What a pair. Hey the Dodge was about same price that I paid for the Fit. No way I could afford an Odyssey and besides it is hard to spell.

I am making ramps for the Fit so it can winter in the back of the Caravan.

Taffy got a door seal replaced today. A few weeks ago had a few drop of water on rear floor mat. Happened a couple of times. I will find out in Spring if it works. It is well below freezing here now.

She got a wash today and made it home without too much slop getting on her.

I think heated seats are in order. Froze my 'roids this morning on the Clazzios.

Don't get that thing to clean or you'll never find it in the snow..... It's a sunny 70 degrees outside right now but the wind has been blowing like crazy.... I got my wife a mini bike for her 60th birthday.... I'm going to take out a big life insurance policy on her and put a nitrous oxide kit on the mini bike.

I just hope other cars see me. I drive with headlights on during the day. I know I know they will burn out sooner like some are so worried here - LMAO.

Anyhow did she really want a bike? What kind etc? I hope you put training wheels on it. You doing cremation?

I haven't checked this site in a while; your car is looking great (as always).
I love white cars with chrome; looks awesome!
And I like the new minivan! He looks good too. I think if my dad buys a new minivan, that he will buy a new Caravan. They have some great deals on them brand new

Thank you. I have not seen another Fit with the chrome.

I like the van. Ride is so nice. Seats are comfortable. If it just had the Fit's gas mileage.

It looks great. I am adding chrome to my Versa too ... (Chrome front grille and door handles so far). I like it; doesn't appeal to all, but I think it looks good.

How is the gas mileage on this minivan? How many kms do you get for a tank, how many litres does it hold, and whats the average cost to fill up? My parents minivan is a 97, and I keep telling my dad that I'm pretty sure he'd save money at the pump by buying a new Caravan. They do look nice and comfy inside, and are pretty appealing on the exterior too !

I can't answer your questions on the van. My wife drives it and fills it up so I get a free ride - oh wait I had to write the cheque for it. I would have to go get manual to see how much it holds. A lot more than the Fit.

I like the look on outside. Inside is nice. Seats are great. A new standard motor for 2011 which I suspect will have even better mileage.

I called my dealer. Well actually my Service Rep. He has a mod Camero so kinda understands the need to mod my Fit.

We agreed the 16th would be a good day and he is ordering the parts. They are scheduling one/day.

My dad ended up picking up a 2010 GC SE+ for a pretty sweat deal.
Blackberry pearl in colour, full stow n go, power options, and 17" rims I have to say, for a minivan, I don't mind driving it !

#$&*()#$%^&*( she said

Taffy just took a stone to the windshield. A very tiny chip low down on passenger side.

Chips aren't as bad as cracks, they grow... I took a chip in the same place last fall, noise was so loud I thought the windscreen was going to break. Other than that and a bit of curb rash in the front bumper my FIT remains clean - now that I've said that watch!

Hey Chuck.

They did a super job. Cannot see the repair.

You got kerb rash? Easy to touch up you know. A little sandpaper and a spray.

I think I might have ;-) New looks around this place. I've been busy with other things and come back to see new bars and numbers and all sorts of tracking stuff. Gremlins been at it building a tread mill??

Bill, I'm thinking one of those CF lips might be in order to cover the rash. That is as soon as I can put the cost aside... marrying off a daughter sets one back a bit_

I say, show em off proudly!!!

They're a sign of character... right?

At least, that's what I'm telling myself with the scrapes and gouges in my front "lip."

Oh, I plan on having plenty more by the end of August. >.>

I've been looking for an excuse to get one - if I'm old enough to have a FIT I'm not too old for a touch of carbon fiber and I'm enough of a character to run one.

If they were 'road worthy' I would be proud, but there only slight and, again, an excuse.

Taffy is two years old. I bought her on July 4 picked her up on the eighth.

Expenses are a killer - Just last week an $79 repair bill to repair stone chip. Last year a can of Taffy white to spray a scrape on front lip. That is it. Well bought a set of steelies and snow tires.

The other $2800 was for incidentals eg Clazzios, HKS, Swifts etc.
