Hey all you fit owners out there, just wanted to share a funny story about my car. So I pulled my silver fit into a gas station after about five weeks of not having to pump gas (I don't drive my fit around much, want to keep it as clean as possible at all times ^_^), and this lady was pumping gas into her hummer. She took a glance at my fit, and then at me while I was pumping gas. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. Then she asked me this random question, "Have you ever died driving that little thing?"........And I paused some more, and replied, "I....don't think so, wouldn't be here if I did, right?" She nodded, and went into her hummer and drove away. And it pretty much left me thinking, why the heck would you ask a question like that? And no, she was not a blond, or at least she didn't look like one, lol!

 

hahaha i would have went off on that lady. you should have replied with "yes, im dead. and its all your fault for driving a vehicle that is much larger than necessary and smacking me in my forehad in a front collision. are you on a mission through iraq? do you give jungle tours in your hummer? probably not. you probably use that big heavy p.o.s for a grocery getter and a kiddie cab. dont ask me stupid questions lady". thats what i would have said.

 

Thats funny! Its like when I'm on my bike which is spotless and this old man comes up and says "have u laid that thing down yet?"

 

Do you owe her some money or something? Maybe she's trying to give you a hint...

Women who drive excessively large vehicles like hummers are a death trap waiting to happen. One day they'll be looking down at their nails and then POW! Little Johnnys dead because she ran a stop sign and splattered some poor mother's baby all over her big chrome grill. Yes, I'm stereotyping, no I don't care.

 

I suspect she lost control of the words she wanted to say. I think she may of been wanting to say.
"Have you ever worried about dieing driving that little thing!

 

i would've asked if she has killed anyone in the past?

 

lol that was totally random on her part...n ur answer clever and probably what i and everyone else's response.

 

As gas gets closer to $4.00 a gallon, you'll hear that question more and more from folks driving urban tanks looking to make themselves feel better.

Didn't Hummer recently score the worst among SUV's in collision tests?

 

 

lol... what a dumb lady... are ppl really that stoopid?

 

so I kinda feel weird now
I thought it made sense (not good sense mind you, but still....sense)

I thought it refered to you laughing at yourself for driving such a small
vehicle. (considering the context) heck I think the Fit is big...

died=laughing

though, I wonder what she would have said if you were driving in a classic
mini hahaa

like said before, once you picked your jaw off the floor
you could have said like....."meh...only like 3 or 4 times"

 

You should have told her, no, these don't roll over like those do!!

 

I bet she felt good to be driving in a GM box.

 

If she asked me that, I would have answered with this:
"No........ Have you ever killed someone in a thing like that?" (Pointing at her truck)

I bet she felt like a idiot after she drove off.

Only when you spell it like that sillytoast. Hehhe!

 

sounds to me like she wanted to make the initial attack on you, just in case you say something to her about her gas-guzzler? usually it's drivers like her that would be asked offensive automobile-related questions right? i dunno really, but i wish i was there to give her a disgusted look after she asked you that question.

 

She was just pissed off watching you fill up your tank to the brim for $30 while she did the same for $130 and probably drove less miles per tank too!

I love the stare downs when I pull to the pump last and leave first!
I need to set up cameras in my car! It is priceless!

 

Almost forgot! Talking about false sense of security in SUV's!
Our Fit is safer considering how easy some SUV's can roll over!
I would rather endure a collision than going upside down!
Then, it is just my personal preference.

 

MX6GT89... lol the "stoopid" was for emphasis of how stoopid she was lol and i probaly would have said something along the lines of have you ever killed some one with tht too lol i love how SUV drivers look down on us... even when i constantly rev high and dont even think of trying to save gas i still get 30 mpg... or about double what SUV's get lol gotta love the Fit!

 

I would've asked "Do you enjoy your $100 fillups? Because I'm enjoying my $30 fillups right now." Hehehe...I love how I can sometimes go into the gas stations when my tank is half full and say "$10 on number..." Also, another smart remark would be, "Yes I'm dying of laughter along with the oil company because the joke is on you for paying too much."

 

wow that is weird..should have asked her have you ever gotten over 30mpg in that thing ???
