Sorry for the delay y'all. Life has picked up this week and kept me away from taking pictures and posting.

The pick up went extremely well! It took ~15 minutes at max to sign everything and exchange the money. I am now an extremely proud owner of a 1st Gen Insight!

Build/repair/fun thread to start soon

I got 60.6 mpg over 124.1 miles that night. This was driving it hard through Springfield, hitting 90% of the red lights and then back home on the highway. All the tires were between 32-37 psi BTW.

It was knocking down 75-85 mpg @ 60 mph!

Since then, I've been averaging 50 mpg around town. Driving to work and random errands, mostly cold starts and drives. This is without any hybrid assist in hilly terrain. Only "mods" are early upshifting and elevated tire pressure (60f/55r).
