Default I just bought another Insight!

and paid a whopping $42 for it. Of course it is 1/43 scale. I have been looking for this one for a while and was willing to pay for it when I found it. I do collect toys so I feel it was justified (see the movie 40 Year Old Virgin and you won't laugh so hard )

'00 Insight "Wazabi" -75,000+ miles
'03 Toyota Matrix - 81,000+ miles
'03 HCH-CVT-OSBM-41,000+ miles (retired 04-10-06)

Thanks for the nice compliments ALL.

Wayne, that garage is a diorama set I picked up from Hobby Lobby on clearence a few years ago. I have very few 1/43 scale cars so it was perfect for my little Insight. Now you all know my hobby, at least this one.

Awesome! Even in your color.

Coming home Sunday night (1/1/06) somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix, I was cruising on by at 70 miles per hour when an Insight rolled by me at about 80 MPH!! I don't remember the color. It was dark anyways. Anyone on this forum?

Yeah...but now you have to change everything in your set to Japanese! The Insight model is right-hand drive.


I've got a blue one on my desk here at work.
