I was at a buddy's house on Sunday evening and I saw a white skyline drive by.......I don't know of any skylines in the area and this is the first one I've seen in person.......any skyline or really rare car sightings to speak of?

yea, sylines dont sell in the us, you have to import them from japan, and cars on the streets that are j-spec around allowed unless they are at least 15 years old.

Nothing is too rare around here, stupid rich folks.
Just the other day me and Rdizziedog saw two of the newer Vipers within 1/2 mile of each other.
Even Ferraris are fairly common. Bentleys are about the only rare cars.
Only time I saw some Skylines was at this big import meet thing a couple years ago.

There are two skylines in the Pittsburgh area, one is a bone stock daily driver imported from Japan, and the other one is a full race one, no plates or anything, and drivers around at night doing illegal flashlight drags.

Right you are super about No.VA. Does mobil oil still have their headquarters there?? I used to live in Annandale and had a lot of friends in Vienna and Centreville. Lots of rich people (not my friends, but they're out there.
I am Australian born and mostly bred apart from the time in VA and Canada, and skylines are so common there. I'm a big fan of them though.

There's a Yugo here in town... I don'tt hink it runs though... It's been in the same spot for a long time...
still looks good though (for a Yugo)
There was a guy here that at least used to have a Delorean.....

well, since i work at a porsche dealership..i see carerra gt's, gt3's, gt2's, full out ruf racing cars too. and its located in "rich ville" ferrari's, lambo, bently continental gt (which i detailed), enzo's. everything you could want too see. i dont think ive seen a skyline..yet.
There are two skylines in the Pittsburgh area, one is a bone stock daily driver imported from Japan, and the other one is a full race one, no plates or anything, and drivers around at night doing illegal flashlight drags.
I also belive the race one is the one thats drivin up at the legal flashlight drags to. I belive someone told me its HP is somewhere between 500-1000. Theres a supra around here thats pushing over 1,000 hp. Two I think actually...
By my work I see a Ferrari 355 and a Diablo pretty regularly and a car dealer around here had a Delorean on the lot for $25,900 over the summer.

pretty wide range of a guess, dont ya think? arent the r34s like 500hp AWD stock?
my turn
there is a trust fund baby in columbus who drives his r34 skyline regularly RHD, also has a porsche 911t, and a FD rx7, completely tricked out under hood, probably 500+ HP, the hood alone was 3500$. crazy
i have seen 2 of the bentley sports cars (GT?) one white, one black
few lambos, i have seen at least 4, i think 3 of them were @ easton (newer shopping center, very upscale, but regular people fit in fine)
i saw a maseratti on the freeway a couple months ago...nick saw one @ his work, may be the same one. im sure im missign a lot. theres some nice cars in columbus

Skylines are nothing special to me, because I see them every day.
Although, when I see an R34 GT-R, I can't help but look and listen.
I've seen a couple of rare (for me at least) cars in the week.
Bentley Continental GT - Black
Lamborghini Murcielago - Yellow
The rarest car I've seen on the road was an original 60's Ford GT40.

Even here in Wise, and a lot back home I have seen:
2 Supras (one newer model and 1 from the 80s both turbo)
4 skylines (every model/year under the sun you can think of)
16 Porches (mainly 911t and carrera)
(all within the past 9months. damn i hate NOVA and their rich people)

The R32 and R34 GT-R's. (R34 is V-spec2)
That's only starting from the 6th gen. :D
AND that's 8 models. There are heaps more, like 4-5 models for every generation. ;)

Well when I lived in Seattle there where a bunch of rare cars. Merkur Scorpio, TVR Tasmin, 360 Modena, a few skylines, A porsche gt carrera, Bentley Gt coupe, rolls royce silver spur, Maserati gt coupe, and the only Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the Northwest.
But the car I have always wanted to see in person is the Bugatti Eb111 it use to be the world fastest production car back in 93' here is a picture of it.http://www.swisscarsightings.com/supercarrally2003/Bugatti%20EB110%20001.jpg http://www.swisscarsightings.com/supercarrally2003/Bugatti%20EB110%20003.jpg
