Although I knew the Fit would have zero problems (it's a Honda) on a long road trip, my '09 Sport and I finally went on our first true road trip about a week ago. I drove from Massachusetts to Arkansas, unannounced, to wish my father a happy birthday and I captured his reaction on video.

The car was absolutely flawless and proved to be quite a highway car. I averaged between 70-80mph and got 44 MPG for the 3,000 mile (R/T) trip.





Here's the trip meter upon my arrival

On a funny note, we were expecting a storm with damaging hail at my father's so yes, I did take the best parking! Granted we could have "fit" many more cars as his shop is 75 x 50



And if you're so inclined to watch the video of my father's reaction to my surprise visit, here it is:

 

On my return, we got stuck in STOPPED traffic on 81N due to a sink hole so all we could do was get out and talk to our "neighbors".





I then found the perfect song on my Ipod. Note how it isn't a still shot and we're simply not moving! (click small pic)

 

He had a nice smile. Genuine
