My wife drove it, for the first time, today.

Got it in Aug '08.

That's 10 months!

I asked her to not push any buttons...Blitz, ScanGauge, Tri-Phase, RADIO! She DIDN'T listen.

No reason for hubby to drive my little box...He's got his own giant vehicle. I, however, can drive any of the cars as I wish.

Heh.

You know you own a Fit when you call the shop to schedule state inspection and they say "a Honda WHAT?", and then when you take it in they say "oh, so THAT'S a Honda Fit."

Demonstrate higher value by talking about how great the car is and continue with the kino escalation, vibing, and rapport building. Then take her home for the lay.

you're a Fit owner when you purposely park away from all the other cars, underneath a lamp post, and have plenty of lighting so that when you walk away and look back you sigh and smile because your car is so damn sexy

you're a Fit owner when ass-hats in faster cars/trucks/suv's will tailgate you and tailgate you and tailgate you and continue to tailgate you untill you've reached the turns at the mountain pass where you progressively lose sight of them. when they pull up to you at the light at the other end, you make this face they make this face then you make this one

Don't ever park underneath lamp posts! You'll have poop rotting through your paint when you get back!

You know you own a Fit when your hubby tells you it's almost as fast on the interstate ramp as his 305 HP Impreza STI

I speak from experience when I say the difference mid-corner is a solid 5mph, and (at least in my case) the difference could easily be explained away by tires.

Exit speed? Well...



...let's just not go there, shall we.

You know you own a Fit when . . . you can put an entire flat of tomato plants on your dash at the nursery and have ripe tomatoes by the time you get home (from the greenhouse effect of that humongous windshield)!

you know when you own a Fit when ...

- trucks or big SUVS park right next to you even in an empty parking lot.
- you get anal about lint/dust in your seats and dash after you clean it.
- it makes your day when you get atleast or more than 30+MPG.
- you hold onto the steering wheel with your dear life coasting 80+mph on the freeway
- you take the longer route to work/home/school where there is more corners and less straightaways.
- it makes you happy when you pass or overtake a toyota prius/yaris or any eco-cars.
- when someone ask you why you bought a Fit and you tell them like your an editor on consumer car reviews.

Haha, you're absolutely right! But I was really surprised that my husband likes the Fit so much - I was abroad for a few weeks lately and he kept driving the Fit (although I assume it was to save miles on the Subie...)

...when you tripod around corners, your passenger is having a heart attack and you are just having another day at the office (<3 torsion bar lol)

...you can beat a 350z to 30 then they fly by you

...you never have launching issues at the track even though you are fwd

...the only cars that beat you in your autox class are mini coopers

...you were hesitant to put springs or coilovers on your car because it would ruin your chances at winning autox events (i miss being in a stock class)

...you bring home a water heater for your friend because it won't fit in his ford explorer

...you post in this thread :-D

You know you drive a Fit when you go to the gas station and usually buy something else besides gas!
