The long, strange year of 2025 is over. Time for the fresh hell that is likely to be 2026! I know you are all as excited as I am. I asked you way back in last year to tell me about the strangest cars you spotted in 2025. I had a pair of Zooxs just hanging out in my neighborhood, but the rest of you had equally odd and interesting answers.
The ones I liked best are the cars that should never have come here, like the VinFast, and cars I wish we could see more of, like the Honda Acty. And any list is a great one if it has the silly Reliant Robin on it. Scroll through and take a look, and I hope you’re new year’s resolution list includes to keep your eyes peeled for more weird cars on the horizon. I know I’ll be keeping my eyes firmly on the road.
VinFast
Definitely a VinFast. Sitting in a regular old neighborhood street. What is even crazier is that I found out that Baton Rouge (where I live) is almost halfway between two VinFast dealers in…Lake Charles and Pensacola. Not Houston or New Orleans or any other sizable city. Maybe VinFast is focusing on smaller municipalities where there is no competition, but also almost no buyers? IDK about that, but I do know everything about VinFast is bizarro world weird.

Classic Minis
Not really strange, but my neighbor has 3 original minis. That’s more classic minis on one street, than I’ve seen on the east coast…
