I drove from Raleigh NC to Bloomington Indiana, to Binghamton NY, back to Raleigh a few weeks ago..... didn't see one C3. Come to think of it, I didn't see any C1's or C2's either. Must be a trend. chortle chortle

Its pretty rare to see a C-3 as a daily driver out here.
I think most people keep them in there garage, but
I know 10 places where they just sit outside and never
moved

There are plenty of C3s here, but not on the road.

I drive 25 miles each way to work. Some days I see another one, some days I don't. I often see C4's and C5's. Sometimes I see one while I'm driving the wagon and start to wave anyway. LOL Joe

CFOT Attention Whore
yep, boys, they are agettin' rare. reliability issues and idiot drivers that like to break fiberglass will soon relegate the last of the c3's to weekend cruiser status. the fact that i live in vegas and it's summer is the main reason i have only driven mine twice in the last two months. this is the time when the c5 and its kick azz A/C comes in handy. 
come october though, look out!
