Citrus Green (aka Radioactive Kermit Snot) is the only correct Insight colour choice. Low albedo (?), high visibility.

The smart fire departments know.

I can't believe I got mine back in the day for $1400 - it would have qualified for this thread!

No

I think I would be the only person I know IRL who would be okay with me driving a lime green Insight!

A friend was in-town and I asked her to trim the back of my hair. I may be able to do okay with clippers and an 8 attachment, but I figured that I would just let it go--until I was told that if I did not resume seeing clients in-person they would give away my clients.

I may give away a couple of them and the one that I want to keep keeps grabbing my mullet!

After my friend cut my hair we went to lunch and for some reason she drove down the next street and then around to our house.

There is a Metro for sale!

I am trying to see if they posted an ad on-line.

Not this 2005 Honda Civic GX Sedan!

That is only rated 31 MPG highway! Is natural gas that bad?

It starts right away, but needs a new battery and torque converter. The TC doesn't sound fun, but how easily do cars start with bad batteries?

Not this 1998 Nissan Sentra GXE Sedan with 277,000 miles, either!

The front two windows do not roll down and the passenger mirror was already deleted.

I did not find anything on Craigslist and OfferUp just showed spam that I already reported.

What good ever came out of OfferUp?!

I guess that I need to go for a walk later!

Better aero.

Yeah, but the hair gel to make that happen adds too much weight.
