14  
1978 Honda Civic Wagon CVCC auto (or whatever you’d like to call it)  
It was a gift from my aunt and uncle, during which time they owned it, it was in 14 different accidents and the frame could no longer be ‘safely’ straightened.  
Did some weight reduction.  
It’s out behind the shop, still sitting there, pretty rotted I’m sure. Hasn’t been run in a good many years. Doubt it would ever run again. Too many squirrels nested in the air cleaner and such.

Pics for your viewing pleasure.
