even worse: try teaching someone to drive using it! i let my 16 year old use it a bit to show him how to drive a stick. did you know that if you try hard enough you can get the front wheels to spin before they grab and the engine stalls??? he did it twice! that was enough. for now. back to his 800 dollar camry. with an automatic. one less thing to learn all at once.

btw, even with all his time playing video games, he is amazed at how much an analog system (the car) differs from the digital world (the games). but he is getting the hang of it.

hahaha yup... the Insight does have some good power. Of course, most of us don't tap into it because that's just a waste of precious gas.
