'84-87 CRX/Civics on the road

These are becoming extremely rare cars in the midwest. I owned an '84 Civic DX hatch from '89-99 and found that they were about as common as anything on the road. I HAD to customize it just to set it apart from all the other millions of LtBlue Civics. Today, they all seem to have rusted away (I know mine did, I had rust holes behind both rear wheels in 1989!)

Here is the question:
1. How many '84-87 CRX's have you seen on the street (not at a show!) in the last 6 months:
2. How many '84-87 Civics have you seen on the street (not at a show!) in the last 6 months:
3. Where do you live: (They die faster in some places than others)

These had big-time rust problems in the mid west. I might see one every two months now.
1. '84-87 CRX's: About 2 Both very rough.
2. '84-87 Civics: Maybe 5. One sedan was in great condition, driven by an old lady, the rest were rusted hatchbacks.
3. Where: Kansas City

1) about 4-5 CRX's
2) 1 hatchback 2 sedans 1 wagovan
SJ,California-dont see to many of them in my area, especially being the land of the rust free ones

[badpenny]

1) 8 and the only reason for this is that they are driven by older people (who respect their efficiency) or first time drivers.
2) 4 sedans (not including mine or thaJ00la's) 3 wagovans (none awd) and 5 hatchies (see explanation above)
