XR-7:
One of my coworkers has a red Nissan NX2000 that he drives to work every day. I park next to him most of the time (including today), since we have some weird unspoken thing going on where everyone piles their cars in one end of the parking lot near the drive thru window.
The NX2000 apparently has a Nissan Silvia engine, was only built in Japan and exported to the US in very small numbers, and is nearly impossible to find for sale.

I damn near wrecked my car on the way to school today because the windshield was fogging up, and nothing i did with the A/C stopped it. How do I keep this stuff from happening? It happens on the outside of the car

So today my car died while I was driving at 35mph with cars in front of and behind me on a two lane busy road with no shoulders. I took good advantage of a big gap in the oncoming lane to pull the wheel left and coast into an abandoned fairgrounds parking lot coming to a stop on a grassy embankment. I restarted the car and ran several fast laps with hard braking around the lot without it dying again, so I resumed my progress on the road and had no more problems.

You could probably grab some parts from it because they'll probably resell for a hefty sum (engine parts probably not so much).
Also for you warble, a red Celica coupe parked behind me at class today. Second picture was taken pretty much at waist level so it looks like I focused on my rust rather than the Celica, since I was trying to be inconspicuous.
