The weather is probably delaying it some. We got about another foot of snow in the last two days.


I talked ot the dealer today and he said Honda promised it by 1/18, but the dealer still wasn't very optimistic about that date.

Let me know how you like that shift knob. I really want a contoured shifter, but I didn;t order the Honda one. I'd like to hear the difference betwen the two.

Trust me...there will be pics right away!

Congratulations. We drove ours home the other night and it's been in the garage ever since. Too cold. We can play with it this weekend. Very smooth shifter--one of the best I've ever used. I tried to take some pictures today. The Fit looks huge in the garage next to the '90 Miata. You'll love it.
Stay warm in Indiana. We lived in Fort Wayne in the early '70s. Winter seemed to last forever there, too.
Cheers!

Nice job. Glad you are enjoying the car already. How hard was it to fit the mats?

Thanks!! Not hard at all just take your time.. I used a hobby knife to cut the carpet and you only have to install the driver's side the rest just lay in.

Here is ours. Fifteen below when I brought it home. I tried to toss it around in the snow, but the VSA kept it going straight ahead. Ordered in early October, built November 27, delivered January 13. Worth the wait.

Congratulations! That's a beauty. Hope it was worth the wait. We're looking for any excuse for a road trip now.

Now we can get answers to questions about our meds as well as questions about our cars. This forum keeps getting better and better.

I was afraid that would be the next comment. I teach in a specific area of pharmacy (PK) and I'm not very current on general pharmaceuticals. You would be much better off 'asking your local pharmacist' ;-)

I do enjoy the forum though. It has been very useful.
