EGR system

I’m definitely hopeful that I can avoid buying a new EGR valve. I pick up the gaskets and o-rings tomorrow morning, we’ll see what happens.

I’ve only been driving the Insight for eight days now, but it’s already my favorite.

It’s interesting that you liken this car to a Ferrari, I used a similar metaphor when I told a very skeptical friend that in the realm of economical cars, the Insight is a McLaren F1. When I let off the gas in fifth gear and the Insight coasts along, relinquishing it’s forward momentum but only very stingily, the MPH digits unwinding but only at slow intervals--that to me is an awesome experience, but I guess I’m preaching to the choir.
