After my "To Buy or Not to Buy" post and all the helpful comments, I found a 2005 Red Honda Insight CVT at Capitol City Honda in Olympia, Washington. They actually had a manual and an automatic, both in RED. I decided that the automatic would work best for me and I drove it home today! I'll probably be asking this forum lots of questions as I learn how to drive. I reset the lifetime mileage meter so all the miles will be mine. I'm so excited it was hard to park it in the driveway and come into the house. Now I have a big project of cleaning out the garage, lucky it's small and I won't have too much to get rid of to fit it in there. I want to thank everyone who took the time to help me!

Great another tomato on the road.

In Washington we are famous for our apples so I'd prefer to consider my car a Red Delicious Apple! Red Delicious is America's favorite apple. It's right up there with baseball and hot dogs when it comes to all-American goodness. It's a five star snacking apple. Which reminds me, I noticed that several members have cute names for their cars and I'm going to have to think of one for mine. :idea:

That's great! Congratulations! I hope you and your husband enjoy the new apple very much.

Welcome fellow Insighter :!:

Try Searching the MPG forum. Most all of your questions have probably already been asked. But don't feel too shy to ask again if you can't easily find what your looking for. And feel free to add to existing threads as your Insight experience grows.

HTH!

"Red Delicious is America's favorite apple."

Yet another reason to question the taste of the average American Red Delicious apples are horrible - hard, crunchy, not much flavor. Give me a MacIntosh, a Rome, a Cortland...

I'm sorry but the Insight does not remind me of an Apple. It's a tomato for sure!

World's fastest tomato. Certain to give the pip to owners of "now you see it - now you don't " silver Insights 8)

...perhaps, but many are blown away, green with envy even, by the pace of a flying "Papaya"!

Apple is a sweet name, but may not be the best choice near Bill Gates. Of apples, the Braeburn is unbeatable ...spicy, crisp, compact and exotic.

Seattle is my hometown, most of my family there, et al. I bring this up only because today I made six pans of Nanaimo Bars in preparation for the upcoming holidays...there I was, covered in chocolate and graham cracker crumbs daydreaming about chinook salmon (spotted from tip to tail, unlike the coho or sockeye) and those beautiful mountains!

Enjoy your Insight, whatever name you give it! Regards and Congratulations!

woohoo!

Here's to getting what you want and not what the local dealer wants to sell. :twisted:

Looking forward to hearing how you find driving the car around here.

Enjoy your new Insight! I hope it provides you with many pleasurable and low cost miles.
