Newbie says Hi

Hey Guys, Just want ot say Hi. I'm from Queens New York and will be ordering a Black FIT Sport/AT as soon as i can secure a relatively affordable parking place in my neighborhood. I've been lurking around these boards for a few weeks and have found this an awesome community that has helped me a lot in doing my research on this car. So... thanks! and see you guys around!

order your car first then the parking spot. The car seems to take about a 2-3+ months to get. The parking space will probably be available in before you can get the car....Then agian, I am in North California and so i dont know your parking situation that well.

just a thought

Well, I as calling all around looking for fits to testdrive this weekend, and I decided to try further north than I had previously considered searching. Turns out 1 dealership not only had a FIT automatic Sport in stock for a test drive, but they had the color I was looking for... BLACK! drove 2 hours north, test drove the car, bought the car, and brought the baby home!

I'm a happy FIT owner finally, it only took me 1/2 a month of searching... not too shabby.

I can't believe how quiet this car is... I can't even tell it's running unless I have the fan/AC on... amazing! I have noticed it chugging a bit on inclines... and the engine revvin up, other than that though I have no complaints yet. Parkign is still an issue. Been parking it on the street so far without too much trouble... I'm sure I'll be livid the first time it has a bumper scratch though...

Ought to have some pics soon.

So happy for you. Just picked up my FIT (Black Pearl of course) on Wednesday, MT.

Having trouble driving it (only 80 miles). Just want to keep it "new" as long as possible. Cleaning, polishing, admiring, etc.

Received first shipment of accessories: Locking gas cap; little funky but functional, Acura Aluminum shift knob (really nice and cool to the touch), Chrome exhaust finisher (okay little carried away on that one), and rubberized Cargo Tray (great addition). Also with the windows tinted that is a great compliment to the mysterious forebodingly surreal color.

Honestly, don't know why anyone would want a color other than black! They must have their reasons, but black is alluring like the sky and space and how would the planets glow without black surronds?

Enjoy!
