Hi Eliot, Thanks! I received $5k for my '01 Insight with 135,000 miles on it. Honestly, if I had the resources (both financial and physical) I probably would ...

I have faith (crossing the fingers), I did just pony up and buy a 06 Civic Hybrid. You have to remember these were true proof of concept cars. The new Civic...
