OT: Good Thread - What is the most obscure car you've seen in the wild?

[mktng]

Saw a Yellow Bugatti Veyron while driving along HWY 1. I didnt think people actually drove their Veyrons. Our rental PT Cruiser couldnt keep up.

Theres also a Detomaso Pantera in my parents neighborhood. I have yet to actually see it drive around. But he definitely starts it up. I definitely hear it.

Couple odd japanese rhd imported truck/vans here and there.

But I still think the Veyron was the coolest, and has stuck in my mind. Its been over 6 years too. Was just a cool car to see on a cool road with awesome scenery.

I parked next to a cool looking coupe in the Stop and Shop parking lot - didn't recognize it immediately - saw an unfamiliar winged logo. Huh it was an Aston Martin DB11...at Stop and Shop...huh.

Saw one of these in the wild. Bricklin SV-1. Made in Canada in 1975-1976.


This is a pic form the web. I did not get a chance to take a pic of the one I saw.

Not counting potentially through the windows of a dealer, I've seen one on Coast Highway in Solana Beach (driver on phone) and another in Rancho Santa Fe. It's one of those vehicle for which there is no way to not notice it.

There were only 499 LaFerraris made. I spied one just parked on the road along Lake Como. A few days later, the silver one was just one of a few parked out front of a hotel in Monaco during the GP weekend.

Full sized photos...scroll around

If anyone every saw the Smigel cartoons on SNL of the Ambiguously Gay Duo, this looks like their car!

I actually know the woman who owns this Lambo. She is the wife of a LA-based fitness guru.

I've only seen one of these Porsche, the Gullwing is nothing to sneeze at.

I'm guessing that's the same one I saw during the "Marin Open Studios" event (behind a curtain in the owner's garage). He said he actually drives it around and not just on a track...

ahh yes. google images seems to suggest you are correct.

$2.7M.

The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to 261 mph (420 km/h) for safety reasons, mainly arising from the tyres as the manufacturer concluded that no tyre currently manufactured would be able to handle the stress at the top speed the Chiron is capable of achieving

wow!
