Saw a very nice example of this running out to the orchard yesterday. Forgot how incredibly narrow they were.

In Oct of 1997, I saw two native americans having sex on the yellow dotted line of Highway 83 at 4 in the morning.
Does that count?

We saw a really nice 57 Chevy in Teal/White paint scheme a week or so back. I drive about 35-40k miles a year and see all sorts of things, though usually it’s just clothing, gas cans, busted furniture or broken 5 gal buckets.

A Virginian who didn't speed up and let the car ahead
change lanes when its turn signal started blinking.

80mph speed limit in Arkansas, probably the worst highway infrastructure in the country.

I’m a huge advocate for zero government, but when 3-4,000 pound vehicles are passing by me at a few feet, I get a little defensive…

I set my cruise at 75mph and was passed by dozens of vehicles that I considered not road worthy.

I saw a McLaren P1 a couple weeks ago when I happened upon a small car meetup in a grocery store parking lot. THAT's a rare one.

Massachusetts drivers actually driving the speed limit on New Hampshire highways. Not just one, but several of them on the same day.

I did see a DeLorean and a Cybertruck on the same day the other week, which was certainly another oddity.

I saw a Croslew wagon coming toward me at a distance and was WTF is that tiny narrow thing? A Crosley, holy shit, it's been years since I saw one. I like small cars, but quick and nimble, Crosley does not qualify

I Turned A Plane Into A Luxury RV | RIDICULOUS RIDES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hn9SBQd6L4

I saw this rig a few months back, at the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH no less. It was parked way at the back of the lot, some distance from where we were, and my brain didn’t fully process what I was seeing. It certainly looked like an airplane/motorhome conversion, but I just rationalized that it must have been a fuselage on a trailer or some kind of future museum exhibit. By the time we returned to the parking lot it was gone, and that’s when what I had seen finally clicked mentally. I was regretful for not getting a closer look at it, but some outstanding fortune fell into place as we actually passed the beast on the interstate maybe 30 minutes later, while driving up to Lima, OH.

Good thing you didn't speed or break any traffic regulations.

Arkansas State Patrol has a real love of the PITT maneuver.

I was about 40 or so cars back in the full shut down backup of 64 for this. It was over 2 hours before VSP had us 180 and drive east in the westbound lane back to the nearest exit.

A crawler truck thing with two massive transformers on it. There was no cab but two guys hanging off each side appeared to be driving or giving directions. The whole thing was preceded by power company trucks to raise the power lines and lots of police vehicles.

Saw one of the new NSX’s yesterday.
Gorgeous car. Always loved them.

I visit Ft. Riley often for work. It’s always cool to see armor driving around and heli’s coming in low en Masse.

The Abram’s is a sexy tank. I remember M60’s growing up, and the M1 just looks so modern in comparison.

I saw a wasted fawn. Poor little fella won a Darwin award. I was going for a night walk and I see a silhouette in the street. "Hmm, wonder if it's a raccoon or a possum?" Then I get closer "damn, that's a big raccoon." Then I shine my light "oh no, it's Bambi!"
Possibly graphic.

That's an SPMT self propelled platform trailer. That transformer doesn't look heavy enough to need 10 axles. I can move 350k with 6

I took my wife to the eye surgeon for a post-op checkout, and there was a Tesla Cybertruck in the parking lot.
Good God, that thing is ugly and the fit is terrible, not to mention the different colors of the panels.
It's not an oddity, just an eyesore.
