Before the Fit, my parents bought me a 1999 Civic EX. I added the whole shabang. Installed full I/H/E and other goodies. After seven years I decided to part with it, because I wanted to buy my own car, so my parent's would stop saying "We bought you a car so you better do what we say." I needed a car that would fit my lifestyle, and most of all start a new project car. I fell in love with the Civic hatch, but there were too many on the road. I needed something new. Something that would represent me. So I bought the first MT Sport Fit to hit Tacoma, WA.
I got married on July of 2006. Of course I brought the Fit, and it came in handy with all the gifts we received.
My full time job is working as a Mentor at an alternative school. All the students love fast muscle cars, so they were making fun of the Fit. I keep on telling them that the Fit is capable of doing so much more like Auto X racing. I'm sure they'll change their mind once I add some goodies onto it.
Gas prices are a pain right now. That's why my wife and I are happy we purchased fuel effecient cars. Her Yaris kicks my but in MPG, but I enjoy driving mine more.
Even though I'm married now, and working two jobs takes up a lot of my time, I still have fun every now and then with the tuner world.
The best part is that I can still be with my two loves... at the same time.
The Fit has done so much for me within one year, so now it's time to give back. A little bling and some rumble to the engine might just do the trick.
