Re: Weird Cars
I actually saw my first Rolls Royce here today. Driven like a true Rolls Royce driver too (one step down from a Volvo driver)

But probably the oddest, at least at the time, was a Lotus Elise, on I77 back in 1999, four years before it got type approval for use on the public highway in the US - but then it was on a trailer.

Parked next to a Jensen Healey in the LAX parking lot this June.
