Saw another on the road tonight.

I just saw another on the road, after three full days with my Fit. If the person in the blue one on Rte. 110 in Dracut, MA is on this board, I was in the black Sport headed East.


Lovin' my sweet little ride.

I passed a red one on my way home tonight. He was pointing and waving with his passenger as I passed...didn't have time to wave back (sorry, dude).

I wonder if we will be like Beetle owners and still wave at each other years from now, or more like Prius owners, who rarely acknowledge each others' existence...

Maybe they're being held hostage by evil garages in L.A.

I got mine this Thursday (27th) and I haven't seen any others on the road. I keep thinking something's wrong because no one else is acknowledging the car either (not that I want them too, but a little bit of props would be nice). I'd like to see other Fit owners around so we can honk to each other but alas it has not been the case. I'm kinda sad about it. Any of you other Bay Area owners cruise the East Bay ever? I'm lonely!

I've seen no others in Houston or Austin or inbetween yet. Big cities though with zillions of SUVs and trucks...I think it will be a while before I spot a fellow Fit driver.

The number of hatchbacks on the road is definitely increasing though. If only I had my camera at the time...I parked in a row of five little hatchbacks. Mazda3, Matrix, and two Scion xAs.

I know, right?

I've only seen a Blue Sport once. They were a couple lanes away, and turning right, so I couldn't wave at them or anything. I was freaking out in my car to my friend though, "OMG! A Fit! A blue Sport! Ahh!"

I saw a red one on the road the day I picked mine up, I was driving north he was south on 101 I bet he had just got his that same day. I saw a blue one today in SLO and a Miata driver gave me a thumbs up and said nice fit, pretty cool of him.

Kind of neat isn't it? I bet we won't the only ones for long though. I have been getting a lot of looks from other Honda drivers. A family in an Element behind me yesterday was looking and pointing at my car.

I've only seen two others. One was on a test drive and the other was bought. Sure is small looking when you see someone else driving one.

Seemed like no one even knew what it was -- until Saturday. At an ATM a guy asked me about highway driving -- road noise, gas mileage. He has a big sedan and the gas prices are already killing him. He asked a lot of questions and thanked me for my time. I was surprised he knew about the Fit -- told him I seemed to be the only person on the road with one. He said "Not for long!" A lady stopped me in a parking lot as she said into a cell phone -- "This lady just drove in with a Honda Fit." Then she talked with me and her husband (on the phone) about the Fit. First question: what's your gas mileage? A young guy hauled a large box from a store to my car, and realized right away what it was. He's thinking of replacing his Civic with a Fit. He was interested in the Magic Seats. Those of us who were first out of the sales lot should have gotten a commission, not MSRP!

you should all feel very lucky and hope it always stays like this, I drive a EG Civic Hatchback, Black with Gunmetal BuddyClub SF's, all of my mods are JDM stuff and very subtle, but every POS car with stickers and an exhaust feel the need to rev their engine at me. I don't wish that on anyone.

but if it ever happens just learn to completely ignore their existence, they will ignore you eventually, but every once in a while you will see a nice car worth looking at,

if I see a Fit i will make sure to honk and wave, and laugh at your 4 doors :P haha, and your extra 100-200 lbs of curb weight! ahaha!
