Default met insight owner while buying shoes

my chiropractor sent me to a local running store to buy a special sock to help treat my plantar faciitis, which is still given me fits. while i was there i decided to get a pair of running shoes, in the hope they would also make walking a little more comfortable. the sales guy (who looks even a lot younger than my daughter) and i got to talking, and i suggested the foot problem might have come from my driving style. i said i had a hybrid, and he told me he had an insight! blue! we had a great conversation, he told me his max mpg during the summer was 87! i gave him the site name here, he says he logs onto insightcentral (?) perhaps chuck or somebody has spoken to a nice young guy from minnesota........

.

Best fill 66.7 MPG, best tank 801.5 miles

Default Re: met insight owner while buying shoes

Good for you! It's neat to actually meet up with an enthusiastic hybrid owner, isn't it? Ocassionaly I get the "Hybrid Wave" from other Insight owners. Something I used to even get in the HCH before they became mainstream.

.

'00 Insight "Wazabi" -75,000+ miles
'03 Toyota Matrix - 81,000+ miles
'03 HCH-CVT-OSBM-41,000+ miles (retired 04-10-06)
"I'm very secure with my little Insight, no Prius envy here."
