How Many Are Left?

I just got to thinking...how many of us that bought a GD Fit new and still have it are left here on the forum? Can I get a show of hands?

Just because every thread is better with pics, here's a few of ours that I took this week. Share yours too if you have some!

The guy I bought mine from (he bought it new) used to post on here when he owned it. Does that count?

Close! What year did you buy yours?

I'm guessing there's not a lot of people that choose to buy and then own an "economy" car for 11 years.

Leased my Fit since new (demo car), then bought it out.

Back in 2009 when I become a RO of it

Ten years later, this morning. Badly scratched mirrors, 4th set of tires, new genuine Honda wiper inserts in old wiper blades, door dings, yellowing lights (polished with toothpaste), faded clear coat on the roof, wheels rims painted with cheapest black paint back in 2015, refurbished door and trunk locks, Honeywell Honda oil filter and Hitachi coils.

I've still got my 2008 Sport that I purchased new. Other than a transmission controller, there's been nothing needed but routine maintenance. My son drives it primarily now. I get the 2012 CRV; my wife gets the 2016 Outback.

Bought my red 2007 manual transmission FIT in June 2006 and still use it as my only car. Just hit 55,000 miles! Very enjoyable and dependable car.

Heyy I haven't visited this forum in forever, but bought new in April 2007 and still driving it. MT sport SS with 123K miles.

In this time, I've added two car seats in the back and the rear hatch can fit double strollers, wagons, you name it! Love this whip. Plus I've used it to move half a dozen times.

Only recent pic I could find on my phone is this one when I cleaned it up and did the spark plugs a couple months ago. Need to take some glamour shots of it..it's been awhile.

Sig is current =) btw is there a 10 year medal? lol
