Talking I won the #hondafitchallenge Free FIT for me

*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.

https://hondafitchallenge.honda.com/

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 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.

2015 FIT EX White Orchid Pearl


Here's a pic of me winning the second round with straight 10's, because that's how it's done.(the green was given to me by honda to wear for style points)

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
