Ask me about my Fit

I was on a road trip today and got stopped (again) while getting lunch, and was asked about my Fit. I find it alot of fun showing it off, and telling folks about all the mods you can do to personalize it. Whether they've seen them before or not, they're always impressed with the roomy interior, gas mileage, and overall look...just thought I'd share

That is one of the fun parts - there are not a lot of Fits on the road in this area so not too many people have seen them. It makes you feel like your driving an exotic instead of a Fit - hey - to me the Fit is exotic!

yea i get them all the time also. the other day when i was leaving work, i cop said that i ran the stop sign when i know i didn't. once i showed him that i've worked there for about 2 years, he let me go with nothing. but before he left, he was like "nice car"

at my sister HS, i was parked n some kid walk up to me n was like, "y is yours so different from the one what is parked behind you." i didn't know a FIT was parked behind me. Told the kid, mine's droped with a tint n visors, her's is stock thats y mines is better.

Cool A magnet

I admit I enjoy the attention, too, after driving an old-fashioned mommy station wagon for a decade.
I also find it's a magnet. Mine is just 6 weeks old so I park as far away from anything in a parking lot that I can to try to prevent door dings and it seems like someone always parks next to me when there are lots of other spaces closer to the store!

LOL it happened to me today! A guy stopped me in a parking lot asking how many real mpg I got. I told him about 32/33 and that he should check out the forum. He kept lookin at my FiT like a thirsty man looks at a glass o water. Word!

Today I stopped at the nursing home to visit my Dad (88 years old). There were three nurses from Dad's ward in the parking lot, and all were commenting on how "cute" and "futuristic" my car was.

Usually I only get this kind of attention when I ride the Harley.
