Old Rims?
Dan,
You could probably sell your old rims, or wheels. Might help to pay for your MIMA! And keep one for a real spare tire instead of that donut thing. There's enough room in the spare well for a real one. I might be inclined to buy one. Nice pic's!!!

Your Insight looks great. All you need now is rippling red LEDs in the radiator grille, just like KITT / Knight Rider. (How sad am I?) :wink:

Re: Paint
Depending on the paint used, not baking it could be curing it the wrong way. I'm not an expert bodyman but I've been known to play one on TV and having just enough knowledge in the area to be dangerous I know that most modern paints are designed to be baked. Without baking you won't get full solvent evaporation which will leave the paint weak and porous.

Me

Car
I prefer the original Honda wheels, but.... GOD that's gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. Why, oh why, won't Honda sells black insights in the United States?
When you decide to sell it, and if it does not have too many miles, please put me as #1 on your list.

When I decide to sell it, too many miles
Troy,
Thank you for the compliment! I'm not done yet, but you know how it is. the rear fence and the rear deck get their due before I spend any more on her. I'll probably drive it till someone totals it, God forbid. I already have 249,600 miles and I've restored it to almost new. Thanks again!

WOW. That's a lot of miles. My last car died at 340,000 (rod broke & destroyed engine), and I was happy to get rid of it. Needed a change.
Why's it called a "Who" mobile? Is that a reference to Doctor Who? I don't see the connection, since I don't recall the Doctor driving a sports car? Although I guess an Insight is better than a Model T. :wink:
Can't wait to see the new 2005 Doctor on Sci-Fi Channel (again). I've only watched it three times. :lol:

So how has the Insight held up over those 250,000 miles?
Does the engine sound funny?
Leaking oil?
Other age-related problems?

Re: Does the enginge sound funny?
AFAI remember your on your 2nd engine (used) and 2nd (3rd from new) used IMA pack. And you've had a few other not too unreasonable problems. IMO the engine problem was a bit early and the IMA pack(s) were the luck of the draw being used. But you know how to compair it to the other vehicles you've owned better than I.
I guess "rock solid" means different things to different people.
Sincerely,
