Last year was much hotter and dry too... Hot and dry isn't bad... It's always humid here but not anything like Houston or in the jungles of Vietnam...

PS. To get the topic back on track. I drove out to Weatherford. Also got some estimates on door window visors. Today (it's 1am :P), I'll be working til about 6pm, then come home and give the car a bath.

Are you talking about Cupcake Meet? Im just going to assume so and send you the details haha.

Which DRLs did you get? Where are you going to mount them? I think if done right, they look pretty cool. Not a huge fan of the blue/white J's ones though. Philips makes a nice set that is supposedly oem quality. Looking forward to seeing how it goes, then copying you.

I did, however, find a 10W CREE LED that I can fit into my fog light position.

I might go base bumper too. Fog light elimination and, so I wouldn't feel guilty about hacking up my sport bumper for R&D to fit intercooler pipings.

I LOVE the look of the base + JDP lip. I also get tired of broken fog light lenses... two so far. This eliminates that problem. And... weight savings? haha.

Too old (and married) to beat that last one(!), but . . .

Drove a Fit (mine!) for the first time today. No test drive, and Wife drove away from the dealer cuz she hates my truck.

Nice . . . Very Nice. As expected, love the manual; smooth shifting.

Whoops, my post was unclear

EvilOnE,

I still have the truck. Wife and I drove in it to dealer to get my fit. She really dislikes truck, and was having to drop by work with parking garage after we got my new car; thus, she was the first to drive the Fit.

A crappy truck is necessity of life that Fit can't replace (25 acres . . .)

Looking forward to learning this car!
