    Hello. This thread is about saying what weird cars you saw today in real life. It is simple. I will start.
    The Honda Accord wagon. I don't see these cars usually, but when I saw this car on the road I started thinking, "An Accord wagon?".

    Speaking of hondas, here's a really weird one. The Honda Legend: A front engined RWD luxury car, made by honda. Seems odd for a brand known for making everything on a FWD chassis.

    Actually, the Legend is FF, although it uses a longitudinally mounted engine with a transaxle (which to the untrained eye could be mistaken for an FR layout when viewed from the engine bay)

    I saw a bike engined Corsa, grey with black rims, obviously lightweight with whole stripped out interior, i know its rwd because it did a burnout going out of a junction next to my house :)


    abit like this on the outside, but not exactly like a sleeper

    Like he said, it's got a bike engine, people often do a rear mount bike engine and it goes straight to the rear axle.

    Yes but the metal work back there is not designed around having a rear axle. It's got a solid trailing arm back there. No suspension mounts in useful locations or anything

    When they do it they usually make a whole new rear setup with coils, like this one:

    I wonder if that stack is functional...

    It's amazing how they did it to the Corsa, since the place that they supposedly built it is in an apartment garage, which is quite small

    I don't see these too often but when I see these on the road I cringe, much like today.

    Looks like a chubby kid from an elementary school (primary if you don't know what that is).
