I'm 36, been messing with my cars since my early 20's and never intended to do anything with my Fit. Originally bought it for the mpg/cost per fuel up because of my daily commute, but it starts with a system and an intake then it becomes a slippery slope lol.

whew... glad to see that i am nowhere near the oldest... a "young" 53.

too many cars to list... this 2015 Fit is car number 59 for me. maybe i'll go out and buy a $200 beater just to make it an even 60.

7 of them previous to the Fit were Hondas, and 5 of those 7 were race cars, including our current SCCA autocross STC class 89 Civic Si. but we have had another 89 Civic Si, a 97 Prelude SH, 88 CRX Si, 85 CRX Si, 87 Civic Si, and my first Honda race car, an 82 civic 1300. only the second 89 Civic Si and the Prelude were not race cars.

my first car, 1972 Datsun truck.

notable cars that i wish i still had:
67 SS 396 Chevelle
70 SS 396 Chevelle
71 Datsun 510
72 Datsun 240Z
72 Porsche 914 with a 2180 VW engine
327 chevy powered 72 Pinto
383 stroker 88 Mustang
93 Corvette with a 427 swap

the rest were mostly BoringMobile appliances to get from point A, to point B... although that 81 Toyota Starlet is the highest i have ever gotten a car off the ground.

i will say that only two of all those cars were an automatic transmission... i cant drive an automatic. last time i did so, was my sister-in-laws 92 Accord. she wanted me to drive it because she said it had a high RPM misfire. so, i took off down the road and took it up in the RPM's. then hit the clutch when it was ready to shift. two 20 foot long black skid marks in the street. ooops !

I'm 31 and a Honda convert. I originally owned a Chevy (86 Cavalier) and a Ford (98 Ranger).

Current cars:
2002 Honda Accord (backup)
2008 Honda Fit (mine)
2010 Honda CRV (wifes)

Will probably continue to buy Honda in the future.

I drove only American cars from 1979 through 1999, but after getting my first Honda in 2000, I'll probably never own anything else.

Early 50s, and my '15 Fit EX is my third Honda. First two were '89 and '90 Civic three door hatches. Been a VW guy forever, but they lost me when I bought a '13 Beetle TDi (after owning a '00 NB TDI for 13 years) and it was rapidly heading to a repeat of all the quality problems I had with the NB. Decided it was time to stick with my air-cooled VWs and try something else for my DD.

52. Purple hair and loving SpongeBob SquareCar. Kind of a techno hippie. I love my high tech gadgets, bright colors, good gas mileage, and will be putting silly Spongebob decals on all the little windows. And I'm small enough that I can easily sleep in the car in long mode in road trips.

I'm 31. :shrug:
I haven't see even one other 2015 Fit around here, but the older Fits I see are driven mostly by older people - men and women.
