:o

So I was at a stop light a few days ago in South Bend, Indiana when I saw an Insight turning onto the street I was about to travel on. So me being partial to Insights, after it turned green for me, I quickly (without being reckless) sped up to him just to praise his car...maybe see if it was my old Insight...which it wasn't. But I followed him for a few blocks to where it became a 4 lane road. I got up next to him at a stop light, looked over at him and nodded and he nodded back I had no intentions at all in racing him, although I think he did. It turned green and I was letting the clutch out to drive like a granny like I ussually do when all the sudden all I see is a little silver speck, that used to be an energy efficient eco friendly 3-banger, at least 2 bus lengths in front of me. :blink: I never caught back up to him again, I think he turned soon after that... The moral of the story is, its not often that I have to worry about being shown up, especially by a hybrid vehicle. But if I ever meet up with him at the track, I believe he could give me a run for my money.

I am not aware of any aftermarket for these cars, that is why I am so stoked about this. This had to be a custom turbo job or something.

If any of you are this person, please PM me! We gotta get together and talk cars sometime

Nope, it was silver. Don't know if it was Silverstone or the darker greyish silver. I think it was Silverstone though.

Maybe it was an Insight with Nitrous!
