Went on another fun run before heading to school but this time with a friend and her chihuahua (he was whining and likes riding in cars) riding shot gun. The dog ducked under the dash from the wind buffeting, wondering when this roller coaster ride would end and my friend was clutching the "oh sh*t" handle (and dog at some point). Like usual, the run was a blast but seeing the reactions of both occupants just made it much more worth while.

Later that day, I inspected the tires, fender liners, and bumper to check for any signs of rubbing (I run 205/55R15s on 15x6.5 ET+40 w/ stock springs, ground clearance FTW). The rear bumper is now showing tale-tale signs of the tires barely nipping the inner lip and bumper mounting tabs. Need to file that down some one day on a weekend.

07 FS BOM finally washed it today, think it's been a few months since last one. Removed old fastfood my son left in the back. Wondering why there are only old ladies driving all the other Fits around town.

Restrictive Laws!!!!

Welcome to da club!!! Hawaii has some of the strictest recon laws...on this planet I think!!!

It practically takes an act of Congress ( with any mods ) just to get a safety inspection passed on your ride here.

Hey now don't you think Fits are cute.... My son told me that he saw nothing but old long haired bearded guys like me driving Fits when he was in Seattle
and there that were quite a few of them.
