    Now that I think of it there are 5 good independent Euro-specialist* garages in my half of the county. I can't name that many who claim Toyota or even Asian import specialty status.


    *they all have their sub-specialties, one is the only one that handles diesel, another is only M-B, another is Volvo-only etc etc

    I saw what looked like an 80s or 90s Toyota Tercel parked in my neighborhood the other day. I am not sure though, the only rear badge I saw said RC or MC or something. All I knew was that it was a car I've never seen before.

    Finally saw a private plated Ineos Grenadier.

    Also, saw an early 2000s Civic SiR Hatchback (Sold as Civic Si Hatchback in the US).

    There's one Daytona EV parked at the dealership near me. Haven't seen any on the road yet.
