#1 - 1976 CVCC Civic. Ran it until it totally rusted out at 160K

#2 - 1979 CVCC Civic station wagon. The worst Honda I ever owned. Had
a lot of concealed abuse by the previous owner. I almost had it crushed
just so no one else would experience its horror but then I received a
good offer to sell as a part car.

#3 - 1983 Honda Civic FE. Currently on lay-up until a minor title issue
gets resolved. Averages 41 mpg in mixed driving

#4 - 1982 Honda Civic ? (four speed) bare bones car purchased for $200
as a parts car for the '83 FE. Damned thing just runs too good to
relegate it to disassembly. In use daily for perhaps the next year.
