    Now that I think of it there are 5 good independent Euro-specialist* garages in my half of the county. I can't name that many who claim Toyota or even Asian import specialty status.


    *they all have their sub-specialties, one is the only one that handles diesel, another is only M-B, another is Volvo-only etc etc

    I saw what looked like an 80s or 90s Toyota Tercel parked in my neighborhood the other day. I am not sure though, the only rear badge I saw said RC or MC or something. All I knew was that it was a car I've never seen before.

    Finally saw a private plated Ineos Grenadier.

    Also, saw an early 2000s Civic SiR Hatchback (Sold as Civic Si Hatchback in the US).

    There's one Daytona EV parked at the dealership near me. Haven't seen any on the road yet.

    Just saw a black 2020 Genesis G80. Not a bad looking sedan.

    White Porsche Taycan while cruising down the I-15. Now I am not as big on the looks of that.

    Chevy cobalt, which I'd never heard of. Irony is the name often means blue .... & yet it was banana yellow.

    My third Clarity PHEV. I think I've seen more of those than gen5 Prius PHVs.

    A BMW M850i, and it was a true coupe.

    Was behind a Holden Commodore. Guessing a VF from photos on the web. That last gen made in Australia. Though I can't discount it being a Chevy SS with an emblem swap.

    I've seen videos of people going as far as reprogramming the SS infotainment system to match the Holden version.

    I saw a very worn Honda Insight the other day. I don't see those often at all, even when I visit California.

    Pulling into Harbor Freight this morning, my first VW EV van. Two-tone blue & white. Didn't see the plates so I don't know if it was from out of state but makes me want to find time to check out the local VW stealership to see what they know of local inventory.

    Just saw a new Roush F150 parked in a mechanic lot. Pretty decent looking, although I prefer Toyota trucks.
