Umm my Fit decided it wanted to keep the starter engaged and got hungry and ate it. Then before I noticed that my belt snapped off.

So its at the shop getting a belt, starter and windshield. Mines been cracked for 2 weeks now so its going to be fixed.

My GF managed to kiss a pole with her car and it waslove at ffirst sight.
So 3 cars down in a week, im on a roll.

Truck got smacked after leaving the tuner. Whoo hoo, truck will be a few days and so will her car, and the Fit should be done Wednesday.

Borrowing a friends BMW while hes out of town.

And I went to the ER today unrelated to anything mentioned above.

Whoo hoo, FML.

I've got a Fit related update, but it's not a good one. What did I do to my GD today? Cut half a ton of branches off of her and put her on a tow truck.

They should be able to buff it out.

Serious that sucks. Is it repairable?

That is what my front yard and about 18 acres of land looks like.. While it's in the shop you might want to have one of these installed http://www.ebay.com/itm/221248766051?_trksid=m570.p2050601.l4763&_trkparms=ga1m%3DT16%26ga2m%3DT3%26ga3m%3DT0%26ga4m%3DT0

Not if he goes the convertible route. Lots of headroom. That's nice though.

No they weren't. I could barely walk without being in a massive amount of pain and nothing over the counter was working. But Vicodin is taking care of any pain my body hasn't had yet.

I know right, oh well. The Fit is back from the shop, the truck will be done tomorrow. Her car should be done by next weekish. Question is which one do I want her to drive, 500hp truck or 100hp Fit.

She wrecked her Chevy Cruze, so I think the Fit will be hers until the Cruze is back. She's never like the power of the truck, even from the passenger seat. So she wouldn't take the truck.

Hey guys, it has been a while but I'm still here! Just been insanely absorbed into other items. Now that the 1G is more or less wrapped up for the year I may be around more often.

A roof scoop would be funny, but I'd hate to ruin the brand new roof they are throwing on! (~$800 for panel plus 10-20hrs)

My yard looks like a warzone.

purchased some 15" enkei RP02's last weekend for a very good price, second hand but in tidy condition. Got the tyres from my fit sport alloys swapped over on to them yesterday and got them fitted up to the car. Photos to come this weekend

Those Recaros look dirty in the Fit.

Tomorrow I will be going to Home Depot. Buying garage door weather stripping and doing a good old JDM Front lip. Haha. I will post pics when finished. Might even post a DIY. $13 can't go wrong. And you know it won't scrape or chip haha. True question will be if it looks too cheap. Going by pics on this board, it doesn't. But we will have to see in person. Wish me luck.

Just finished. Here is a pic of it in the garage at night.

Nice job on the head lights. They sparkle bro. HAHA.

Woke up this morning. Did a lakeshore cruise. Super windy out today. Glad to see my weather stripping JDM front lip still holding up. Here is a better picture from this morning in actual daylight. I'm real impressed with the look. All the salt and snow that's going to be on the road in Ontario in a month or two, this will hold up nicely in the winter. Especially the way I drive in the winter, banging snowbanks while drifting haha. I don't see why we all don't do it.

Beats a $100 lip. And won't crack in the winter. If it does oh well lol.

Got my Fit from the shop yesterday, and now, bitch of it is. It's going back.

The starter is still acting up, it was fine when I picked it up. It'll go back tomorrow. I bought my Christmas present for myself already. Winter project coming.
