A very obscure and truly weird car is the Pontiac Aztek / Buick Rendezvous!

They don't grow on trees, and who the heck even thinks about the Fairlady convertible anymore?

saw one of these in brown on my ride through West Hollywood/Beverly Hills the other day. A welcome sight among numerous G-Wagens, Teslas, etc.

I was going to guess that you were on the Giau. Then I googled it.

We have a Lambo running around here fully wrapped in TRUMP2020. It can't get more obscure than that. I'll try to get a pic of it next time it roars by. It reminded me of the latest Larry David show where he dawns a MAGA hat in California to both his advantage and his demise. Imagine that car cruising along the coast!

I get CDs through the mail from Netflix. I just returned "L'armee des Ombres," which is about the French Resistance during WW2. Lots of Citroens in there.

I own a 67.5 Fairlady convertible 1600. Not obscure but kinda rare on the east coast. 67.5 low windshield are more rare than the others (68-71)

Not ultra-obscure here in California, but I have only seen one or two of them on the street. Took this photo of Tesla #364 charging in Santa Barbara, then drove it the rest of the way home
