My wife stole my Fit!

Bought a new Sport Fit last week after my '94 Accord was struck by a delivery van while stopped at a red light. When I drove the Fit home, my wife took a real liking to it and now it's hers! Oh well. It's a great car and I still get to drive it from time-to-time. And the Element I inherited is a step-up from the old Accord, which had over 200,000 miles on it.

Has anyone else lost a Fit to a spouse?!

I wouldn't mind giving my GE8 to my girlfriend. It would give me an excuse to get an FA5.

I love the 4dr Si compared to the 2dr. The handling and clutch/shifter is amazing, and then you think to yourself this is a 4dr car!! So great.

Though I would like an ITR, I don't need one since I'm building my DC2 GS-R which is going to be an ITR killer.

Everytime my wife mentions that it's a pain to get the baby seat in and out of the Civic coupe (it's true) I cringe that the next sentence is going to be "Maybe you can leave me the Fit today..."

Actually I would be fine leaving her the Fit sometimes. If nothing else, my wife would not notice anything amiss in a car until a wheel falls off so it behooves me to drive the Civic occasionally to make sure it's actually running ok.

But I have a feeling it would quickly degrade into me taking the Civic to work every day.

Right now I think the only thing keeping me in the Fit is that my wife thinks it gets better gas mileage (in reality the Civic goes 2-3MPG better). Don't tell her

Both cars are great. But after owning a CB7 Coupe, I knew I would never go back to a coupe as a daily driver. Sedans/Hatchbacks are just so much more practical for everyday use.

It's not why I bought a manual, but it is a nice perk to having the 5-speed.

The Fit is a girl's car anyways, so it makes sense.

I think I actually got laughed at today by a woman about my age who was following me in her SSM Sport just like mine. She was trying hard to look at something, so maybe she saw the "I <3 my Fit" frame? Well, she, like every other damn Fit owner out there, needs to wash her car.

Keep it clean and have fun with it when you can.

My girlfriend drives a 6spd race edition RX-8.

Although she loves my fit, she's not down for a trade anytime soon.

lol this thread is hilarious. at least you got an element out of the trade!

i taught my girlfriend how to drive standard and she loves it. she actually got her mini cooper s in MT and she said she wouldn't mind trading once in a while. sounds good to me!
