New Owner from NC

Just took delivery of my 2013 Honda Fit base with a manual yesterday! It's been less than 24 hours but I'm positive I picked a great car. I am also looking forward to learning more from this forum and contributing where possible.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum post up some pictures when you get a chance. Triangle, research or actual triangle NC?

How exactly can I get an image into a post? I read the FAQ explanation but I don't have the 'manage attachments' button they say to use. And the images are on my computer, not on a website.

Thanks for any help!

they've disabled attachments. you might be able to use the album feature and link to it, but typically people post them to their own online albums using picasa, flicker etc. then link to them using the image url (there's a button for images above the edit box that opens a window in which to paste it).

I may be looking at Chapel Hill to move but up in the air with Charlotte and even Dallas.

Hah, that explains it. I'll get an image account setup and get pics up later.

Chapel Hill is nice (born and raised there). If you want more of a city, Raleigh is a better choice. I live north of Chapel Hill and find it to be an ideal location given it's proximity to CH/Durham/Raleigh yet lower cost of living. And I am more of a country person.

no dice bubba.

you can't image link to a webpage (.html).

go back to your pictures, look above the picture on the page, you should see an icon that looks like a couple of chain links, click on that, then click on "direct" (it will copy it to clipboard), then you can edit your pictures, and put that in the IMG tags.

like this: (using your pic)

Yeah, I thought there was something up with how it turned out. Thanks for the advice. I'll fix them later tonight.

Pics are now visible! And here are a couple more...

Cheap vinyl mat - while not a precision fit, it will do the trick.

Going from a truck to the Fit, I was worried about how I'd handle trips to the dump. I was pleasantly surprised to see the trash bin easily fits upright in the hatch!

Likewise! It was down to VBP or Black. My last vehicle was black so I decided to switch it up. And MT is the only way to go
