He needs at least one car with a working heater! Arcimotos and aircooled VW's are similar that way.

Congrats on obtaining what looks like an unmolested, original paint XFi! (That's an assumption, but who would replace the factory decal if they re-painted it?)
Stock 12 inchers too!
I have owned or driven many of my "bucket list" eco-cars, but since the XFi was never sold north of the 49th, I've never even seen one, much less driven one.
That said, I do own an XFi economy camshaft, which is employed in (swapped between) both my 2000 Metro and 1998 Firefly. I've dreamed of removing one of my piston compression rings to get my ring count down to XFi levels as well, but haven't gone to that extreme. Yet.
