Only problem is Texans don't drive that slow, except on the construction zones, where they must creep along at 65.

Add Phoenix, and I bought it already: EX-L trim

Right Honda in Scottsdale got exactly one EX-L, and I just drove off with it.

CONGRATS! You must be thrilled!

Those heated leather seats will perfect in the Phoenix summer.

EDIT. Not sure about photo hosting. I just grabbed a free account on Photobucket. Pretty quick and easy (2 very important criteria for me...)

Lol Brian I have that dilemma but I'm looking into an ex-l trim despite being here in socal. I really want those integrated side mirror turn signals. And the fact the leather on the Fit actually looks nice compared to some Hyundai's and kias.

You can also try imgur. Its relatively painless to sign up for.

It is officially called "Modern Steel Metallic." My work friends and I have redubbed it "Gunmetal Awesome." I have a call into Honda's marketing department so that they can change the color name, but apparently they're too busy making up for all of their launch delay issues to take my call.

Brianflys, I know it sounds crazy but I will use those heated seats in the winter. After you've lived out here for awhile, even temperatures in the 60s get you cold. I know, you guys who just suffered through last winter are screaming "cry me a river," right?

It is. Haven't hit the highway yet. Also haven't tried working the paddle shifters. It definitely has a pretty noisy rev, but you know what? It's a Fit, not a luxury car.

Congrats to them and i am sure by this time tomorrow there will be several more owners! For those of us still waiting we live vicariously through you guys. Lol

Brianflys, I know it sounds crazy but I will use those heated seats in the winter. After you've lived out here for awhile, even temperatures in the 60s get you cold. I know, you guys who just suffered through last winter are screaming "cry me a river," right?[/QUOTE]

HA! This is soooo true! For all you non-Phoenix folks, we have "Jacket Day". We do this around August, when it's 125 +- . Everyone gets out a jacket and puts it on for 30 seconds, as a rememberance of when we used to wear jackets. (Almost everyone in AZ is "from somewhere else")

Ok, actually it can get cold in the few months of winter we have, like high 20's at night. Broke the copper tubing on the A/C unit this year on my roof. argh But, no problem, winter is over quick and back we go to The Oven. Ah yes......

I'll try. I might be going to get it alone, and I'm a bit wary of phones while driving.

However, my car comes in tomorrow, so I'm going to try to get out of work on Thursday night to go get it! Fingers crossed!! If not, I have to get it Saturday.
