Yay! This is the first car I owned. Mine was in ERG, with a wooden steering wheel and shifter; toggle switches for the lights (!) and a 'benzina' gauge.

That looks like a Triumph Dolomite Sprint from the '80's.... lots of them in the UK.

Panoz Roadster.

How about this one? I'm trying to stay away from exotics that most of us are unlikely to ever see in person, or are essentially unobtainable.

You nailed it, they build them in brasleton so their is a disproportionate number of cars in the carolinas and Georiga. I've ran across a few esperantes before.



As for your car, it looks asian... Probably Honda. I'll let someone else be more specific.

Very good!

I think there might be zero here.... Including this one, since it has Canadian tags.
Neat little sedan though.

It's actually a S600, but they are nearly identical in appearance to a S800. I wouldn't be able to tell them apart without seeing the badge on the car.

Looking at photos of Trabants to confirm that my guess was correct, I found more pictures of highly altered Trabants. Hilarious!
