I was reading through some of the recommendations and noticed that I see quite a few of them on a daily basis.

Just off the top of my head:

Isuzu Axiom (w/hideous aftermarket wheels)

Isuzu VehiCross (beaten to hell)

Kia Borrego (two of them, one orange and another black)

Pontiac G8 GXP

Isuzu i-series truck

Isuzu Ascender

Suzuki Kizashi

2008 refreshed Magnum

A lot of these are actually in my school's parking lot. I guess we like weird cars around here. I might have to start collecting pictures.

I see a black MiEV every day. Has green accents.

The lack of Suzuki Verona is appalling

I tried my hand with a couple of entries, but they'll never be seen, because of gray. I was partial to my suggestions of an unmolested CRX and Standard-Cab Short-Box full size pickups. Very rarely do I see them.

Where do you live where so many Isuzus survive? Around here the whole brand has nearly achieved unicorn status.

I only see two on a regular basis...an Oasis that my neighbors bought a few months ago and parked in front of their house and has never moved since, and a Vehicross in my work parking structure that either gets in super early and leaves really late or has been abandoned (it's always in the same spot).

One of my coworkers drives a Suzuki Forenza.

" Standard-Cab Short-Box full size pickups" Do you not live in this area of the US? I see those all of the time.

Also known as the Chevrolet Optra

This magical land called St. Louis, Missouri. I honestly don't know why there's so many around here still.

Aka, Chevrolet Lacetti?

I saw what had to be the cleanest CRX ever at cars and coffee. It was absolutely mint.

I also see a lot of Stand-Cab Short-Bed trucks. But I see well over 1,000 trucks on a daily basis.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these actually.

Someone up the street owns one of these. I always think Chevy Lacetti.

One of my clients has an Axiom. A VehiCross used to live near me. I've been seeing the same Kizashi at least a couple times a week recently.

Weird. I spent every winter from about 86-96 in Webster Groves and, in foggy memory, the most common cars were old rusty Fords and Dodge Caravans which they produced in Fenton.

I have no real reason but i like the axioms and they are rare to see.

I see a lot of these.

What about a Mitsubishi Lancer Wagon. One guy who lives around me has one but otherwise I don't recall ever seeing another.

Now that's something I have never, ever seen.

As a matter of fact, I don't. Maybe they're more common elsewhere. Around here I rarely ever see that combination. My father's last two pickups had to be ordered because there was no Standard cab Short bed pickups in any dealer inventory around here. Part of the reason I assumed was that's the bottom of the price range for trucks, and no one wants to stock the cheap models.

True, but I'm assuming in middle America there are a lot of people like your father then.

2008 Magnum was nominated? I see those quite often, my local Sheriff service must've bought them all.

It was, though they were mainly talking about the SRT8.
