No pictures since I left my camera at work.
A white cold-air Regal T-Type.
With a gennie Buick Stage II block. That'd be the race block with 14 head bolts per side instead of just 8. Basically the only way to ever get one is if a current Buick racer decides to retire to Hawaii or something and puts his up for sale.

I just saw a guy riding a Honda MB5 through town this morning. Also, it was 37 degrees out.
This might be the last one in the wild. Photo was taken about two weeks ago, south of Reading PA.
I haven't seen a running driving Land Rover Freelander for years. Saw this one last weekend in Chicago and had to get a pic.
Weird thing is I saw at least two others there, also running and driving while there. they just don't seem to exist in Michigan anymore.
Huh there are lots of Freelanders by me, a coworker has one.
Pretty sure that Alfa Mito I saw was imported by a local, I've seen it a few times since. I think the Brera belonged to a visiting rally driver, the first time I saw it was not long before the big stage rally event that draws international competitors, I saw it drive into the pits when I was marshalling at the start of said event, and I haven't seen it since.
A unicorn for now, first one spotted in the country, but I think these will sell like hotcakes here. We spend long periods driving short distances, we have expensive-as-berkeley gas, and plenty of millionaires who can afford these cars (landed cost could be anywhere from $120k to $200k depending on various factors such as exchange rates - no tax breaks or incentives on EVs yet because the dealership belonging to our local 800lb-gorilla-corporation doesn't sell any yet). I suspect the i3 might even replace the ubiquitous Range Rover Evoque as the Standard Issue Rich Bastard Vehicle.
In reply to GameboyRMH:
Those are becoming the Prius replacement here in WA. They are all over, and are FUGLY
I think I know that intersection. If you take a right, it brings you past Bert's and the Accra and chilly moos?

M Technic E30 Convertible, with a manual! 1 of 14 in red.
Ok not a sighting, but it hits the Unicorn button pretty good

Today on drive with DE students saw a modern Bentley at Denny's, were passed by a newer Quattroporte, and watched a Panamera heading the other way. None of the kids noticed or were impressed.
On my way into work, saw a Land Rover Defender on a car carrier (right behind another car carrier full of new Corvettes) and a driving Alfa 4C.

Saw this today
I know where that is!
Thought that looked kinda familiar but it wasn't called Ansonia Commons when I left. I owned 2 stores on the other side of Bridge Street there. Lived on the top of the hill on the other side of the bridge for 25 years and was on the city Zoning Board of Appeals back in the 80's.
Post pictures later but a Santa and sleigh set up of a F430 as Rudolph, 8 reindeer, and a C63 AMG Black Edition as the Sleigh
And a
Defender 110.
I'm fairly certain I saw, going the other way on M59 this morning, a white BMW 2002 Turbo with BBS wheels.
That definitely snapped my head around.

This has to go in here. Look at the gold!
I have not pulled the pic off of my phone but driving home on Friday I got passed by a New NSX. Had mfg plates on it and the guy in the passenger seat looked like he had a laptop out.
While driving on I-75 just north of 285 in Atlanta I was admiring two E30's in the lane next to me. At the last second I noticed a Mazda 323 GTX broken down on the side of I-75. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those actually on the road (I guess technically it wasn't roadworthy). Really wanted to go back and check it out (and leave a note) but it was rush hour and it would've taken at least 1/2 hour to get back to it.

Those cars were so far ahead of their time. I mean, composite plastic wheels and variable-nozzle turbos are still pretty uncommon on cars 30 years later
Today I saw a extremely clean early 90s Ford Tempo,...the car was flawless with the exception of being a Tempo
Unicorn thread. I forgot I had spotted the following about 5 days before Christmas. Here in Ottawa Canada with no snow and nice day. It was a nice to see car. Buick Indy 500 Pace car.

Just saw a W8 Passat. 4Motion, 6 speed manual, and out on the public road (not in a shop).
