Hello from Reno NV - '13 Fit Sport Navi

Hello everyone! I woulda joined the forum a long time ago but had some issues activating my account. Anywhoo, I bought my Fit last September after trading in my 2013 Ford F-150 Ecoboost, which was by far the WORST vehicle I ever owned. Problem after problem after problem. Hated it. The last straw was being faced with an $1100 repair bill and still owing $12,000 on it, I decided enough was enough. I always wanted a Fit and I found a beautiful '13 Sport Navi with only 17k on the clock. Long story short, I declined the repair on that wretched F-150, drove it a block from the Ford dealership to the Honda dealership and traded that sucker in, absolved all the money I owed, put $2k back in my pocket, and drove the Fit away Scott-free. 5 months later I find a 2000 Toyota Tacoma for $900 and it is still running strong for all my truck-related needs. It was a happy ending.

I have since racked it up to 38,000 miles with only the battery needing replacement under warranty. I use it as my daily driver to work. I also am in the business of restoring 1980's pinball and arcade games, so I use the Fit as my pinball machine hauler when I take machines to and from the Bay Area. Even made a Youtube video about it here. I look forward to seeing how long this Fit lasts me. I have always loved the Honda brand and I plan to drive the wheels of this Fit.
