Wake Up New England Fits!

No posts in the last 30 days? Is everyone hibernating for the winter?

Not my Fit. Love it in the Winter. The only car I can slid on ice and actually control.

Toomey? You don't know Sean Toomey, do you? He went to Rectory with me.

Nope. Sorry. There are a lot of us Toomeys walking around.

We're a rather lazy crowd from NE hah. There's only been one real meet that's gone into fruition. A few of us have met each other that live close by to help out with installs or compare/test out some parts before a buy. Hopefully we can get another meet going again once the weather gets nicer. Last year we had one at Mohegan Sun, it was a lot of fun.

Yeah I was thinking about going to that Meet. Kicking myself now thinking that there would be another meet in the works. I thought it was too far for just me to drive. Now it doesn't seem so bad since I need more hwy miles on my Fit.

Hehe. The guy in the Silver Fit at the end came down from Midstate MA, I forget exactly which town. Of the 3 NHBP Fits, the ones on the end came up from New Jersey. So you wouldn't have been the only one traveling far. We stayed a good while too to make it worthwhile for those who drove far.

I (Silver Fit) came down from Danvers, MA. That was a fun time.

Anyone else experiencing anything like this:

I'm always in tune with my car. I can feel the little pebble in my tire, etc. So, it has come to my attention that it feels like the rear passenger side is lower than the rest of the car. Seems to want to lean more to that side. Ever hear or feel something like this?

Hmm that seems a little weird. Did you load it up recently with anything heavy?

Western Mass checkin' in here. I have been pretty much hibernating for the winter getting parts and waiting for the warm weather to come. Once it hits i will be hitting up a car show that happens every monday in CT, one of the best car shows in the area in my opinion.

I'm from the great state of Maine but finishing my Doctorate in Florida currently. However I'm going to be taking a road trip back north during the summer, when I have a break between terms for about 3 weeks. I'm tagging this thread to keep abreast of any meets that may come around while I'm in the region!

oh yeah, you did mention you were going down to Mohegan.

I haven't noticed it... but I'll be on the lookout for something like that.

Arisenfury · #15 (**permalink**) 03-05-2009, 09:59 PM

I'm leaving for Spain the week of the 20th, if we can get something going before that I'd be down but won't be gambling this time around.

Alright NE Fit Freaks, time to put it together.

I've been sitting around since November (been a member since 06) but I haven't seen any real support here in Beantown ever.

There's been a few on Yarisworld (dare I say the name!) that are congregating from all over NE, even for something like HIN.

I feel that the time has come for the Fit Freaks of New England to make a statement within this community. Checkout Orlando if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

We need support from ALL of the Honda community up here. I've seen A Lot of Fits around Boston, Brookline, Allston, Cambridge, BUT, I have not seen one that has been modified in any which way, shape or form.

Whether or not your Fit is modified, I think there needs to be a meet ASASA (As Soon As Spring Arrives), everyone could get to know each other and who to call on when they may need help with a spring install or what have you.

I'm just putting in my $0.02

I agree with Scott. We NEED to set a date and place on where to meet up. I've been wanting to do this for a long time now (bought my Fit last summer) Let's go people!

How's April sound? Like April 18th or 19th?

Anyone?

Who's got the SSM Sport at CCSU with the wheels? Parked in Welte garage on Monday night 3/16.
