Thumbs up Brand newbi from NJ

HI All
I'll now make It offical ,I picked my Silver Storm on 6/12/08 It's a sport with auto-trans. I added bumper app.,leather shifter,Tail pipe finisher,cargo cover and cargo tray.They threw in Fit mats and and I also added cargo tray.Upon arriving home from dealer I noticed the tpms light on,checked air pressure in the morning and all 4 tires had 40+ lbs press.I adjusted to 32 lbs. but light stayed on.Brought It back to dealer on 6/13 and problem was corrected.All in all not a bad dealer experence.My dealer was Key honda Rt. 36 eatontown nj,internet sales rep. Chris M.was great as was saleman Tom Wiss.There was no bargining really $17400 was just under msrp.but with gas at $3.99 gal. what can you do?I Really love the way the fit handles and the ride is good + the fit is really fun to drive.I must say I made a good buy.Looking forward to seeing my fellow jersey fit owners on the road.

Just ordered my VBP Sport Auto and will have it the first week in July.
I live in South Jersey but have to go up to Old Bridge to buy.

Look for me on the roads soon!

Ah, Hazlet...that's really funny. I'm originally from Holmdel You know the Drug Fair and Toys R Us on Rt. 35? I worked at both places a few years ago! Congrats on your smart, economical purchase! Never been to that dealer. I was on leave and test drove a Fit at Academy Honda by the Monmouth Mall :P then came back to Jax and bought one!

Hoorah air force! I hear Thailand is a nice place if you like cheap drinks and cheap...well, you know I have one year left and I'm going back home. It's not my thing, and no need to thank me, I haven't done anything for the country except spend your tax dollars on european prostitutes and alcohol. I feel terrible being a part of the military to be honest with you. I'm sure it would be a different story with my attitude if the navy played a role in this war!

Be Proud

Hi salior
Always remember where you spent the war was not your choice,But when you enlisted you were willing to go and do whatever was asked.I also lucked out with Thai duty and also felt i should have done more.But I had some heavy hitting combat types come down on me hard for feeling guilty about missing combat.You answered the call and where you served and what you did does NOT MATTER.SO BE PROUD.God bless all you guys and gals.A wise old Af Vet Jimrb66
