too often these days. The lady actually got on the gas once we hit the highway too. 

My brother sent this:  

I'm saying 1951 Crosley.   Yep, they're that small.

A very clean Volvo 780...

Maybe not a unicorn depending on what line of work or part of the world you're in, but sure isn't something you expect to see driving down the street in small, college town, suburban Arkansas.

Not just a Consulier, but John Fitch's personal Consulier GTP-LX!

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I thought I was looking at a very shoddy F40 replicar

It was a very unicorn heavy drive home today. Disclaimer: maybe not where YOU live, but around here these are all rare

What??

Nice!

Shoulda bought the Lambo though

okay impossible to see in the side view mirror but it was a white 928 with roll bars

I saw that exact car last week. Not another Consulier, but that very one.

Saw a blacked out Polaris Slingshot with a wing today.  What made it truly unique was the driver . . . in full head to toe Batman costume.  Sadly, I was driving, with no passenger, so no pics.  

EDIT:  Probably this guy Nana nana nana nana BATMAN!

Picture is bad but it has a slick black paint job and "340" mentioned on the paint. It sounded nice! I am back to driving a truck and I see many unicorns but I can't take pictures. I got this one because I was stopped at a light in Edwardsville, Illinois.

A Studebaker Wagonaire. Decals and license plate claim it's a 1966, the last year of production.

Saw a pristine black Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X yesterday on the road driven by an older gentlemen. He must babied that car for years driving slow since he was doing 35 mph in a 45 mph zone. Never heard of the VR-X for that model. 

They are literally nothing special. No turbos, no AWD. They have a different muffler and sportier looks.  Junk.

I guess the price has fallen low enough on second generation luxury trucks that they can be used for truck stuff.

I passed an i8 on my commute this morning, but the real unicorn was the Suzuki Cappuccino I was next to in traffic coming home on Wednesday.  First one I've ever seen in person.  It was driven by a young Asian girl; I beeped and waved but she wouldn't look over.

I turned around and snapped a pic if this one today from my truck. 

At my neighboring County Club there was a Rolls Convertible. Not an everyday car around here. I have not seen it before. 

When this guy parties, he really parties.

It was raining and I was passing it on the interstate, but I'm fairly certain I saw an Icon Bronco on the back of a car hauler. Matte charcoal paint, gunmetal wheels, huge red calipers, hardtop. Didn't get a good look at the side badges, except to see that it had something there. Could have been this truck:

looking through those pictures with the sick or injured kids is the saddest thing, man. especially that little boy with the head injury, isn't even looking up. I've never cared about superheroes or anything but i'm really glad he's doing his part to make things better for little kids

Sitting at a red light yesterday when an all white Bricklin went past. No chance of a photo. Not sure how rare they are, but it's the only one I've ever seen in the wild.

Looked pretty rough.

I saw a working driving 2 door Freelander today.  I don't think I've seen one in 10 years.

Road tripping the west coast has led to great car spotting...  TR7 (driving), Karma Kit Car Volkswagen (driving), Saab Sonett, Siata Spring, Ferrari La Ferrari, Bugatti Veyron, Maclaren P1, Pegani Huayra, Pegani Zonda, another high end Lamborghini I couldn't determine fast enough, and plenty more stuff I'd call rare back east...

This is not counting the stuff seen in the lobby of the Peterson Museum (s600, sports 600, 30s Datsun, Andretti F1, early Indy cars, Porsche 917, several others)

there's a Studebaker Avanti I think not terribly far from me when I sorta got lost the other night in the new neighborhood.  I'll have to go back and take a pic.

But I did see a Passat sized VW R36 if I remember correctly just this week. Looked good. 

I'd say this guy is a unicorn, but especially in the northeast.

I saw a Toyota Mirai today. I didn't even know it was a thing. I didn't know we had enough Hydrogen infrastructure anywhere to run a fuel cell vehicle. 

Wednesday and Thursday I saw a mid sixties Rambler 770 V8 two door parked. On Thursday a JDM Nissan Rasheen again parked and ready to go. 

Today I was walking my dog in Edgemont Village heard a raspy exhaust note and saw what looked like a Lotus Cortina driving away. We got back to the car and driving home saw a Citroen TA in traffic. 

No camera with me on any of these, but I sure wish I could upload the images from my brain.
