This Fit will be my 23rd car (i'm 34). It is replacing a 91 Caddy Coupe beater w/ 70k miles. But it is really replacing my 01 MB E320 4-matic wagon 88k miles(my current daily driver). The Fit will be the daily..and now the benz will be the beater or winter car.

Okay my first car was a 1992 Nissan Stanza, in which it wasa really good car, but I didn't take very good care of it, plus I let my gf run the heck out of it too.

Then my next car was a lowrider Nissan truck. The last owner didn't take very good care it, but I I had great times with that until I let the transmission break down.

After that, I went with a Nissan 200sx. It was a good car until people started ramming into me. I just felt embarrassed after that.

Then I went with 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT. Well it had it's ups & downs. The ups are: It was powerful, & I thought it was beautiful too.
The downs (& there are plenty): It was bad on fuel ( had to put premium since it was turbo.) 3 years after I owned it, I had to take it to the shop every month for something. The road handling was crappy & it was automatic. I just couldn't trust it anymore than what I can throw.

& then there's my Fit. So far the only trouble I had was the AC switch, but I love the car even though I still owe. After I get done with paying it off I will modify it. It's my first stick shift, & I don't think I will ever go back to manual. Plus I'm keeping it

This was my baby for a while. One of the first toasters in Chicago done up. Had to get rid of it once it became to mainstream. Plus I had my eye on the Fit way before it was available out here. So in early 06 my dealer got a demo Fit and I forced them to sell it to me.

An 06 Pt Cruiser. Literally, the week the warranty expired, the electrics started going haywire. Pluss only 22 mpg was an irritant.

Before getting my Fit, I use to drive a '96 Civic Cpe...still have it, but I'm selling it to a friend soon.
So now i have a '08 Fit. I like it. Wasn't what I was looking to get but im pleased haha. I plan to do a few mods to the car since its sitting stock rite now...eventually lol.

New to site as well... Well I've had a 2004 SVT focus with a Stage 2 JacksonRacing Supercharger for the last 3 years, My girlfriend (live together) and I were looking to replace her gas guzzling 2000 323i and her choices were: Toyota yaris and Honda fit. Being around my Honda brothers I opted for the Fit Sport and we picked it up for 12K with 50k miles about 2 weeks ago. .... We're not gonna do anything to the fit as she knows but i plan on doing some sort of ECU reflash or tuning and simple mods to keep it quiet.. anyway here are the pix of my SVT and Our Fit.

I'm 30+ cars deep at age 28. Lots and lots of Volkswagens, mostly mk1's and mk2's, but with a couple mk3's, a mk4, and a supercharged VR6 Corrado in there as well. Had a 2004 Scion xB for 3+ years, a 1991 GMC Dually short bus, lots of other good stuff.

My latest drivers have been a 1993 Miata, which I still have, and a 1996 Cherokee, which I C4C'd for the Fit.

A bunch of random pictures from various cars throughout the years.

As funny as it sounds, that was my least favorite car of all that I posted.

I gave up cargo room.. to get cargo room..

I was last driving a Ford Aerostar... turned it in for C4C.. on a Base 09 a/t.
and before that station wagons..

I only wish the Airwave was available in the US.

This is my first New car... as opposed to a new-to-me car.
