Hey welcome to the Calgary thread.... sorry it seems to be pretty dead around here lately.

I got jerked around a bit by a few places here that refused to bargin, I ended up getting mine out of High River Honda so I could swing a deal. They were good to me, just ensure you specify OEM parts on the contract if you get anything extra!!

If you want to buy locally send Illusive a PM, he can hook you up with with his dealer and a good price too. I probably would have done that if I had known about this forum beforehand.

Thanks for the help.

I think the fit is such a cool car--that being said I currently own a 2006 wrx---which I LOVE as well, but it aids me in my inability to keep my speeds down and in addition I don't think there are enough environmentally responsive people out there---- So I want to do my part and the fit will help.

That is funny, I really wanted an STI but I settled with the Fit because it was a more responcible choice (both for the environment and because it would keep me out of trouble) Turns out starting this September I had to start commuting to work, so it has worked out well. It gets such good mileage!!

You made the awesome choice--wish I did the same almost a year ago when we bought the wrx. In addition the fit will hold its value better. In the last 10 months our car as depreciated like 9 grand 25%.

I decided to Bump our old Super thread

You guys should sign up for this, they want to lobby Depo to produce those fancy projector headlamps.

Woot! I took possession of my Condo today, my first day as an official homeowner! I am super excited, everything turned out really nicely. Finish is amazing; we have a solid floor to roof stone bathroom, frameless shower, big soaker tub & a full spread of Miele appliances!!

Now just have to measure up my living room for a nice big flat screen

I'm gonna sell mine, don't want to go through all the trouble of installation. It's a pretty big job.
