My name is Mike. Just picked up a 2011 Sport 5 speed in orange revolution yesterday after trading in my 2007 Nissan Xterra. Was getting between 12-16 MPG with the truck and with gas hitting about $5.03 per gallon it was time to find something a little more fuel efficient. Test drove a bunch of smaller cars and decided on the Fit.

No pics of the Fit yet since it rained pretty heavily all day yesterday but it will mainly stay stock since its a lease and a daily driver so most pics will be of the Fit on roadtrip adventures. Also have a modded 2003 EP3 and going to be looking for a 2007+ CBR600RR later this summer for my toys.

Here is a pick of my trade in

Was supposed to rain again today but ended up being dry and sunny so I took some pics after cleaning it up a little.

Thanks for the welcome. Took the car on a short road trip yesterday and had to fuel up and got 34 MPG. Pretty decent considering i was getting about 14.

That would be my 03 EP3. This was taken after I had installed the RSX Type S 5 lug conversion with aftermarket pads, rotors and SS brake lines. Stuff missing from the pic would be the Buddy Club RSD's, 30th Recaros and 17 Work Emotion KR Kai in bronze and other stuff as well.

The EP3 to me was the predecessor in the extior configuration to the Fit. And the RSX front end looks like the Fit's styling. IDK mayb it's just me.
Nice hot rodd'r you have anyway.
