Ha ha, not changing oil, that's totally me, .

Would the 88 CRX be an equal comparison? The number of CRX's sold would be much greater, it would share lots of drive train parts with the other Civics, and it would have the "tuner effect" to extend the life of the parts train.

But I can easily imagine a network of people like jamesqf that would seek to fabricate/replace parts to keep Insight's chugging along.

Question: Is the 1st gen Insight battery pack the same as the 1st gen Civic Hybrid battery pack?
