InsightMan Feedback

Due to incredible spam attacks, I've discontinued this section of my website and abandoned my insightman email address. If you want to email me, you can send it to john atsign beljan dot c o m (remove all spaces after "john", replace atsign with @, replace the dot with a period--I hope this crude encryption prevents the tons of spam that shut down my hotmail account).

I'm collecting Insight acquisition stories for all to read. Tell me how how you learned about the Insight, how long you waited to buy it, the last 3 or 4 digits of your VIN/serial number (mine's 221), and what you think about your car of the future. Please tell me if you don't want your e-mail address included with your story.

Also, if you would like to ask an Insight-related question, make a comment, or, in the case of Honda, demand that I cease and desist, send me a message. My real name is John and you can reach me at insightman@hotmail.com. Selected messages that I think might interest others will appear below.
