2nd day and already noticed

ok so today is the second day I've owned my fit, and tonight after parking it in the Kroger's parking lot to get some groceries, I got out and a guy parked next to me, got out and said, "hey man I really like that car." Less than 100 miles and a stranger compliments me on it. Wonder what the babes are gunna say jk lol... no really

Unfortunately, many non-car people (a demographic which includes MOST females) don't know a Fit from a Suzuki Aerio.

The good news is that the car IS cute. The bad news (for the guys) is that it will be mostly guys who will take notice that it's kinda hot, too, and will know a Fit from other subhatches.

This should work for the female Fit owners, though, since they will get looks, comments AND cool points from the guys.

I just get lots of "Cute Car" comments. Have had one guy say that its looks bad (as in bad the good way ) with the Bronze FN01R-C on it though.

Leaving the movie theatre Friday night I randomly stumbled upon a VBP Sport and MR Sport. Was kinda cool having 3 Sports all together on the same stretch of road by coincidence no less. Gotta find those two and have em join. The VBP was at the same theatre I was but the wife wouldn't get out and take a picture cause she felt weird. lol

I've gotten quite a few compliments.

Strangest one was from my boss who said "It looks like something from BACK TO THE FUTURE, the one where they go forward. A space age car!"

i picked up 3 chicks in my car(strangers) on 4th of july without seats(race legal was that week). heh they ended up sitting on the bare metal but Hey it was "cute" enough to get them in my car.

i get a lot of guys saying my cars look sick. i really think its funny when i get some old people that come up to me. and i really think they are going to bitch at my driving, but they always come up and ask" whats the gas mileage like".

i really do hate it when girls call my car "cute". it takes the ego away from you, because your looking to get at the "sporty" them eh?

First week I had my car I was out on the street waiting for a parking space and some guy comes over asking about the car and wanted to check out the sound system

Never seen reactions like that with other cars that I've driven.

I get a lot of stares with my car. Anytime someone finds out its MY car they always follow up with "The one with all the wheels?" Yes, thats me. Hahaha!

I still love seeing people get up on their steering wheels to read my stickers and the sign hanging under my rear bumper. Ive actually had a girl say to my face that my car was ugly. I didnt really care, she was ugly too. Butterface, nice body though. I get more compliments from males though. Weird for such a cute car.

You'll have to get use to that especially here in West Virginia. Not a lot of Fits running around. I've had all kinds of interaction even on the road. I even had a guy who wanted to trade his Ridgeline truck for my Fit! LOL!What part of WV are you from pastafarian?

Cat :x

PS Are you getting any snow where you are? That has me worried it sounds like we could have 3 inches by in the morning and that will be the most I've had the Fit in.
