We have all sold our Fits and bought Aztek cars. The Fit thing was never going to last, get out while you can...really. My sweet new ride and I must say it looks better from the rear:
Influenced by the TV show Breaking Bad.
Joking about my Aztek ownership, it comes with a camper tent as an option.....if that helps the looks.

I'm still here... not sure where everyone else is tho... I'm still waiting on the new flash from Ben for my emanage to setup my turbo properly... getting new plans ready for the spring...
I think everyone is just sad seeing winter is on its way and we'll have to stick the winters on and get ready to hibernate for the next 6 months
Here's something I can start to see if we can't get some action in our forum...
My goals for next year for my GD3:
- Install HKS SSQV BOV
- Purchase Greddy Profec B Spec II Electronic Boost Controller
- Purchase 205/50R15 Toyo T1R Proxes Tires
- Purchase T1R Front Strut Brace, Rear Carbon Upper Brace, Rear Tower Brace, Front Sway Bar.
- Purchase Progress Rear Sway Bar
- Install Pioneer DEH-P900BT Head Unit
- Install MTX MXA-6004 Amp
- Install Infinity Perfect 6.1 Components
- Install JL Audio 10W3v3
- Install Prosport Oil Pressure Gauge
- Install AEM Wideband UEGO AFR Gauge
- Purchase OEM Rear Bumper
- Paint Install Wings West Rear Hatch Extension
- Install GReddy Oil Catch Can
- Purchase/Install HID Retrofit Headlights
- Tune the car to 9psi boost
- Purchase Cross Drilled Rotors
- Install Innovative Mounts 75A Kit
Of course I have a wishlist of things I still want, but these are my obtainable goals... should be a good winter filled with spending lots of money

I'm still here too!
Fit is getting it's winters tomorrow. New steelies with 175/65/r14 Kuhmo KW19's.
I just may pull the trigger on a new project car this weekend, I found a 1997 civic coupe dx with p/s and a/c 247k no rust for 2k so Jon and I will try and throw it on a lift tomorrow and if it all checks out I'm buying it.
Then it's on to save a bit more and prep for next season
Aside from that Jon and I just finished another swap last weekend that turned out great.
Finally THEY ARE RUNNING SECRET STREET TONIGHT AT RACECITY it has just been announced last night. I have some family in town but may try to show up around 9ish.

I totally would've gone tonight if I had known earlier... actually.. no, I couldn't.. my engine mounts are toast, last thing I want to do it drop the motor...
I ordered a set of Innovative 75A mounts on Tuesday... hopefully I'll see them soon as I need them pretty badly..

Ya.. i know.. i was torn between getting the 60A or the 75A. After talking with the guys at Innovative, it was in my best interest to go with the 75A ones. I know there's gonna be a lot more vibration, but now that we (my fiance and I) have a second car, my Fit is now my toy to play with

Always a bit of truth to any joke. It appears more truth than not in this case. I am a Habs fan anyway, but I fake cheering for the Flames. I like Iginla and a few other players but really.....Iron Mike might not see spring in Calgary. Not his fault, he never touches the puck. He is the coach for you not puck types out there.
