    Got an idea for a little forum game.
    You go on Google Streetview near your town and try to find the rarest/most expensive car you see on the streets.
    Rules:
    Don't go to places where it is obvious that you would find expensive cars. (e.g you live near a car museum)

    I'll start:
    Found a First Gen Aston Martin Rapide quickly in Baltimore.

    Does it necessarily have to be near your town?

    It's not a normal car, but I would consider this train streetcar pretty rare.

    It's 18 miles from me.
    It's really close to the Carter Family Fold, Hiltons, Virginia (2nd pic)
    For people who don't know what Carter family fold is, it's where Johnny Cash (Singer) Played a lot of his music...

    Found this sweet rail buggy on streetview too... Pretty rare.

    That MP54 is a long way from it's home, how did it get to Virginia? It seems to be painted in a Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore livery, which was a railroad in PA and NJ.

    So, I'm heading down the road, and because of how the car moves at different times, because this is a Y intersection, I see this when I change routes... I'm so happy, even if this isn't that cool...

    That train was most likely left there when they took out the railroad that went right beside it.
    It used to be the Clinchfield RR. The RR went from Dante, VA to Johnson City, TN

    Hummer H1... about 30 miles from my location... only reason I knew it was there is because I pass it on a regular basis.

    There are 3 kinds of rare cars: new and expensive ones, old and expensive ones and just old. This time, I was looking for the third one, so I "went" to lower-income residential areas filled with USSR-built houses.
