Anyhow, I'd never get the 1st gen Insight because I have no use for a 2-seater since I already have a motorcycle. I would be tempted to take it on as a project car though and then sell it. It has low miles, so I wonder why the battery is dead. Perhaps age is a larger determinant to battery health than miles driven?

Santa barbra traffic is horrible. FOr that car's lifetime, it has been likely driven on a 4 lane freeway that should have been built with 6 lanes (SB/caltrans didn't get rid of stop lights on US101 until the 90's).
