It's JDM

Dead giveaway for that is the funny little mirror above the headlight on the front left.

Also, I'm sure I read somewhere the Japanese don't use salt on their roads, they have heating pipes that run under the surface to melt snow and ice, at least in the towns that are prone to it in winter.

That would explain why 50 years later they still don't have this North American salt thing figured out. When we first had Honda Accords here, not sure if they were building them in Marysville at that time, but my boss had one of the first gen, and it rusted through in the TOP of the fenders, next to the hood.

It was like this, but I remember the rust-thru being further down the fender, pretty much directly above the tire. And remember, this was 1981-82, so the car was only a few years old, 5 or 6 max. Of course, cars rusted a lot faster back then, before factory rustproofing and galvanized panels. Of course the joke at the time was that Japanese cars were made from the recycled steel from our rusted out junkyard cars. I guess those people had never seen a Vega.

 
The Accord started being made here in 1982, pretty sure they were for the North American market only. Your right about how the rust was back then and my Godfather had a brand new Vega back in the early 70's and the wiper assembly rusted into the cowl

I almost bought one of those as my first car, I bought a Datsun instead, kept that barely a year.
 
Sandro from CCAD has a vintage Honda civic.

My mums first car was a first gen Civic in that silvery baby blue colour. Back then they were a great car, vastly better made than the Aussie stuff.

No doubt the latest Civic is nice, but the the price they ask for them is extortionate, $50,000 for the base model........................that price would have bought you the manic Type R not that long ago. Crazy.

 
Out for an early evening gallop...............................

I still don't see many of the new ones around here, lots of Rangers of course, and more recently about 4 of the new Prados, one of which may have replaced a previous model Mustang, the blue one I posted up a year or so back.

Apart from my own, the one that arrived with my car, and a Darkhorse showroom ornament, I've only spotted a black GT Fastback and a Vapor Blue GT Fastback on the road. The monthly sales numbers are reasonably healthy for the class and about normal for Mustang. There was a stop sale for about two months due to a screen recall, then then another two months delay due to a quarantine issue, so that's slowed the spread so to speak.

I saw a Darkhorse on a local Detailing FB page (Top Rank Detailing)
And one in my neighbourhood like yours Deyon,but only a fly in fly out.
