saw this filling up while I was getting smog check for the wife. 
 

this local smog check sees pretty cool cars... their yelp page has Leno stopping here frequently

Funny - I saw a two door pickup about 2 weeks ago. It was one of those military auction ones. Was in terrible shape. But the retired owner seemed to be having fun smiley 

 

there is a pretty famous gas station owner in la (locals all know him), he has 4 LM002, 2 Benz 600 (60s) and a couple of Grosser Benz. Lets say the gas station is a front business. I saw a G 6x6 there last week ($1.5M street value)

This is excluding pics taken of foreign models while in other countries which may otherwise be rare here and those in museums.

DeLoreans aren't ultra-rare, but you don't see them every day either - unless you know where to look.  This pretty clean example resides in my neighborhood.

Hey I don't have a pic (due to nearly dropping my phone and jaw) but I saw not once, but twice, in my tiny town, recently, an Ultima GTR. An amazing sight to see in a small, middle class, rural, school zone. Also, it was agonizing to see a vehicle with nearly 1,000hp going 20mph!

Seeing any 84 cavalier in mint condition is a unicorn in the land of salted roads where I live is definitely a unicorn.

Katie's Cars & Coffee outside DC, spring 2019.  I did not realize these things looked so bad until I saw it in person.  I imagine the howling V10 makes up for it, since you can't actually see the car when you're in it.
