Over lunch I decided to take a drive to the nearby auto parts store to get some items I need for the cruiser. my windows are down and then I heard it. High RPM wail, simply angry. Didn’t sound like a sportbike, so I keep my eyes peeled. Up ahead I spot something very low and very wide. I sped up to try and get a better look, praying that we hit a red light. While I didn’t get that lucky, he did need to take a left turn and was forced to stop for traffic. I couldn’t believe it. A McLaren P1. I tried to take a picture, but of course I had a green light, and my phone was set to “selfie”. I got back to my office and looked up the tail lights for every modern McLaren, but only one fit. Best part was it was in the delicious orange.
I work in Mequon, which is nice suburb north of Milwaukee. However, there are some ridiculous enclaves by me. In addition to the P1, in the last year I have also seen a Porsche 918, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 roadster, a Dino 246, MB AMG GTs, and numerous other “civilian” sports cars.
For those interested, I typically see them on Brown Deer Road, just west of Hwy 43 in the suburb of Brown Deer.

Lots of Bucks/Brewers players (and doctors and lawyers and other rich people) live in and around the Mequon/Brown Deer/Fox Point side of Milwaukee, I used to see nice cars all the time, but not a P1!
Nice knowing there’s one around here somewhere.... I’ll keep my eye out. Do they still have impromptu car shows at Highland House on Thursdays? I used to stop by every once and awhile when it was on my commute home. Some rare stuff stops in and out of there.

Not sure. I live in New Berlin, so I'm never around on weekends. I have to imagine cars & coffee could be amazing in this area.

I really wish there was one. I think there’s a place in Waukesha that has one semi-regularly, but I haven’t checked lately.

I believe you’re right, but if I recall its pretty far west. There are normal car shows by my house, but they’re the typical Midwestern shows, where domestic and muscle rule.

Same here, or they’re small shows intertwined with festivals.
I just want to see this one again:
