A different type of exotic, but the other day there was a MAN 4x4 Motorhome in town. I actually saw two of these with no US plats or anything on them. These are upwards of $1 million dollars I've heard.

we had an happy hour yesterday at a local steak house/bar....

when I got there I see there was this table reserved for Ferrari Club....I asked the waitress what time are they expected....sure enough around 7 the parking lot gets louder, 4 F360 spyders, 1 458 Italia spyer, 1 599, 1 Maserati GT....so I walk up to take pictures just to find out my phone is dead

man, I have never hated Android more in my life LOL

^^ oh man that sucks #firstworldproblems hehe

as for top 3, I am not sure what it would be. but definitely it would need to be a true "street" sighting and not at a show or garage or showroom etc. well it could be at a parking garage.

if someone saw McLaren F1 on the street definite top 3. Veyron not so much, those are too popular they are everywhere. I know that is exaggerating but seriously.

they gotta be ultra special cars

Someone spotted a Reventon on a flatbed and posted it in here. It was a while ago though. I would say that's in the top three since there are only 21 coupes made.

The F1 was at a show/meet. Boston I think.

I remember an Enzo and an NSX in the same picture parked on the street. NSX, not so much, but Enzo could get my vote.

Edit: Nevermind. It was an FXX and NSX in separate photos of the same post in the Car Photo of the Day.

my quick impression was that it was something of an "organized" nature - they seemed to be touring around in these cars. I have been searching for any clues about it, have yet to find any.
