How Many Fits Have You Run Into In One Day?

I ran into four Fits.

Three Gen 3's.
Two following each other making a left turn. One I parked behind on the street to get a haircut.

One Gen 2.
I was having lunch at a local restaurant. A cute Latina sat next to me. We left around the same time. No I wasn't following her. 🤣🤣🤣 As I was driving to exit the parking lot a white Fit drove in front of me. Yup. It was the cute Latina that was sitting next to me at the restaurant.

There's one on every block here in Sacramento. It's pretty cool.

(Knocks on wood) - I've never run in to a Honda Fit, and never been run in to while driving my Fit. I hope it stays that way.

Four Fits in one day must have been pretty hard on your insurance rates. On the plus side, you likely got the pretty ladies phone number after you ran in to her, so maybe a win?

What I meant was how many Honda Fits I've seen in one day.

I usually see about 5-6 Gen 3's on any given day, mostly driven by white-haired females over the age of 60.
Most are some variation of grey/black/white with the odd orange/blue.
When I get a chance to peek inside, it's equipped with a CVT 95% of the time.

If I counted the number of Fits in general (Gen 1,2 and 3) I'd see in a day, that's easily over 15 or so.
In densly populated areas, these cars are extremly popular with all age groups.

My 2015 EX is a stick.

LOL Yeah mine's silver..... And the previous owner was 77 when she sold it or had a family member take her keys away (I'll probably never know which).

I do see a lot of other Fits around. Dupage County IL. They are a respite from the endless sea of SUVs out there.

I saw like 3 GE8s today. A black one like mine with red Honda emblems and a nice window tint which I've been looking into doing, a blue one with white wheels, I liked that too and a silver one that was all stock.

I also have this challenge. IE how to avoid other cars, which don't look to be FIT.

Agreed, they are very relaxing to see & easy to avoid. I hate driving anywhere near to High Street Tractors

I work at a Honda dealership, so at least a dozen on a slow day. Even outside of that, they're very common here in the DC area.

I haven't counted, but quite a few daily. At one point we had three in my condo parking lot.

I'm retired, so I fill my time with arcane things like this. I'm running an average of six/day over the last week. I live in (well, next to) Clearwater Florida. Yesterday was eight by noon.

Live in Phoenix, AZ. Don't see as many as I used to, especially Gen 1. My 2013 is a stick.

I love this one posted on Jalopnik a while back...discussing people driving value cars that can afford more.

It’s great to run into someone on another board. It is very French to own a car or house that is modest while you have millions in the bank.
