Yeah, all the RE92's I've seen are prone to cracking like that. I guess they pushed the boundaries in terms of whatever ingredients are in the rubber compound to make them roll like magic.

Glad to hear you're still enjoying yours. I haven't seen a G1 Insight on the road in 2 or 3 years, I think.

One of (if not THE) neatest car I've owned.
