    Well i live in a town about only 3000 people. so i was going around town today and saw a comet so i went to go look at it the guy came up in his maverick and i talked to him for awhile he offered to buy my car....yea right....then on the way back home i saw a MAv that i have seen before driving around. Yet another time today i saw a man in about his 80's driving around in a white mav kind beat up.So I was wondering how many MAvs/Comets do you see in a week? or day. i see about 2 a week. but today i saw 4 pretty good.

    I see a orange (could be really old red) small bumper maverick drive by when I'm on my way to work. I see a big bumper Comet on the way home. Not everyday but pretty often. Kinda brightens up my day to see them running around:D . One day I hope to catch the maverick guy at a gas station, but no luck thus far.

    You would think that in a city as big as Houston, there'd be the occasional glimpse of one - not so.

    Other than Ed's, I've only seen ONE on the streets in the past 6 months and only ONE in the previous 6 months. :huh:

    The only Mavs I see are the three I own. There is tales of one around here that is all stock and belongs to the original owner, but I havent been able to track him down.

    Around here there are 5, my 2, a friend of mine has 1 (but it's in his garage in a thousand pieces), another guy has a black 70, and once in awhile I've seen a blue and white 76 or 77 with curb feelers running around, but thats the way it's been for years, even 10 years ago I was usually the only one around.

    I see mine daily :D

    Kid down the street has a 73 grabber in the driveway, almost done, but still up on ramps. He has 3 in the back yard (for sale).

    I was seeing a rusty blue 74 for sale at a local shop. It either did not sell and they hauled it off (my guess) or it finally sold.

    That is what I see weekly.

    Monthly, I may see one at a construction site within 5 miles of the house, and a periodic one parked here and there.

    Again, down in the Houston area, there aren't all too many of them out and about...
