Here is the link to the original CL ad:

I spent an hour on the phone with him when I found the ad and became set on the red one. We began talking about efficiency and I talked to him about Ecomodder. I told him about the site, what it was about. He said that he had been here a time or two before (no surprise!).
We talked on and on about members projects, my Escort, his Insight and how I became a moderator on the site. After I got off the phone, I sent him links to my ZX2 build, MetroMPG's 100+ mpg Insight boattail thread and the aesthetic Insight boattail build (can't remember the name). He appreciated them and was going to check them out.
Couple days past...
Then he randomly messages me "$1000 and it's yours. I want it to have a good home."
I was blown away!
I have not asked him directly, but it seems that he saw my work and the work of others on here and decided to drop the price solely based upon the assumption his Insight would be absolutely cherished. My work would not be on here if I had not been inspired by others before me to record and have so much fun with increasing mpg!
I'm getting a $1500 reduction in price because of you fellow ecomodders! I want to say thank y'all with all my heart!!!
