2001 Honda Hybrid Insight.

I am the third owner.  I purchased from a local teacher and she purchased from a local teacher who purchased it from the Honda dealership new.

I absolutely love this car!  I am selling it because it needs to be driven and I am not driving it enough. 

The IMA battery (the electric battery) was replaced on 7/19/12 for the second time.  

The new battery is waranteed by the Honda dealership for three years from the time of installation.

All servicing while I have owned the vehicle has been done by the Honda Tony dealership in Waipahu.

The first time the battery was replaced they said I wasn't driving the car enough.  I have only driven this car 5,510 miles in 16 months.  It needs to be driven much more than I do to keep the IMA battery in shape.

This also happened the second time it was replaced.  So, I am selling it because this car needs to be owned by someone who will drive it.  PERFECT commuter car.  It gets up to 70mpg!

Aluminum body won't rust in the tropical humidity!

These cars were produced to be driven on the freeways as commuter cars.

The gas mileage is phenomenal on this vehicle.  You will be very happy.

This vehicle has been in one minor collision.  I was on my way to hula practice and some little old lady bumped into the back.  The insurance fixed to new status.

There is a scrape and please view the photos on the front driver's side quarter panel.  This was done when it was parked while I was surfing here on the North Shore.  Only cosmetic as the most important aspects are the IMA battery which is basically new and also the impeccable servicing which was all done at the dealership.

Extras include WET OKOLE custom car neoprene seat covers (see photos) and also custom window tinting on all windows except of course the front windshield.

Driver's side window has some minor issues when trying to raise it.  It raises but slowly sometimes.

Car is VERY clean inside and out.  I take very good care of my cars.  I am NOT a smoker and never allowed any smokers in the car.  I also know this to be true with the first two owners as well.

I do own a yellow lab and he rode with me infrequently in the car.  I do keep it vacuumed and clean carpets frequently.

Please contact me with any other questions you might have.  I am NOT a dealer, so I am representing this vehicle as honestly and fairly as possible.

She is a great little car and gets the WOW factor when you drive her around the island.  She looks like a little space capsule !  If you want attention while driving it, you will get it with this car.

I get stares while driving all the time.  I just wave and honk!

Aloha and thank you for looking at this listing.

Minnesota tinkerer selling off 500-plus motorcycles, dirt bikes and scooters

Tue, Sep 17 2019

For 25 years, Tony Joslyn's entire life has orbited around motorcycles. After getting into bikes at an early age, Joslyn turned his passion into Road Rash, a salvage house where Joslyn would buy and sell two-wheelers and their parts. He wasn't picky with his workings, either, as he has accrued motorcycles across a huge range of decades and brands. And now it's all up for sale.  Suzukis, Yamahas, Harley-Davidsons, Hondas, Kawasakis, and more from the '60s, '70s, '60s, '90s, and '00s are all currently listed on K-Bid.com. There is a variety of size, styles, colors and setups, and a press release says most of the bikes are 'complete and ready for restoration or a tuneup." For Joslyn, the collection just became too much to deal with after all these years.  "It's time to clear the herd and slow down," Joslyn said in a release. "Once it starts to feel like a job, you lose some of the joy. I'm looking forward to getting back to working a few motorcycles now and then. ... It's hard to pick a favorite out of the collection, as I am partial to all of them, but I've always enjoyed the Kawasaki 3-cylinders." The bikes are located in Clarks Grove, Minnesota, directly south of Minneapolis roughly near the Iowa border. Interested parties can visit and inspect the bikes before purchasing, and there's plenty of time to do so. Open now, the auction will close October 2, 2019.  This content is hosted by a third party.

Honda promises all-new Ridgeline within two years

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Despite an aging design and low sales, Honda has remained committed to its Ridgeline pickup truck. Now, in its first official confirmation of a next-gen Ridgeline, Honda has released a teaser sketch (click to enlarge) of the new truck and promised a debut within two years, as previously reported.
The sketch shows the direction that Honda is planning for its new truck, which appears to ditch the single-piece body in favor of a more conventional pickup truck design. Even with the new design, it's not clear if Honda will move away from the Ridgeline's car-based platform shared with the Odyssey, Pilot and Accord. Sales of the Ridgeline dipped to below 10,000 units in 2011 but have increased steadily over the last two years (including 29 percent so far in 2013) with slightly more than 16,000 units on the year.
As for the current Ridgeline, Honda will wind down production at the Lincoln, AL assembly plant sometime during the middle of next year. The press release for the announcement is posted below.

Honda CR-Z carbon-fiber prototype

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

When Honda rolled out the CR-Z a few years ago, it hoped to bridge the gap between those who would save the planet and those who would rather burn all of its resources in a glorious cloud of tire smoke. But enthusiasts recalling the CRX of 1980s vintage balked, imploring Honda to ditch the heavy battery packs and electric motors in favor of a lighter-weight, more conventional powertrain. At this point it seems less likely that Honda would do so at one end of the market than Porsche would ditch the hybrid component of its 918 Spyder at the other. But that doesn't mean Honda isn't still cooking up ways to curb the CR-Z's weight. And it had just one such idea waiting for us when we visited its Japanese R&D center at Tochigi last week.
Nestled in between the JDM hatchbacks, powertrain test mules and new technology prototypes Honda rolled out for us sat the experimental CR-Z you see here. While it may look mostly like the hybrid sport-hatch you can pick up at your local dealer (albeit blacked out), nearly all of this prototype's bodywork has been completely replaced, as have its basic underpinnings, with carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. The exotic material is usually reserved for high-end exotics, but like BMW is democratizing its use in the new i3, so too is Honda researching ways to implement the use of carbon fiber on a mass scale. This one-of-a-kind CR-Z prototype stands, for the time being, as the embodiment of that effort.
