I was coming home from work the other day and up ahead I saw a silver Insight pulling into a gas station. Of course I pulled over to see a fellow Insighter.

Turns out he is a police officer from South Chicago that comes up to Madison on a regular basis. We talked a bit about the hot air mod, adding cruise control and swapped other stories. His daughter was very patient while we talked.

He drives his car pretty hard (65+ on the freeway with a/c on) and has a lot of city driving, but still manages high 50's for gas mileage in his 5 speed. Not bad.

I made sure to give him a GreenHybrid.com business card and my email, and let him know we're always here to help out if needed.

This makes Insight number 5 that I have seen in the Madison area since last October. I'm sure there are more around, we just haven't crossed paths yet.

Haha, you still have those business cards, eh? How did they turn out?

They turned out pretty good. Although I the non-perforated cards I bought from office max tend to "curl" a little bit. Wierd!?!

I use them when I come across hybrid owners who are looking for info. I usually hand print my screen name in case people want to PM me.
