*Edit 8/27/14
Looks like the video has finally been edited and posted on YouTube. Take a couple minutes to watch how I won.



----------
Thought I should join the crew here since it seems active and we all want the same out of the GK lineup, a great car.

I'm sure some of you had heard of the honda fit challenge and the 2d 8 bit parallel parking game that was released by honda, don't know if the game still works but here's the link.

Well I won the trip & then smashed the competition winning myself a 2015 FIT. It consisted of 2 parallel parking challenges with 3 judges. I scored a total of 57/60 points, not bad for maybe 2 minutes of driving :wiggle: I haven't taken delivery of the vehicle yet because its a special order being placed through Honda & delivered to my local dealer. Once the vehicle is delivered i will of course post pics of this one and only special FIT.

Congrats!! Enjoy

CONGRATULATIONS!
Nice to hear from a winner!

Congrats! This is awesome!

Dude, that is awesome! Congrats! Sometimes it pays to play :D

LOL that's a trip!

I was playing this and wondering "who's going to win this thing".

and here you are. Congrats!

Awesome! Did they let you pick whatever Fit you wanted or were there limitations? Super exciting, congrats!!

Excellent! Congratulations!

Thanks guys/girls. I'm so happy I won this as I was needing a good daily driver. There wanting to give me an EX-L with navi in any color I want but I'm trying to persuade them into giving me a EX 6MT.

Right on! I would have asked the same thing, hope you get the MT.

Wow dude you won a free car. Just take what they offer and ride!

As that is an option I'm very picky about what I would like and there willing to work with me a little. I already asked if I could get a RHD Japanese model because obviously the lights and body panels are much better looking. I got shot down pretty fast plus I don't want a "off road" use only brand new car. The more they say yes the more I love honda. Also driving an automatic to me is the most boring thing in the world to do. Manual gearbox or nothing.

Congrats! Woo hoo! Now... can you teach me to parallel park? :)

Could someone fill me in as to what GK stands for?

Lol yeah sure I guess as I am the reigning champ :p GK is the chassis code look at your VIN and you will see GK5 near the beginning.

Wow- that is so awesome. Many congrats and hope you get your manual EX!

Another congratulations!

If you have to take the EX-L navi, you could always sell it and buy an EX 6MT! Congrats on your win. I'm super jealous I didn't get picked to play!

Congrats, see if a dealer will trade the exl, navi, for a 6sp man.

I'd really rather not hassle with trying to find one in stock and then the hassle of trading. Plus special order just for me sounds much better if there willing to do it.

Congratulations

Congratz man. Wow this is Awesome!!

100% with you I sold a 2011 Camry SE V6 to buy my '13 Fit. I couldn't stand the auto and only bought it bc the girlfriend refused to learn to drive stick. I decided she could learn to drive stick or buy her own damn car. She can drive stick now :)

Hope Honda gives you the manual as I can't stand driving autos either I hated my Camry despite how much faster and more comfortable it was!

You should get some "save the stick" stickers!

Congrats, OP-- too cool!

Here's hoping Honda comes through with the manual. You're right, nothing else like it. :-)

Whoa congrats!

Congrats
 

Congrats!! Glad to hear people actually win these things and its not just a bunch of marketing hype with nobody winning but Honda. Yeah, Honda still wins with marketing $$ but to hear from a true winner is nice to see.

That's exactly how I and many people feel, I always wondered if people actually won these things. So the fact that I actually won I felt telling people will prove its not a total marketing scam. I could have chosen a $5000 check but fuck that I will take a car any day, especially a Honda. I don't see honda giving me a brand new car again so I'm gonna enjoi what I earned.

So since you're getting a new Fit, can I have your S2K? :D

to win a free car playing a game is sweet nice work

Rofl, nice try. I worked too hard & paid too much to probably ever get rid of it. It's way too much fun to drive & people always compliment me on it & sometimes ask what is it. It's a future classic:vtec:

Updated the first post with the video of the competition. Hope you all enjoi. On some other news I got all my requests & will be receiving my EX 6MT with accessories. Still waiting for delivery for my WOP.

Saw the challenge video up on YouTube last night. The video host guy was beyond strange. Congrats!

:popc:i am waiting for the final tally of what this "free" fit will cost you... Sales tax, options and income tax included.

i am sure it will be much less than a new one, but i doubt it will be free.

Same here. All the accessories are being paid for by them so my costs will include CA sales tax, license and registration & then next year claiming it on my taxes. I know ill be nowhere near $20,800 (what im being awarded) so I'm ok with the associated fees. It's America nothing's free and someone gotta get paid for all the work I did to win.

one of my race buddies won the chevy revitup event. he had to pay his options over base corvette, associated sales taxes and it bumped his salary up a few tax brackets. all in all, it cost him $30k. still a great deal, but it sure wasnt free...
