My Fit's first long trip
 
1 Attachment(s)
This passed week my family and I took the Fit on its longest trip to date; right at about 1,000 miles and she did flawlessly. The car was carrying three adults (ok, 2 adults and a heavy 17 year old) and was packed to the roof and she still managed 39 MPG. Here's a picture of my baby preparing for the return trip and what you can't see is the car is equally packed behind the driver's seat with two coolers, a new guitar, etc..

As my co-worker said, "That's like level 99 of Tetris!" LOL

Whoa Hog! Did you guys move at all inside or was that an option? :D So how was your level? Were your headlights shooting at the stars? Nice pix. You must have been bottoming out too. Thanks for the post.

Believe it or not, I did not see any leveling issues whatsoever and I did a lot of night driving so if there was an issue, I can only presume I would have noticed. It did bottom out a couple of times on the pot hole ridden I-95 going through NY but besides that.....she didn't so much as wince and she maintained 80 mph to whole way.

Assembled gas grills fit too! Granted it was a tight fit so no need to "tie down all missile hazards" ;)
