I do notice fewer of them listed here as well. I think that last part is a key factor. I'd bet there are probably a growing number of them languishing away in garages and backyards, victims of the tin worm, with owners who aren't quite sure what to do with them. At some point you get down to the owners you mentioned, who will keep them on the road for a long time.
