It's a very clean example of a thrifty car. I've thought about cleaning my engine bay like you've done and polishing my motor mounts, but unless I can keep the salt spray out of there, it's a losing battle.

Your first picture reminds me of something I've been wondering about. Why did Honda put the engine in front of the driver and the tranny in front of the passenger for so many years? It seems to me that's backwards from a crash safety perspective.

And I have to ask, since you have an Insight, what do you use the VX for?
