Howdy from down south!

Hello all!

I just purchased my first Honda this week, and went with the 2018 fit EX. So far, I love it. I have always been a truck/ jeep kinda guy, but it was time for a practical change. My parents are hardcore loyal to Honda/ Accura so I figured why not?
I wasn't sure if there were any aftermarket mods so if you have threads you think are a must read I'd appreciate the link drop.

It was between that or the blue. Didn't have a blue that had the sunroof so decision made!
Really surprised how peppy this thing is. Handling is very tight and is just a fun drive!
First things first I need to do a privacy tint. The sun in MS is brutal.

If you are use to Jeeps and Trucks, this is going to be an adjustment.
But enjoy.

The Fit is quite a bit different machine.
But you'll be surprised at how much you CAN haul in one.

Tested that yesterday! I got my weed whacker, 10 gallon can, about 30 hanger held clothes items, three decent u-haul boxes and my emergency pack/ vivar air pump in with room to spare! Seats folded down of course but i have to say, i was impressed.
