The gym has TVs and occasionally one of those commercials comes on. It's great when at the end of a grueling cardio workout, because I'm laughing so hard the pain is almost gone!

P.S. The "Smiling Bob" commercial is in trouble in several states as a deceptive ad.

I can't understand the over-the-top humor in those commercials as being deceptive

Great. Now I have that whistling tune stuck in my head.
Probably be there all night.

Default Another Little Insight Grip

Tracey,

I doubt there is better dashboard than the Insight's, at least from the way it presents information.

I don't like the lighting button. You press it and it's supposed to gradually adjust, but to me, it's either "bright" or "dim".

The situation I dislike: when the headlights are turned on, the dashboard is often too dim if there is much daylight. You must press the lighting button down for three seconds to get it bright enough.

P.S. This is not an Insight bug, but I like the split-level dash on the 2006 Civic that virtually puts the speed on the windshield. The perfect dash would be a 2006 Civic layout with the Insight info and a built-in ScanGage II.

Thanks for the heads-up, Tracey. I'll be moving from Florida to the top of *** Hill in SF on the 1st of the month - gives me an idea of what to expect.

i wasn't complaining about the dash display. i was just talking about the heater/AC controls and the stereo controls. everything else is groooovy.

Tracey,

I was just adding my little rap list (which is tiny).

Of course, there is big dream list (clean diesel-hybrid, manually-controled Assist....)
