I saw a new Mercedes CLS two days ago (those look better in person than in pictures), an Audi RS6, an Acura NSX the same day, and today saw a Viper. I also saw a 67' Mustang (red, great condition) yesterday. I went on a trip up north to Duluth on Friday, and I saw a S#it load of Escalades on the way. But those are a dime a dozen around here. And some old Tahoe on 20" spinners.

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

my friend had a CLS (before it was released here in the UK) and a maybach and porsche gt-2 outside his house, but the rarest car i've ever seen has to be an audi TT without curbed wheels, every TT has curbed wheels.

I was dropping my sister and her friend off at perkins, and a Merc G500 drove past us and got onto the highway (I think I know the girl that was driving it). Then, about two minutes later, I went onto the same on-ramp, and I was on the highway for about 30 seconds and a Porsche Cayenne Turbo came up behind me. He was passing people, but wasnt really being a lead-foot. It was still cool. Then, while I was at work, I saw a silver BMW M3 (I have followed this guy before), and Merc S55 AMG. Then, later still, I saw a Merc ML320 on 20" chrome rims.

Two days ago, I saw a couple of Passat W8's, a Merc S55 AMG, and a
Merc C43 (or C32) AMG (the old body style).

A few good cars over the weekend.

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

Yeah, Merc's, BMW's, and Porsches are a daily thing in my neighborhood. This afternoon one of my neighbors had his 996 TT convertible out for a drive.

Rarest??

get mad at me if ya want... but I drive a deck truck in a city with amazing amounts of rare cars. I've had a 1969 Olds 442 W30 RAGTOP (under 500 ever produced) on my deck, a '96 Ferrari 360, 1969 Dino, 2004 Manta Mirage (handmade-style and body parts by McLearen) and numerous other rarely seen cars/trucks that most would drool over (I know I was). I myself owned a 1976 Olds F-85 (one of 409 made and they only made 3 years of that type ... 2 years in the late 60's and '76). If you want to see some of the cars/trucks/bikes that drive around (sometimes in my city) go check out the World Of Wheels Calgary Alberta websites and see the rides around here. I didn't know we have this manyt cool/exotic/rare rides around here. The Manta Mirage is able to be seen on WebShots in my community page. It is a one of a kind car and I have never seen any others nor have I come across pics of one except for writtings on webpages.

DEFINATELY Aston Martin Vanquish (saw once for 5 years), Aston Martin DB9 (saw twice for 5 years) and Dodge Viper GTS Coupe (saw three times for 5 years) in Sydney. Also, I want to tell you that my brother says that Supras, RX-7s and Skylines are everywhere in Adelaide (A sports car heaven).

Saw an orange BMW M1 the other day for the first time ever. Don't see many of those around, even in London..
