No pictures because I was driving, but today in Montreal I made two interesting spots.
First up, a Nissan Figaro in this colour.
Lovely little car, and my wife thought so too. You gotta be brave to drive one of those on our streets in heavy traffic.
Next, something a little different. A 2-door Chevy wagon with Kentuky plates. It looked a bit like this, with simple GM-style steelies :

Or a bit like
this (but running, obv):

Maybe they’re the same car. For all my furious googling, it doesn’t seem to have been a production car. If anyone else knows anything, I’d be interested to learn more.
I tip my hat to you, crazy couple from Kentucky, for having driven so far in such an old car.

The Figaro is one of many “I drove one of those once” cars.

What was it like? Besides being on the "wrong" side, how did it drive?

The wagon was something else. The more I look, the more I think it was a custom build, and I wasn’t really like either of the examples I gave. The rear fenders definitely didn’t extend past the line of the back wall like the Nova 2 build above. It was more van-like, but definitely car-sized.
Maybe it'll show up on another car spotter page soon.

small, and zippy, 998cc turbo 4. I loved the roll back top and the dash. I’ve driven on the wrong side a few times, it’s weird and would take some getting used to. There used to be a lot of right hand JDM cars kicking around, now it’s just skylines and evos and stuff.
