The Flea shot in the wild! Cell phone pic posted on another forum.

I am happy to report that back in January the car was photographed by someone on a biking forum and posted in a thread about weird cars.

The poster wrote:

I found this Fire Fly in Lunenburg yesterday. At first glance i thought it was some sort of new hybred. I'll see if i can get a better photo.

Glad to join the ranks of the AeroCivic and AndrewJ's Civic! Both have been shot in the wild too.

The funny part is how I found out: by sheer coincidence, I met the guy who took the picture in a round about way after contacting the local bike shop. I was looking for people to mountain bike with and ended up going riding with a couple of guys a couple of weeks ago.

"YOU own that car?" one asked.

Me: "Yup."

Him: "HA! I posted a pic of it on a forum. I actually stopped my car, and backed up to get it."

I can say it took adding the Kammback to make it odd enough to attract any attention. The front wheel skirt takes it to another level entirely.

How do we know you're not just making this all up?

Now that he met you, he can take better pics and post them.

I noticed on your screenshot that you had at least 4 tabs open with EcoModder Now, lets have a look at what else you were surfing through...
