My main wheels have been a 2000 Pathfinder that has absorbed over 25k mi per year after being barely driven by my father. It had 18k in June of '02, now has 123k. Our other car is an '03 Accord LX.
I'll be driving my new BOM AT Fir Sport tomorrow. Can hardly wait.
I will say that if the Civic came in a roomy hatch, I'd be driving that. I was almost drooling on the Civic 4dr with sport package that was in the showroom. The hwy mileage estimate is higher than the Fit's as well. But I am a part-time musician and need to lug bulky objects like drum kits and speakers. The civic 4dr isn't good that that. And I am trying to get out of the SUV, not into a CRV.
This will be my fourth Honda, and the ninth between my wife and I (maybe 10.. hard to count).

first car since i was 16 is my 1992 honda civic hatch and i did almost all the mods on it (i guess u can say i "riced" it out even tho it was b00sted and put out 185hp, but i had everything redone like body kit and full interior) well i still have that car and now i am 19 i have my 2007 VBP sport AT.

My other car is a 1969 Porsche 911 Targa. Currently being (slowly) restored.
This is about how she looks right now, she runs, but the interior is stripped out. I'll be stripping the interior down to bare metal, then will be doing the undercarriage, welding slightly wider rear fenders on, and repairing a few spots in the floorboards. A good coat of POR15 on each side, fresh undercoating on the bottom... bolt on rear sway bar... then I'll start stripping the exterior, priming, sanding and prepping for paint. That will probably be a year or two down the line. When the paint and interior are done, then the engine and transmission get rebuilt.

I have 2 cars right now.
My all time favorite would be my 1989 Mazda Mx6 GT. Ive had it for about 4yrs now. Shes my baby, and yes she.... Her name is Vanessa.
It looks more cleaner now. I added more black paint also.
This is my $500 1989 Ford Probe GT. Didnt look like this of course. I added coilovers/struts, new rims, (which are spray painted by me.) ran the exhaust out the side.... little things here and there.
Car is quick. I ran a 14.5@98mph with a stock clutch and the stock turbo. And I still get 26mpg and AC! Yes this car was my daily driver.
My Fit will be replacing this car. I just cleaned it out since its gone tomorrow. :(
