inspired by the "identify these 70's cars" thread..
this is the 70's version similar to the one in the quiz... kinda cool, has a 70's Toyota Celica vibe. I of course knew about the other Mazda rotary's, the Rx7, Rx3 and the little pickup, but never knew they had a larger coupe/GT car like the Cosmo. this is the early 90's model I saw that made me go wow, that's pretty handsome, cool looking, and I never heard of such a thing before. 
admittedly I'm a fan of the larger two door coupe/GT cruiser type car, but I would daily something like this right now, I think it's pretty good looking. what kinda off the wall stuff are you guys into/discovered |

The Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo. 1987.5 model. I miss the one I had. The salt and pepper tweed interior was very nice. Also gave 5.0 Mustangs a run for their money with it's 4ZC1T motor.

I test drove a later Impulse with the "suspension by Lotus" badge on it. As a multiple Mk1 Scirocco owner, I appreciated the Gioretto Giugiaro design.

OP, i.e. is the Latin abbreviation meaning "that is"
Change it to the Latin abbreviation e.g. meaning "for example". |

One of these rolled into my shop one day and I didn't know what it was. It's called a Bricklin and I guess the guy owns two of them, I think.

This one may not be obscure enough, but I think it's cool and I would totally drive one:
Mazda 323 GTX. It looks like a standard grocery-getting shitbox, but it packs AWD, a turbocharged DOHC 4-cylinder engine, some chassis stiffening over the base model, and weighs 2600lb. |

I had the chance to buy a 91 or 92 Toyota Crown taxi with a 2JZ. Obscure white sedan with wing mirrors and rear window shades. Complete with all the paraphernalia in the trunk that came with it new, Including the seat and window doilies/curtains.
It had 13,000 miles on it. I am kicking myself. 6,000 dollars and licensed and titled.

Had a pulsar NX, 944 turbo, and a black Sentra SE-R while in high school. The Porsche was fun, but the SE-R was scary quick. Would love to daily drive another SE-R B13 (gas mileage was awesome), but they're hard to find now.
