Got it tinted this morning! 15% rear windshield, 35% down the sides. Dark enough to look good but not dark enough to be pulled over for it daily.

That was the reason I did not want black this time around it looks great waxed but a little rain would make it spotty. But I still kept buying black except for this time.

I am a bit curious. What do you mean by dusting? You take a swiffer sweeper to your car or what? I'm curious as I too have a CBP Fit and it's super hard to keep it clean. I clean it one day and It's dirty the very next. Partially because I have such a long commute im sure. But I usually it every week when I'm off. Probably next time around ill give her a coat of wax.

Washed it up on Saturday which it then promptly rained that evening. I also put my spoiler back to stock height.

Gave my Fit an oil change today... only, after I drained the oil, I realized that I didn't buy any new oil to pour back in!!! Had to grab the Ruck and pray that it would cooperate.

Crank the starter, sputter sputter sputter. Give it gas... die.
Crank again... sputter sputter sputter. Gas again... die.
Started to worry at that point. I mean, THREE vehicles and none able to drive (Nissan Pathfinder has dead battery from lack of use)?!? yikes!

Crank it again and again while fiddling with the throttle... eventually, it stopped dying. If I had to guess, it had something to do with fuel settling in the carb. Thinking about it, I probably should've just cranked it once and left it alone for a few minutes, probably would've cleared itself up.

Rode out to walmart and grabbed four bottles of 0w-20 since they didn't have the jug for it. Poured almost all of the four bottles in the Fit (I spilled some).

Then checked the air intake filter since my MM was B12. I forgot that I had a K&N which was touted to go longer. So, instead of swapping it with the other set (idea was to alternate while one gets cleaned and settled the excess oil out), I just rotated it around since the intake box coated one face of the filter fins.

I tried to patch the screw hole in my flat tire (from last week)... but damn, using those tools HURT... and I couldn't push the string in. It kept bunching right outside the hole. I'm pretty certain I'm doing something wrong... but, I think I'll just let a tire shop or my mechanic handle it tomorrow.

Looks very aftermarket and ricer.

I adjusted my rear drums on the Fit today. Pretty simple but there was plenty of spent pad dust to empty. Lubed the starwheel adjustment and clicker.

I like the Spoon spoiler on this car - Fit to Scrape: Michael Miyamoto’s Honda Fit | AIRSOCIETY. The color match makes it look like it belongs there.

You can just give money. Its a generic square sunroof, what's so special about it?
