Unhappy

Dang, I would love to be there, but I wont be in Houston until the 14th. I will be there from the 14th to the 20th or there abouts. But I cant leave Corpus until the morning of the 14th.

I wish we could move the date to next weekend so you can attend as well, but then I think some of the others might not be free then. The main goal here is to get as many Insight owners to attend as possible, and it is hard because of conflicting schedules.

But it would be great to have you also, if by any chance you are able to make it. Thanks

No chance as I have an appointment here in Corpus on the evening of the 13th. But maybe I could visit with one or two of you who are in Houston while I am there? I have only met ONE Insight owner in the 2.5 years I have owned mine. I will be staying with friends in Jersey Village.

Jim, I would be happy to meet up with you while you are in town. I have a brother that lives near Huffmeister & 290 & I am in The Woodlands, so not too far. Send me a PM & we can exchange info & hopefully get together.

I'm excited to be there on the 11th. We'll have to make this a regular thing. I do think it would be fun to show up at Coffee and Cars in all our little cars some day...

I would be interested too. But if lach, weslich, & MIUBHI are free next weekend as well, then we can move the meet to then so that Jim can attend as well? If not then we can still have the 11th meet, and maybe a "mini" meet with Jim.

We can do the Coffee and cars for January. It would be funny to park a group of insights with a bunch of other exotics like Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. I think the Insight can be justified as an exotic car... right?

"Lightweight, all-aluminum and composite, limited production two-seater, um... 80hp WITH full assist"

In seriousness, it's a unique and fun to drive car, just a complete 180 from the ferrari fun...

Not really. I went "Cruising" with the Corvette Club of Southern Missouri sumer before last. There was a passel Corvettes and one Insight. I just tucked in behind the lead 'vette and away we went at 85mph. It was a great trip, I was making 73 mpg and they were getting 18 mpg. They were jealous of me. One of them actually bought an Insight two months later.
