Share what you did today with the 2019 Honda Insight community!

Example: Cleaned and re-arranged the garage to make space for the Inight. My wife's Accord will be evicted effective after 12pm today :grin:

Example: Finally got my window tints done, now I can't open my windows for a week.


Example: Gave it a wash and applied wax for paint protection.


Anything goes!

Found screw in my driver rear tire. Since there is no spare/jack etc. I have to get my car towed to a local Honda dealer. It's a good thing that I just got home from work and have the rest of my day free.

did the dealer replace the tire or patch it? free of charge?

 

[kayvee]

No, they charged me to plug the tire.

When I traded in my 2018 HRV I removed the seat covers I had put on to keep the original seats looking good. Tried to put those seat covers on the insight. I was surprised they fit the Insight fine except the head rest covers are a little big. Just put an old t shirt in each headrest cover and they fit OK now. I added HUSKY floor liner and trunk liner that fit great. Put stick on blind spot mirrors on side mirrors that work well.

That is the reason I just bought a spare tire and jack. I wouldn't hit the interstate without it.

Where did you get your spare and jack from, and for how much? I want to get those for my Insight but don't want to pay full price for them. I know you can get a spare tire and jack for a 2016-2019 Civic and it would work, but none of my body shops in the area have them or they are asking too much for them.

FRR posted in one of the 'spare tire' threads that he was able to purchase the Civic spare from a salvage yard for $85, which is a great price. I found my Civic spare tire on eBay and added the Insight-specific OEM foam insert for $25. These threads may offer tips for your search -?

Thanks. The local salvage yard wanted $103 for the tire and $90 for the jack and lugnut wrench (not including the foam insert). Seemed kinda high so figured I'll shop around some more.

Definitely shop around at those prices. At a minimum, get the spare tire and hold-down bolt. AAA has everything else they'd need on their truck!

I was able to source the whole shebang in NJ for about $120 - foam tool holder included.

I'm busy ripping my CD collection so I can put them on a thumb drive. Using Windows Media player to rip them in flac format which is lossless. I will need a 128 GB drive. Boring work on a cold day.

 

[stevew]

I washed and cleaned mine! (first time I was able since I had my shoulder surgery)!

 

[stevew]

Well, I didn't actually do it, but since my A maintenance reminder came on I took it to a nearby dealership and had the oil changed and had new windshield wiper blades installed.

Drove it to the grocery store to get a bottle of bourbon

Wow. November 28th, and I was able to hand-wash two cars today! It had been about two months since I last washed my Insight due to the lack of driving and shortness of trips. My daughter is back at dance class (for now), so I'm enjoying the 80-mile round trips again. It's nice to have a clean and shiny car. Oh, crap! It's going to rain Monday! Of course it is - I just washed the cars.
