In an endless sea of Toyotas, Hondas and F-150s, I sometimes see a vehicle that truly stands out. Not for being awesome, or even good at all. But for being truly unusual, obscure or a true relic from the past. Here are a few that have stood out to me.
I mentioned to @Yano in another thread that someone who worked at a store across the street from my job used to drive a Yugo. I looked through my files and found a photo I snapped of it in the summer of 2017. I think he didn't ditch this ride until around 2020.
An older lady that shops at our store drives a pink Geo Trakker, a truly small and odd SUV from the mid '90s. I still see a decent amount of Geo Prizms (a rebadged Corolla from the same era), especially when I'm in the neighborhoods where I typically see lots of '90s Toyotas. But those don't stand out like a Trakker. Picture this exact same vehicle but in more of a hot pink.
A guy in my neighborhood used to drive a Suzuki Equator, which was a very unpopular Nissan Frontier rebadging. I have otherwise never seen a single one in person.
How about you guys? What weird rides do your family and friends drive? Or what obscure vehicles have you seen out on the road that made you look twice?
