Out and about in my own obscure car today, and all I have seen was a pagoda SL from a distance, and an immaculate early 80s Mazda 626 coupe, driven by a very young looking Asian girl - who almost got rear ended by a distracted yuppie idiot in a Lexus GX. I haven't seen a nice example of one of those Mazdas in a long time. I have a memory of those cars...when I was a little kid, maybe around 1982 or so, the neighbor lady had a yellow Fox body Mustang, with T-tops and all of the malaise sport trim. I remember I thought it was an awesome car, and she told me she'd take me for a ride in it with the T-tops off someday, as they interested me. Well, one day the Mustang was gone and in its place was a new 626 coupe, with "Luxus" badging - I remember it clearly. I didn't ever ask for that ride. |

I saw a Jowett Jupiter. The only one I've seen in my life. Now that's a bizarre car. I watched a Fiat Jolly go by on a Flat bed today And an old blue haired lady crusing PCH in a beautiful 67 e type Jag Coupe. A good day over all.

I'm pretty sure it was a '64.. In perfect condition.... in a sort-of-light blue, that looked like a factory color.. Really, really nice...

Today's oddity - ca. 1991 Mitsu Galant VR4 - the loaded high tech model that must suffer from both unobtanium parts and mechanical maladies, as they are virtually extinct now. Also saw an early K-car LeBaron sedan and a loud pagoda SL that almost sounded like a small V8 - but I think the exhaust can be tuned that way. Edit: A-H 3000 just drove by my window, steel blue, looked pristine.

a first generation late 90s Audi A8 today. Still a nice car but looks too much like an A4, just larger scale. I think the MB S class and BMW 7 series of that era have more presence.

Not a classic, but certainly on it's way to becoming obscure. I don't think that I ever saw one on the road before. It just looks weird. Why would you buy one instead of an X5?
