A Fisker Karma! I've never seen one before.
I guess somebody actually bought one.

I've seen one before, it was being transported on a truck. The truck had to rearrange some cars on it so he stopped in a parking lot and drove the Karma around lol. It's a cool looking car that's for sure.
Where have all the lightweights gone?

There's someone by me that worked for a private equity firm who owned a part of Fisker. I saw him at a cruise night and joked with him that I would bring "Combustible" truck placards to hang in his window.

Really? I've seen about 2 or 3 of them in the wild in the last few years, ~30 miles outside of Philly, lotta big Pharmaceuticals have their headquarters out here, saw one pulling out from one of them. Pretty common sight.

Yeah! It was one of my first impressions of the vehicle. Large indeed.

To add to that note, ignoring the terrible burner made for the work computer, I see Tesla Model S's CONSTANTLY. I've seen at least 20-30 unique ones on my commute to work over the last 2-3 months. Different colors, times, places. Once one knows what to look for (those distinctive marker LEDs) you see Teslas all over the place here.
The first time I saw a Karma I had the thought, hey wait a minute, thats one of those Fiskers like I saw on top gear! They're utterly massive cars. Hard not to spot

I also saw one today near Brussels (I'm only visiting here). That is the second Karma that I have seen on the road. The other one hangs near my workplace.
Couple of years ago the factory guys did some testing in my workplace too but I think that doesn't count as third. It was assembled in Finland so they didn't come from far.
Another interesting spotting today was a Ford GT that was making really noisy accelerations during the local rush hour. It must have had some "performance exhaust" as the others that I witnessed doing hard acceleration sounded really tame.

I probably see 20 Teslas a day.

That and when in e-mode below 25 they make a Hendrix-esque return guitar sound. It sounds like woannnnnnannn

There are definitely a few around the Philly/Main Line area. Actually know someone who owns one. It is a beautiful car IMHO and the interior is gorgeous. Could only find this picture from my ride in it.

I saw one last year parked next to a Tesla Model S outside a strip club in Dallas; first time I had seen either, only time I've seen a Karma. No one else understood why I was outside for 15 minutes.
The S is a better car; but damn, Henrik knows how to design. Other than the F Type R I don't know if I've seen a better looking car in the last couple of years.

Was talking to a guy at the car wash the other day who has one and loves it. Then he threw in the kicker, that his wife drives one too. Who owns two Fisker Karmas?! well, other than car wash guy.... I have to say, that pictures don't do the car justice. Strikingly beautiful in person.
