awaiting my silver to arrive via boat/Japan...anyone know how long shipping takes? left on the 27th - for Oxnard.

Anyhoo- looking for 5spdM folks to compare mileage once i have her in hand...i drive 300miles/wk to work, one end of PHX valley to the other-really? not so bad.

My xB was totalled a week+ ago, and i miss her, terribly, you can see her decoration for my upcoming walk:
Welcome to the Arizona Breast Cancer 3-Day:

Did not want to get a similar car and very happy with my FIT Sport, choice...had hondas in the 80s/90s - starting with when the CRXs came out (red, white, blue, blk) - then moved to the practical honda civic hatch, dx. Moved to the Rez in AZ and did the 4Wdrive for a while before owning my toaster.

So glad the FIT got sportier, didn;t like the look 3 yrs ago (actually 2006), but was SOOOOOOOO surprised at the quietness of car while test drive, waiing at light. sounded like a hybrid (nada!).

hope to keep in touch- stuck with rentals for the next week+ - arrival in Oxnard, truck to Winslow (yes,EAGLES song fame), AZ then down to the Valley. and then, ALL MINE!

let me know how the '10s are doing, or the 5spd '09s - curious to see how my mileage will be. I was combined 32 on the xB, weekly- about 360mpg/tank.

looking forward to hearing from ya~
