Hey Freaks - here's a shout out to my old buds.
Been a while but I do lurk a bit now and again.
Hard to imagine but I'm now 69yrs - I was 62 when I started this thread.
My 2010 Fit is running fine @ 107,000 miles and counting and so am I. All ya need to know is to keep up on the oil and tires and don't over rev too much - HA
Keep it real K_C_

As far as going to a Fit, maybe it's a mid-life crisis in reverse (grin). I've always liked the looks of them.

You can probably figure my age from the list:
1978 Ford Pinto 4MT
1981 Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi) 4MT
1987 Chevrolet Blazer S10 4WD 4MT
1993 Honda Civic DX hatchback 4MT
2002 VW GTI 1.8T 4MT
2015 Honda Fit EX 6MT
Wife's cars or family cars:
1983 Datsun Sentra 4MT (had both Datsun and Nissan badges)
1985 Volvo 240 4MT w/OD button (only used car, purchased from family)
1999 Nissan Quest AT (van, biggest car mistake I ever made)
2008 Scion Xb AT
2010 Toyota Corolla AT
Worst of the bunch: the Quest; it had annoying quirks (heat and AC were a real problem) and the back doors rusted through before the car was 9 years old.
Most fun cars to drive: Colt and the GTI (I still dream about these cars)
Most durable: Volvo, that car just wouldn't die, wife ran it with low oil for hundreds of miles and it was so rusty at the end I was convinced the body would slide off the chassis if it had to make a panic stop

51, and picked up the 2015 LX Fit (6M) new from the dealer (with about 30 km on it) a couple of weeks ago, after our Matrix engine blew. Prior ICE* vehicles:
2006-2016 - Matrix B (5M) - used 2004 model, lasted 260K km
2001-2004 Dodge Spirit (A) 198X-ish - inherited from my Dad, I hasten to add...
2000-2001 Suzuki Samurai (5M) bought used 199X-ish
1989-2000 Nissan Micra 4-door (5M) bought new 1989, lasted 360K km
1988-1989 Nissan Sentra (5M) bought used 198X-ish
* - internal combustion engine. Too many pedal-bikes to count, OTOH.

68. Am I the oldest? Picking up the new Fit LX 6 spd in Modern Steel Metallic (Nov 29). I am hoping it will be just as fun as its stable mate, Porsche 911 Turbo 6 spd.
