isnt it funny how quickly peoples view on the fit changes once they actually take a ride in one? when i first got my car my bud who drives a mazda mx5 just sat back looked at and said it was crap. i let him drive it five minutes later and he fell in love.

he actually totaled his car 5 days ago and is having a taffy white fit delivered to him in a few weeks.

yeah man i agree with you 100%. its funny though i used to not like the Fit either thinking it would be to small and whatnot. Originally planned on getting the 07 Civics but decided to drive the fit to see how bad it really was. i was totally wrong.

Mine gets called a clown car by some of my friends. They know how small it is, but they also know about the obscene amount of stuff that will fit inside Like a dozen clowns.

I’m actually waiting for some guy in a BMW or something to say that to me so I can say something back like "dude, the difference between you and me is that unlike you, I could actually buy and easily afford your BMW yet I drive this fit... now go deliver some pizza"

That or just say something like "my 911 is in the garage"

It's also surprising since there're so many Fits now around my area (West LA).
Anybody have similar experiences?

I mean you could have said something along the lines that Ford is still only in business because Enterprise Rent-A-Car still needs cars to rent.

haha next time any douchebag driving a FORD tells you "you actually bought that" just rejoice in the fact that in 6 months his mustang will acrue more REPAIR BILLS AND COST MORE IN GAS than your fit will cost in 6 years

ps my gf just bought a ford and its going in FOR THE SECOND TIME for repairs in 2 months

Mustangs really hate it when you can tailgate them on the 90 degree corners. Also, I was doing it under 3K rpm too. He tried to loose me, tailed out and got scared. Then he took off on the straightaway. And then cops saw him and started looking for him. LOL. I was still under 3K RPM so no noise coming from my car, and it was all stocked. Also, the funny thing is, I didn't try to tail him. I was just turning naturally.

Also there was this one time where I was in the parking lot waiting for someone and an old VW Jetta revs his engine like he was cool or something. I just gave him the "You're stupid, good for you" look. I should've shouted "ENJOY GIVING OIL COMPANIES YOUR MONEY!"

Speaking of clowns. One of my friend calls the Mini a clown car.
And yes, the fit does look like a mouse. I was about to buy construction paper and draw eyes, nose, and whiskers to tape on my fit. LOL...Someone with a SSM fit needs to do it just for laughs! hahahaha

mexicans would never laugh at someone in a fit where i live.... because most of the mexicans here ride bicycles.

i guess we all have a tiny bit of poet in us. im just saying, if i ever got bored of playing grand theft auto and went on some real rampage i would just go around keying "there can only be one" into the drivers door of every yaris, versa and AVEO that i saw. it just ticks me off when people say that it looks like an aveo!!!

i wouldve beat his ass right then and there.

smartasses like that deserve a good beating. but if he's significantly bigger than you, i wouldve started the fit up, get out, slash his front tire, break his door window, and drive off.

or buy yourself a nice .45 and put it to his face and tell him you had to save your money to buy expensive guns instead. "YAH WHAT NOW B*TCH? MEET MY LITTLE FRIEND."

I don't really care if people make fun of my fit cuz like everyone is saying, who is laughing in the end with gas prices... And plus i have my other cars to show those bastards who is faster and who can afford better. As for people making fun of my fit though...i only have had 2 people point and laugh at my car. Those people included a stock RSX with knock off wheels (not a type S) and some early 20 kids in an F150, that burns gas like a mofo. As for the girls and random people down in the OC, they love my car and think it is cute/nice (they always stop and ask and stare at my mods). The only people that seem to not prefer my fit is fitfreak people .

Someones said "Thats not a very Manly car." My only response was "Well, lucky for me then. I dont need my car to prove how manly I am."

Fits are cute (no homo) All the girls I know love my car, theyre all asian though. I dont know if that has anything to do with it? =). People seem to like fits around my area (Walnut, Rowland Heights, West Covina...)

I had just washed my MR Fit -- it was spotless, very handsome, and I went over to a friend's house for supper. A friend of his (an older guy who is kind of obnoxious) was parking his Toyota Forerunner at the same time. He looked at my car and said sarcastically, "Oh, you got one of those GREEN cars." I replied, "Last time I looked, it was red." Then he said, "What, I suppose it runs on natural gas," and I said, "Yeah, farts, can I hook you up to it?"

That seems to be the reply I get all time..."is that one of them there hybrids?" or as I overheard one day getting into my car..."got to be one of those electric jobs, how did this person get one there not even out yet"...
Nope just a really excellent gas sipper...

It's all penis envy, you know.

They're just jealous because their (generic coupe/sporty car) can't drive those girls around for 300+ miles before filling up.

They're just envious of the backseat possibilities a la "dirty mode".

Which gets me thinking: Do we have any babies that are results of "dirty mode" ?
