Got a chance to visit the unloading yard outside Pitts., PA the other week. Vehicles come off the train there and are put on trucks bound for dealers. These are the knuckle-heads that are "breaking in" your Fits. (At least for the northeast) They have no qualms about zipping around with unsold cars. They get $7 per hour, so they don't care. That's part of the reason that even a Fit that has never seen a test drive will still have 5-10 miles or so on it. Driven from the plant to the gas stand, to the ship to the train to the truck to the dealer.
