Look what my 2007 Honda Fit did today

Ok finally got to my first car show of the year and it was fun. It was hosted by a Scion dealership, Scions got to show for free, we had to pay but it was OK supported our local car club. I was up until after 11:00 PM after a really hard day at work which just beat me down. Washed, clayed and waxed then interior detailing and detailing the engine bay.

Here were some of the nice cars that were also showing :










Here is the MR ready to go - nice location on the river.

Guess what the Honda Fit MR took home.....



Yup, you are seeing it correctily - the Fit took the
win for Best Tuner car -


I still can not believe it. Several people came up to ask me qustions about the car and said that they really love the mods I had done it. One guy wanted to know what made me decide to do anything with the car since I was not a young person - I blamed it on my Fit Freaks! and Marc and his Mugened MR Fit in Siphon. Anyway wanted to share that we did better at the show than I expected. Had a great time hanging out with car people and got a nice award to put on the wall. I was shocked when my name was called for this placing because I consider a tuner car one that has performance mods but they like the way I had selected a theme and had kept true to that theme.

It was on Magic Island sponsored by Bert Wolfe Ford/Scion in conjunction with WV Motor Sports the on line car forum for WV car crazy people. If you join the forum you will get notices on any car shows and there are several coming up soon. Glad to see another WV Fit owner on the forum! I wish there were enough of us to have a Fit Meet some Saturday. We do have cruise ins at Quaker Steak and Lube just about every month unless it gets rained out and this is through WV Motor Sports. As for the age thing I just turned 53. Like you said we still love our cars Thanks everybody for the congrads! My Mom wanted to know what Best Tuner meant - LOL!

That rules! Now I just need to be able to continue to convince my wife that I'm not crazy for modding my Fit!

You are not crazy! There is just something about the Fit that brings out the inner tuner in us all!

Congrats! that's awesome.


basically just dont put on all the ricor-crap on the car and do a modest tune tastefully. that's really the trick. unless you're going to be displaying at HIN or something do everything modestly.

And add my congratulations to the rest! Gotta ask: What have you added/modded ? I can see the Mugen visors and neck pillows in the picture, but what else?

I need to was my MR Fit. (and I need to make supper, and mow the grass, and do laundry, and wash dishes, and blech...)
