After seeing $12,500 prices for those little CRX's, I wonder why anyone would
pay that much for the little thing.  For $12,000 I can get a fully blown
'84 Mustang GT.  Which do you think would be more fun (0-60 in 8 sec or so,
compared to 0-60 in under 7 sec.)?  Now the '84 GT won't win any beauty
contests, but in my opinion the CRX ain't that great either.  So why wait
months for some random number generator to ship your CRX, when you could get
a lot better for the price. (I'm not saying the GT is the only car, there are
a lot of cars in the $12,000 price range that are better than the CRX, and
more easily available, heck you could even get a '71-'72 used Pantara!).
