    Recent Oddimobile Sightings – January 10, 2016

    What with holidays and CES, Oddimotive (almost a one-man show) has been slow.  Fear not, however, as we’re back on a schedule!  Also, slow on posts doesn’t mean slow on sightings… Let’s get started… Let’s start with a lovely, almost Grabber Blue Festiva spotted at Malibu Creek State Park.  Surely this fits right in driving…

    Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!

    Reader Steve N. sent us this sighting.  No further explanation was available, but what else do you really need to know?

The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…

    Another homemade Shogun Competitor

    This one uses a Suzuki Hayabusa engine.  Some might question a motorcycle engine in a car, but this thing should make at least 150HP if it’s in stock form.  That’s damn near 100HP more than the lowest-rated Festiva and this one now offers RWD.  Also, we wonder how much less this now weighs.  In any…
