I used to think about making my own car (and I have the workshop tools, space and most of the skills) but then I figured a Gen 1 Honda Insight is a far better outcome than I would ever achieve.

I'm glad you were the first to reply. What would it take technically? Very aerodynamic, an efficient engine operating at its peak, lightweight, etc.
What mpg does the Insight get?
