I used to have a 2000 Honda insight that I ripped the hybrid battery out of and just drove it on the 3 cylinders. That thing was geared so high I would drive up hills flooring it in 2nd gear at like 35 mph. 5th gear basically never got used unless I needed to go 85 mph+

Fun car that stranded me only a couple times lol. The “replacement” hybrid battery was an Arduino spliced into the wiring harness to trick the car computer that everything was okay. Felt like some real ghetto cyberpunk shit driving that thing around.

They don't sell too many little cars like the Metro in the U.S. anymore. Sad really.

I had a similar car, the 1990 Ford Escort Pony. It had a hamster for an engine, but it was fine because the body was a shoebox.
