Fit Is Gone, Thanks to Drunk Driver :-(
The Fit is no longer. Drunk driver ran a red light and crushed the Fit. Luckily I was safe and only had bumps, bruises and muscle strain. The Fit kept me safe!!!!!!! I will have some misc stuff for sale soon as I don't think I will be getting another Fit.

Holy smokes! That is amazing, given the damage to the car, that you were able to come out of this accident relatively unscathed (bumps, bruises, and muscle soreness). The impact was so hard the plastic cup jumped on to your dash. Thank goodness you are okay.

As the others already covered, glad to hear you're safe. On the plus side, insurance money will get you something way sweeter!
GolNat ... you were one of the good ones. You'll be missed!
(I hope you randomly pop in time to time and post / chat with us)

Thank you everyone. I am very thankful that I was not seriously injured and thankful to my Fit for taking all the damage and keeping me safe!! Modern automobile design is great and Honda has always been up on safety. I will definitely stop in and see how everyone is doing. That plastic cup was in my cup holder and I had a new Monster in the passenger cup holder. The impact sent the monster straight up and then stuck it against the window as the car spun. I am pretty sure he didn't have his headlights on and there are no street lights along that stretch of road.
When the guy hit me he sent me into a 360 (speed limit on the road is 50mph). After I checked to make sure I could still feel everything I found my cell phone (still attached to the cord but under the glove compartment) and tried to get out of the car. There must have been a cop driving by or at the gas station across the street because he was there within minutes. As I was trying to get out a random person helped me get out of the car. He said he was walking by and saw the whole thing. The cop asked if I had seen the driver of the other car because he got out and ran. This random person helped me to the curb and made sure I was ok. Cop called the ambulance for me and continued to talk to the witness who he was staying really close to. The officer put the guy in the back of is patrol car and searched the Mercedes for any information. He found a cell phone! Asked the guy for his number in case he needed more information. Cop called the number and guess what phone rang? The one that was in the damaged Mercedes. The police officer called me later and told me how he caught him and that he was charged with a DUI. I said I was wondering why you were being weird with him. He had his suspicions being the time of day, area (nothing was opened) and he smelled of alcohol.
I am currently looking for a replacement vehicle and have a few on the list:
Mazdaspeed 3
VW GTI (I drove one the other day and man is that a sweet car)
Civic Si
Parts I will have for sale soon:
*Like new hood for Kenchan lol
*SS Braided brake lines for the front. I think they are silicone coated also.
*Pulse Chamber exhaust (unless I get an Si I might try it out)
*Set of HFP SS7 16" wheels with brand new tires.
*Manual, Jack, OEM tool bag

FYI, the pulse chamber appears to be discontinued .... you may be able to sell that .... at a high premium
thoughts on the 2017+ civic 1.5t hatch/wagons? It's my next choice..... if this little fit died on me

I enjoy a good laugh and humor is great medicine.

sounds good! yah, stay clear away from DSG if you're into MT. i tried it, got bored of it real quick. only reason i had the autobahn for 2yrs is because i injured my left ankle and needed time to heal. as soon as i was better, sold it and have not missed it once.

I can certainly go back to the yard and get those things. I should have grabbed the shift knob that’s an easy one lol. I guess I’m allowed to take off anything since it’s my car. I wanted to pull the navigation out but the screen cracked from the impact :-/
evilcharger - Wow never heard of that website but yes they do have stuff in that price range. I’ll take a look. I don’t a terrible amount of time to wait but I’ll keep an eye out.

Found a well loved GTI locally! 2013 with 35k miles. I’m nervous because it is not a Honda. The last time I went away from Honda it was a disaster. It is such a blast to drive though!! Was originally wanting a 4 door since I have kids but we always use the Pilot for going places together so they won’t be in it much.
