Thanks to everyone who contributes to this site. I couldn't have done it without y'all.  |
Wow. You have developed quite a list of mods too. Nice work. Because of your very-high FE, over time your car will pay for itself in saved gas, depreciation, and insurance when compared to buying replacement lightly used cars.

But it makes more sense to keep the Firefly because it's only got ~30k kilometers on the clock, and the U.F.O. has ~280k.

That's really sensible. In some ways a person could look at the Insight as the "sexier" car (not that we care much) and want to keep it instead. But your calculation is the one I'd like to think I'd make too.
