So far, only one other Fit driver has waved back at me. Most seem to just look at me, thinking "Do I know that lady???" Well, I'll just keep on waving and hoping to get a community going here on the west side...



Right now, my baby needs a bath and the weather is right for a claying, so....goodbye dirt from Hurricane Ike!!!

I think the hurricane screwed up my disc brakes...should take it in to the raper, I mean dealer. Anyway usually the ones that ride my ass are trucks and SUVs. It's quite annoying.

Mine were grinding last night...Hadn't driven the car in 3 days, and the hurricane drove rain into it (we have a carport but no enclosed garage). I drove it and they quieted down, but I'd take it to the dealer and have it looked at if I were you.

You've been a very naughty boy (or girl). Shame on you! You'll be lucky if we don't come over there and take your Jazz right away from you and give her to a kinder home! [slap] I've got a nephew who will be starting his driver training this year and I'm sure HE'D be a more careful owner...

lol, i'm a guy, hence the abusive-ness
tell your nephew to look after the car! cos it really is a nice car, but since it's the first car i've been driving, i has had to suffer alot from my before newb-ness.
since i've been able to save up some money, i'm going to seriously pamper her up and make it looking brand spanking new again it was either this or get me an s13, but since i'm at uni (or as you guys call it college in us) it's been a difficult choice of keeping the car and pamper it then move out, or stay living at home till i can afford to run both an s13 and live out, but obviously i've chosen to look after the jazz

Well, then, are you going to give my nephew your abused Jazz? How long till you are out of uni? And what are you studying?

My BIL, nephew's dad, is pretty obsessive about cleaning...and he's an engineer so he'd fix up your car until it was spotless. They live in Bristol, so let me know...

I say I drive my fit SLOW. Not as slow as when I first bought it but often enough I find that A LOT of people go around me. My car is VERY clean...but the inside could use some work. I park at the VERY last parking spot at work just because I'm so anal about my car being hit with a cart.

I think the Fit is like the only car 99% of people drive like grandfolks in, even 18-25 year olds. It's crazy if you think about it. I dunno what it is about this car that makes ya want to baby it, hug it at night, kiss it, hell maybe even make love to it ;x

Good, I'm glad we shamed you into taking better care of your Fit!!! Enjoy her - these little cars are treasures.

And good luck at uni - study hard!!
