Here in Tampabay Florida I used to see an Insight once every week or two. I swear I haven't seen one in at least 6 months! What's up with that?

You got the first one of this never ending question in for 06.

Of course the answer is yes, no car has lived forever. The only question is when and no one will know for sure 'til it happens.

HTH!

 

[dfiore]

not what I meant

seems they are dying off. You'd think I'd still see them once in awhile

 

[Rick]

I still see them about as often as I have before. Of course AZ is probably an entirely different demographic than Florida. There are deffinitely a bunch of Pri here now though.

prious's

They're all over here too, like weeds. AND STILL NOT AS GOOD AS MY 6 YEAR OLD INSIGHT!

Insight

Don't know what's up with the Pri people. I beep and wave and they usually ignore you, what's up with that? Still quite a few Insights Sarasota way and south. My '05 and me will be around for ever, if possible. Jack

insight

i live in brandon,fl but work in sarasota. the past 2 mornings i have seen a silver insight pass me going north on I-75. There is also a green one around town. maybe i'll see 2 in 30 minutes....haha.

 

[dfiore]

keep an eye out

I have a black one. Honk if you see me!

Dfiore how many miles are you up to on yours now 250K, 300K ? I 'm sure you've still got the highest mileage. And repainted to boot.

 

[dfiore]

highest mileage

I just broke 240,000 yesterday. I do have a new enging and transmission in it. 48k about 20k ago

 

[Big D Insightman]

You should post a new picture of the newly painted almost 1/4 millon mile black Insight. This would be great sort of poster child for everyone to print off and show all the naysayers. You are getting close to the mileage I got out of my 88 CRX HF (320K).

Usually its just a delayed reaction, I don't wave until too late.

There are so many Pri people around Dallas that I rarely ever wave anymore because I have given up on them. I bet that after the introduction of the Camry(Hybrid) later this year there will tons of them riding around here as well. I wouldn't trade mine for 10 Pri's or Camry(hybrids).

 

[benighted]

I wouldn't trade mine for 10 Pri's or Camty(hybrids).

Just becasue they don't wave at you? If you ever see a classic Prius they always wave. I think the more common a car gets, they less they pay atention to each other or at least stop waving at the increasing number of Prii they see on their commute each day. I wouldnt' trade my Prius for an Insight but I would buy one to have as my second car. I heard they have nice sprty handling that I like and the exta 5-10 MPG would be nice too.

waving

My other vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler X, and wrangler owners wave at each other too. makes ya feel good.

I saw a nice-looking green one today in Colorado Springs. The owners (from New Mexico?) said they had just bought it, a 2000 with 40k miles.
