What are cars that you would love to own one day that aren't considered normal (even on this board)? Miatas or P71s or E30s are not the answer here. I will start with the Plymouth Cricket and Saab 96 (w/ a 2 stroke although that might be normal on this board).

I've always like the body of the Plymouth reliant but idk if I'd go as far as to say I really want one, there's others I'm sure I'll think of later.

Cricket for sure, but as an Hillman Avenger Tiger, or BRM Avenger replica. Pontiac LeMans, the 80s hatch, built out as an Astra GTE/GSi replica. Chevette HS/HSR replica, but that's actually been mentioned here before. The LeMans I rarely see anymore, just one recently in the last 5yrs, but then I never leave the District.

I think that truck is gorgeous and have always wanted a tandem axle set up.

I think a strange car for most people here would be any recent Camry or Corolla

96 Caprice wagon, LS6 swapped with T-56. 00 Accent Sedan with a turbo Beta 2.0. The homelier it looks the better.

I do see those from time to time on the D.C. CL, also Corolla wagons, those would be great parts haulers, and seem to be reasonably affordable.

It doesn't help that I have seen it in person,and it is only about three hours from where I live. I just can't afford it. I wonder if he would trade my RX-4,and cash?
