Taken outside OPD East Station, has been in their fleet for quite some time now

(excuse the shite pictures, I was caught off-guard )

Seen previously on the Weird Wheels subreddit a while back, guess it's been staying up here ever since

Owner was very friendly and let me took pictures of the inside

Outside their Eastmount Station

1990 Honda Accord EX & 1999 Saab 9-5 2.3T

Spotted this one at South Salinas a few days back while eating BK

Was not expecting to see this today, an very awesome find!

The story with this is that 10,000 of these little things were imported to the USA (with the help of Malcolm Bricklin) and were intended to be sold as economy cars. However they were panned as critiques as "rolling death machines" and wounded up poorly selling in the country (with unfounded rumours allegedly stating that unsold 360's were quietly scrapped and disposed of). Combined with that + Japanese cars at this point being very easy to get rusty resulted in not many of them surviving into the 21st century.

Spotted this guy up in Templeton, California today during my visit. Not sure how long it's been sitting but I know it's been here since July of 2023. Interesting it has a VW badge at the back (ironic since I thought was just another VW bug at first glance)

Sticker on the back showed it originally was from Nagakute Town, Aichi, Japan. Been in California since at least 2018 apparently
