The Fit's 1st photoshoot (NO 56K almost 50 pics)
Monday, June 02, 2008 6:31 PM
I've had the Fit almost 3 months now, I just hit 2500 miles and I @!#$ love this car. I've been getting really good gas mileage out of the car so far while giving it an aggressive break in. Well for this last fill up I decided to take it easy and drive it trying to conserve gas.... so I filled it up the other day and calculated it out.... 100% all city driving came out to be 39.1 mpg around town . I was happy so I figured I'd give the car a reward....

First I washed it and gave it the garage for the night to keep it clean till morning. In the morning I gave it a massage with a Mother clay bar, then I went over it with Mother's California Gold Stage 1, 2, and 3 and a coat of Mothers Reflections Top Coat (No joke by FAR the best wax I've ever used, that @!#$ is crazy!!!) Once I was done with that I let it get dark and went out for a few night pics. Then this morning I wiped it down and went out for some day pics.

Anyways, less talk more pics....

nice man
i really like those cars, but the thing i dont like the most is the headlights
that is what prevents me from loving them
is it an auto or a manual?
i cant remember what you said you got in previous posts, but i am assuming manual

yes its a manual trans. As for the headlights.... yeah they are @!#$ huge lol, thats the only thing that I don't like about it in terms of looks, I've actually been checking e-bay every once in a while hoping to come across a set of black headlights for cheap but no luck so far.

and thanks for the comments so far

guess i'm the oddball, but i like the headlights. from the front of the car, i like it, but the rest ruins it. yours definitely doesn't look bad though.

i dunno though, i just cant see it being very fun to drive. am i wrong? does it have some pep?




Check out my build thread!

Its actually very fun to drive, its not fast by any means but the it handles like its on a rails and the fact that it only weighs a little over 2400 lbs is very easy to toss the car around, I don't know how to explain it.... its very nimble and quick reacting which is what I like, its slow in a straight line.

You'll never catch me dead in one of those things. Next mod should be all around tints so no one can see who's driving.

Looks nice DS

Other than the composition of a couple of the shots (which doesn't mean much) it looks great, good job!

Nice, you make that car look good. Normally I don't like it very much.

Anyone else think that the Fit would make a great platform for a new CRX? The front end is nice and so is the interior. Change the roofline to lower it, shorten the wheelbase and make it a two door/two seater; keep everything else as is and I'll betcha that people would buy it.

Are some of those in downtown Palatine...they look like it.

the car looks great. I know what you mean by not fast but still fun.
My Suzuki Sidekick is like that. It's a blast to drive...but not fast at all
you're actually right, it is hard to explain how that can be...but it is.

The fit is one of three Honda/Acuras I would consider. They don't make the other two.

whats the point in having 2 pile of @!#$ cavs? For a daily driver I'd rather have a car thats safer, newer, better on gas, better built, better handling, more comfortable, cheaper to insure, with a ton more room and lower car payment.... but yes, they took my man card when I sold a CAVALIER for something far better.

If your user name has anything to do with your taste in cars every automotive related thought you have ever had is officially null and void

Of course LOL, there are only so many spots I know off the top of my head but I'm always on the lookout for more. Like the strip mall that burn down, I found that by accident. And the weird redish pink building, came over some train tracks and that was the first building on the left, I went right past it and busted a U-turn to go back LOL.


thanks for the comments
