When you realize the true advantage of coil-overs is being able to go higher in the winter so the paint doesn't get sand-blasted off your front bumper.
The joy of having the "mine gets -- MPG vs yours gets-- MPG" conversation with a guy driving a Smart Fortwo Pure. (absolutely true story)

you whine after overestimating how much fuel is needed for a full tank.

when you snicker at the amount of fuel and its price when passing previously used fuel pumps. (especially after a truck or SUV fills)

when a metal license plate frame with a smoked shield costs more than a fill up.

Fit this in it

When your car has more personality than you do.

When people in rice burners pull next to you and laugh

when you HAVE to go to the dealership for windshield wipers or an air filter

when the parts counter guy at (insert name of auto parts store) says a Honda what

when rain pours in on your leg and arm as you unroll the window to order at the drive through (where is that reservoir anyway)

last one
when you go to a car show and people in the parking lot are looking at your stock Fit Sport

Meeooww

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet...when you park your Fit in a regular car sized space and there is still room in the spot for another car.

Or you can't find your Fit in a parking lot because a huge ass SUV parked right next to it.I've had that happen to me a few times.I almost panicked once.LOL.

Last,people get faked out because they think it's an empty spot when it's not.

Haha, I dunno about fitting 2 Fits in 1 parking space. I'd love to see that. I can never find my Fit in a parking lot.... too short it hides behind everything.

Only if you have less than 9200 mile's, with no dents and scratches, and dont owe the bank money. What color is your's?

.....When your GF laughs at your car until she realize's you only put gas in it every two week's
..... When you spend more money a month on cigs than you do on gas.
.....when you have a car for two year's and havent had to replace your tires or brakes.
..... When your economy cars handle's way better than it performs.
.....When your car is bone stock and is faster in a closed cicuit race than it is on the street.
..... When you talk to stranger's on the internet more than you do you family and friends

44k miles, had scratch and dents when I bought it (hence my nick), and I own it outright (paid cash, baby). It's black.

I do want a black one but the mileage isnt alot, but way more than mine. I have no dents. Got a small scratch or to around the driver key hole but thats it. Doesnt seem like a good trade. Now if you could get ahold of a 06 STI, or 05 BAJA turbo with less than 50000 with a manual trans in any color but red then we got a deal.

Would you consider with a trade with some cash?

EDIT: I would be putting it back to stock except for the visors, tint, mats and maybe one or two other things.

PM me so we dont jack up this thread. How much cash plus a trade? cause it might seem like a good idea now but later I dont want to regret it. Plus I need to go look and see when how many miles before the warrenty on fits expire's before I decide. Cause haveing a warrenty is why I really bought a new car. I would really rather have another fit same condition and same milage as mine. In white, black, blackberry pear, or tidewater blue

Yup. I'm super paraniod that my car looks too aggresive/rebellious for my neighbors and co-workers. Honestly, all the other cars just suck.

Forunately, only fit owners think it!

...... when you pull up to a parking spot but you stop early because your bumper might hit the curb. then when you get out, you have about a feet before you even get close it.

...... when you feel like you're getting tailgated all the time.

...... when your passengers are surprised at how roomy it is in the Fit.


Speaking of room....... I had a total of 5 people (including me) riding in my car. Me (210lbs), Terrance (280lbs), Chris (200lbs), Alex (190lbs), and Gio (120lbs). We all fit in there, I couldn't believe it! What's the Fit's max cargo capacity?

With all of you on board, you went over by 150 lb.

Betting that the Scangauge is only kidding when it says 2.1 miles to empty
Knowing that the Scangauge is kidding when it says 129 crank horsepower
Hi, grtpumpkin (and everybody else!). Where did you mount the Scanguage? I've been thinking of getting one, but can't decide where to mount it...

TIA,
