Default The Fit is Ho(me)!

Picked up an '09 Fit Sport 5-speed manual in Milano Red today - my new daily driver! Had 5 miles on the clock when I drove it off the lot. Bone stock for now - only added OEM floor mats, so lots of room for tinkering. Getting XM in the car is top priority!

Was too late to take any pics when I got home, but I will post some, soon. This is one cool little car!

FIT!

No need - the license plate flips up to expose a food chute for the gerbils

Seriously, tho, for a 1.5l engine, the thing will MOVE. And there are several FI kits available.

I gotta pay for the car first. I'm definitely going to add XM, soon. And then, we'll see. Ultimately, I only have it for two years, though, as my daughter will be 18 then, and need a ride.

Rich, I'm not going to put an SC in a car for an 18-year-old

Now, if I were to get one for me......
