Anyway, I am taking my chances because my feelings usually do not get hurt. Also, I have a couple questions I really need to know. I should say again that I am new to computers (yea, really..the high tech stuff complicates my life opposed to what other people say that it makes their life easier.) so a bit of patience might be needed.

I just drove home the Honda Fit after trading in my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. I am so confused just about the back seats, that my OCD is in overdrive.

As far as the USB port (or would it be called cable) in the glove compartment. I cannot think of what that is for except I am hoping I can use for my notebook; that has been sitting in the box for 2 months; on my trip across to wherever? if not, can somebody tell me in plain words what it is for?

The sales guy said the plug type port (where I would try to plug in my shaver charger or some headphones) is for an ipod and the cigarette lighter port is for an inverter type unit. I do not even know how to word this stuff, but what I really want to know is if there is anyway with all the ports (especially the one that looks like a USB port) to use a notebook computer in the car? (and not while driving...)

Also, the sales guy did not explain the "S" on the gear shift very well. he said do not get too excited about that but it is for using the paddles on the steering wheel as a manual auto and really does not work and can ruin the car. I thought that was awesome because I wanted a manual but of course he could not find one. (Not ruin the car but a car that can be used as an automatic and a manual.) He apparently could only find the most expensive Fit.

Can someone explain to me are the paddles on the steering wheel to be used like a stick shift? Is it bad for the car if i use the paddles while the gear stick is in "D?"

I looked up all these question BTW but I could not find a straight answer. if the paddles make the car a manual, that is an awesome invention (i think).

Thanks

There ain't no meanies here...
