finally got a Fit

I've been on here since 2006. Was looking for a Fit at that time to replace my Evo, but Fits were apparently hard to come by. Ended up with a minivan instead. Now I finally got myself a 2013 Polished Metal Fit Sport MT! Fun ride overall. More body roll than I expected. Also don't like the huge vent dial above the shifter. I wish the rear had discs, mainly because I really hate working on shoes. The other car I considered was a Mazda2, but the big console where the shifter resides was a deal breaker... my leg kept rubbing on it. The Fit pedals are easier (for me) to heel toe in as well. Anyway, hi everyone.

Congrats on the new ride. I wish my wife would drive manual so we could have gotten one. Then again, she'd want to drive my S2k...

Get good tires and Koni Yellows from Redshift. They are expensive right now because they're custom made but will give you that edge if you want to be competitive.

Or wait for Konis official production release supposedly Spring 2014 I think.

Congrats on the purchase!

Sport pedals, tint, remove Fit badge. Shocks at some point. The stock tires are miserable... will replace with Falken Azenis RT615K.
