Must be nice to have a lift at your disposal.

Thanks guys - yes, it's pretty sweet.
First thing is the $$signs I see rolling by.
Oil changes, tire stuff, transmission fluid all come to mind next.

Front lip, suspension - in the future.

For starters it was really sweet just to be able to walk under my FIT and take look up 'er skirts__

I've had my car 9 days and just put in a lower grille mesh last night (I won't post pictures because they're everywhere).

My next plan was to get chrome interior door handles, but I've looked everywhere on this forum and others, as well as parts dealers and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Can anyone point me to where I can find some? It's been a frustrating search.

Was that rice grown around the Toxic Avenger? Not that it would really be seen much, but it does look nice.

Been running on a full fuel fill since June 9th.

Just as I pulled up to fill up today the low fuel warning light
came on.

Filled the tank with... 9.381 gallons 87 octane @ $33.76

I'm set for another month.

This is a months worth of running around town with essentially
very very little time on the highway.

A month? dang.

Gas barely lasts me 4 days on average... and in the coming month or so... it'll barely last more than a day.

PS. I hope you are attentive about car maintenance... you might not run out the Maintenance Minder in a year, so you might have to do the oil change after 12 months, instead of waiting for the MM to tell you.

Did it in the backseat for the first time in a long time. For some reason our best 'experiences' are in a car out on some back country gravel road. We were impressed with the... Umm... ergonomics of the Fit. Much more comfortable than when we were teenagers in my thunderclucker.

Put the back seats down and put the front seats forward and it basically turns into a queen size bed. It opens up a whole new level of "ergonomics".
