The most rare in person, would have to be a Ferrari F40. The cool thing was the guy had it out at an open tracking session at Road America (Elkhart Lake) and driving it on track. Needless to say, I don't think he was giving it his all (or maybe just the cars) since I did pass him one session. The same guy also had an F355 and an SP333 race car with him at the track.

as far as i know they never produced the motorcycle, it was just a concept considered for production, BUT they did sell the original tomahawk as well as 9 concepts used to make the rounds at shows for 555,000$ a piece, so it could have been one of those, if so then you saw one of the most rare vehicles in the entire world, if i was you i would never wash your eyes again

S14kat- thanks for the pics, that must be pretty awesome to see, but reminds me of Nic Cage in gone in 60 seconds when he talks about how 10 other guys at starbucks will have the same new ferrari or something to that effect, the Diablo i saw today has California tags and his plate was FROM HEL, kinda cool since diablo means devil or whatever, he got on it when he pulled out onto broad street and boy was it mean, i wanted to grab my bike from the back and run him down since i wouldn't get many chances to run something like that, i'd own him until we got around 170ish, then he would explode past me as if i was standing still(well i guess i would be technically just about standing still since i'd no longer be accelerating and his ass would probably have two gears left)

i'm almost 99% positive they were never produced, so there for he must be filthy fucking rich if he can own one of the most expensive/rare motorcycles ever made and not even have any idea as to how rare what he owns is... imagine what he would have paid for it if someone told him that there were 100 times less of them made than he originally thought
