It may be fortunate that they didn't, I am pretty sure I remember at least a few of them being totalled from those wheels failing.
Saw a metal bumper MGB out in the wild today. Top down, keeping up with traffic (70ish).
I saw a Ferrari 250 GTO on an open trailer yesterday.
Lamborghini Diablo cruising around yesterday in libertyville Illinois. Not a very attractive car in the flesh
Parked in front of my house randomly right now...
I can't believe one of these survived up here!
Spotted an old Jensen Intercepted today in Weston, WV. Only the 2nd I believe I've seen.
Within minutes of each other on this weekends run to NAPA spotted a Lotus Evora S and a GTR, neither of which were native to my area. Occasionally Boon will be out in one of his Porches, as much as I dislike the overgrown Beetles, his 79 RUF is berkeleying amazing. There is a surprising amount of cool stuff hiding in garages out this way, including a Ferrari collection, and a grid's worth of pristine Model A's
Not sure if it counts, but I saw a '92 NA Miata in flawless shape with 13k miles on it today. Not 113k, 13k. I know the owner, I've known they had the thing for years, never realized it was that low mileage
This was parked in front of my office yesterday.
There is not one, not two, but 3 Daihatsu Rockys driving around up here in north idaho. Odd cluster since I've never seen another anywhere
I saw a running, driving (Albeit rough) AMC Alliance go by the other day. I thought most of those had expired before the Chrysler buyout of AMC was complete.
Convertible Dakota pickup! With 33K miles!
A Jeepster is rare enough, but a Hurst one!?!?
I should mention it's the eccentric owner's DAILY...
Mazda6 Wagon, Touring Trim, moonroof, STICK
Mazda 6 wagon with a stick shift
So all on the same side street:
Clean rust free CRX
VW square back wagon
Ford full sized van
Corolla/Tercel all trac wagon.
If whoever is the eclectic person who has these is a member here, heads up looking at the house around the corner.
Spotted in Ann Arbor today:

HEre's a few from the last week in SE Mi.
SWB Defender import at work
Old Euro Capri seen in Royal Oak
Not a real Capri leaving work 
In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
Someone just moved into my building with a "new" Capri and I walk by a Land Rover Defender 90 on the way home from the Metro. There are a few Defender 110s running around here too.
I test drove a unicorn lat night. A brand new KIA Forte5 with a stick and a turbo that was not the most loaded or a stripper car.
Just to prove that they CAN last. Here is a Phaeton with what must be a record number of miles on it. I just wonder what the running costs have been to this point......
This might sound weird but I saw a stick shift Kia Soul this past weekend. A friend of my wife was driving through on a road trip. I know they aren't that rare but never seen one in the flesh..
I saw an Eagle Summit two door Wagon picking up kids at school a couple of weeks ago. Just like this one. It was super weird.
In reply to Flight Service:
When my girlfriend was living in the DC area, I'd routinely see 2-3 Defenders every time I was down visiting (which was damn near every other weekend.) I'd be surprised if I've seen more than a dozen or so outside that area in my entire life.
Saw a Corolla All Trac wagon last night on my way home from work. Surprisingly rust free too.
