I honestly have no idea.

I was going to lunch with 4 other people in my car so obviously there was a lot of weight on the suspension. Then after a turn I was going straight and out of the blue like at 25mph my car makes this mix of grinding and plastic rubbing noise. I stopped right afterwards and I didn't see, smell, or hear anything afterwards, so that's what baffled me.

After work I dropped by to see the road and there was no major bump so I am stumped as to what happened.

That is something that should be 'hated' on.

Nah, you can't see it so I won't bother lol. Like I scraped my 4x4 front end the other day in a parking lot but you can't see it so I wasn't too pissed.

Ahh, well Adele just got an oem center console armrest and new shift boot, knob and short shifter. I have oem visors I haven't installed yet. Other than that, and a few more suspension bars, jdp scoop and front winglets, don't see anything at all in her future.

She will probably stay the way she is more or less for a while. The plan is to drive her for 3 more years, hand her down to the youngest kid and buy myself a wrx or si with a large downpayment. ;-)

He will probably drive her til the wheels fall off :-D. I'm hoping that takes quite a while. He's a good kid and really likes the car so why not?

I'm just gonna save until then.

Looking at buyin the wifey a new car at the end of this year but she isn't sure what she wants. We have a list that she's interested in but don't want to start looking until we get closer.

Man I would love a Fit that was handed down, especially one that is modified! And I think a WRX > Si. The new one is meh, and you can't beat a Subaru boxer engine!

You are probably talking to me lol. I wanted a Fit for quite some time so I snooped around for years until I finally was able to drive (I'm 18), where I got another car.

I was here for 3+ years before buying my Fit. Myself, Kyle and Charlie were all here prior to owning Fits and accumulated 20k+ posts between the three of us and only I will likely ever own a Fit haha

Also, we acquired our titles from the old mods; the current mods/admins most likely won't change them, they aren't as active as they were back in my day.

Blah... the Fit is still in the body shop (went in on the 5th). Went to pick it up today and there were a few things "off" with it; soooo, I'll have to wait another day before its done. :/

The friggin' tray door that covers the fuses was open when I got inside it, made me glad I removed the ETC... -.-

Yeah, it'll be a 2015 or 2016 model when I get it. I really really want a wrx but if they go to 3 door hatch, I may have to pass. Also, maybe Honda will surprise us and the 2015 Si will be nice. We will see. I don't NEED the awd but it would be fun.

Time will tell but for now the fit is mine and will be *his* in May 2015 lol.
