New Fit owner...

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I just picked up a 2010 Fit Sport (White) last weekend. I sold my 2005 Dogde SRT4 Neon to pick up a fit simply for the MPG, Utility vs SRT, Re-Sell and well.... just a better, but slower car lol.

I ordered a Cargo Tray and All-Season floor mats since I live in Salt Lake City, UT where it snows almost all year. Today however, I get my audio system installed and Windows Tinted tomorrow, woot.

I am also a Freelance Automotive Photographer for Tuner Magazines such as, Modified Mag, Import Tuner, SuperStreet, Honda Tuning, and Performance Auto and Sound. I actually picked up a Fit in the perfect time, I have to drive out to Colorado to shoot a K-Series S2000 in 2 weeks. You can check out my site at www.Orlandoech.com

Here are a few pics from my site; (I will take pics of my Fit soon)

Lol glad, but sad at the same time, but overall I am enjoying the fit way more than I've enjoyed the SRT. I just got a system put in and I catch myself jammin' out to Eazy-E ha lol.

Thanks! Those photos were taken with a variance of different camera's and lenses; from a Canon 40D, Canon 7D to Canon 5D II.

As of right now, I use a Nikon D700 + Nikkor 16-35 f/4 ED + Nikkor 27-70mm f/2.8 ED.

Man, that is some SERIOUS equipment! D700 is $2,500 alone!

I was thinking about getting a Nikon, how come you switched from Canon?

Thanks. I switched because Nikon offered a FF Body that suited my needs more, thats really it. After switching however, I will say I prefer the Nikon controls/ergonomics/menu's 1000x more than Canon's.

You have a transportation box car - made for exactly what you need to do with it and still have a 'cool' factor.

All well in good, but you might have been a bit more patient and waited for the FORD FIESTA

They had a demo locally for a few weeks, I didnt like it at all in person. The seats didnt fold all the way down like in the FIT. The ONLY thing I liked better about the Fiesta over the FIT was the 12/gal tank.
