I'm back!!!! Truth be told, I guess I never left, just never really posted much :-) . I just bought a new to me 2013 raspberry blue Fit Sport which comes in at #5 for me. My first Fit was in 2007 when I purchased a new Blaze Orange Sport. 3 year later i traded for a 2011 Silver Sport but I wasn't done yet. I sold that one and went back to the dealership to obtain a new 2012 Nighthawk black in, you guessed it, sport trim, lol. This was immediately followed a year later by a plum 2013 Fit Sport. Now knowing that the new fits didn't have that edginess/aggressiveness to them as the 2007-2013 had I held on to this puppy for 3 years. I would occasionally run through websites and see what dealerships had in stock. Last Friday I came upon an ad for this 2013 Raspberry Fit Sport in manual (I've only owned one automatic in my life...a Mazda 929 from 1990)...amd to top it off, it had only 12,800 miles on it. After haggling for a little bit, I drove home in my first used car.

I absolutely love fits. Love the interior room they provide. Love how they drive. Love the minimalistic nature of the options offered. Love the visibility when looking around at traffic. Love the gas mileage (I can approach 40mpg without trying very hard). Love their overall compact size. Love the reliability. What can I say, I'm addicted to these things. I of course have other niche cars, but this is my daily driver

Thanks for tuning in folks!

Another stick driver Let us see it!!

 

Actually, I guess it's the second used car I've ever purchased, lol.



Love this picture from the work parking lot. A little raspberry blue in a sea if solver and black, lol.

 

Wow, looks new, great find!

 

Yeah, I think I just got lucky. Basically brand new condition. Tiny scratch by the drivers side door handle and that's about it. I don't particularly like the new Honda fits so I was relieved to find this beauty. Now I don't have to worry about it for a few more years.
