It is a really quiet... car

Yes, that's right.  Car.

I just replaced my 1998 Honda CR-V with a 2010 Honda Insight.  It's a hybrid car, meaning it recaptures energy typically thrown away when I brake to slow down.  Then when I'm accelerating from a stop light, it "helps" the engine move the car using that stored energy (electricity in my case), which means it uses less petrol.  Officially, it gets up to 43 miles per gallon of petrol.  Translation: I used to top up my petrol tank once every 10 days, now I can go 20 days!

Ummm, pictures.  All I have for you is a link to what a generic Insight looks like.  It's been cloudy and raining since I got it Thursday night.  So you'll have to wait a few more days for photos of the actual vehicle.  I did decide to keep my old license plate though, since it is so easy to remember.  Probably not the best number to buy 4D though ;-).

I'll try to post more soon.  It's been really busy at work since Mom and Dad went home.
