Cant just buy a new car, rather build my own

gotta stay with Honda because they are magical

I would ride my ninja 250 while I found a clean Insight shell. I would then install a k20a3 with a custom turbo kit and programmed to leanburn with hydrogen injection (NOT HHO!). I would modify the rear to accommodate a awd Honda wagovan rear end that would be coupled to a brushless electric motor with regen capabilities. It would also have solar panels on the roof flush mounted and would have the option of plug in charging.

400+hp awd hybrid Insight

It would cost about 15K from start to finish and would be capable of 80+ mpg and a sub 12 second quarter mile.
