Me too! Modding starts in ~1-2 weeks, after I do its 2nd fill-up.

Any impressions on who would win a "drag race", a Metro or an Insight?
The aero-modded Flea might tie a stock Insight. But I have the impression that rolling resistance is much lower on the RE92's, so the Insight would pull away at the very end. I plan to compare the 2 cars' rolling resistance soon. Maybe I'll do a higher speed drag race as well. Will report back.
