Kinda like the unmolested $700 low miles Civic CX that turned up for sale a day after I picked up my much more spendy '07 Civic "winter beater".
I saw your " beater". Nice find! It be nice to see someone ecomod a newer Civic. Enjoy it!

Yes, it was entirely possible the Insight would have become a money pit. I even thought about putting a little diesel in it...
