Someone new from NJ.

Just traded in my 2010 Mazdaspeed3 and picked up my 2008 Honda Fit, SSM. No more car payments for this guy. Not new to the Honda scene. I actually recognize a whole bunch of names on this site. Back in 04 I started having a whole bunch of toys:

y7 turbo hatch: 13.600 @ 105

I Swapped a B16 into it and then sold it, for this:

H22 Integra with LSD. This was a fun one.

I ended up picking up a daily driver on top of the Integra:

231k miles on this puppy. Ran like a clock! I eventually got tired of things breaking on both cars and sold out for a new WRX. After a couple of months, I had this:

I then jumped into the “hella flush” feeling of things and turned my WRX into a fad:

I couldn’t help myself with boost and I had to mod it. 13.50 @ 100 with just a turboback. I ended up breaking the trans and was scared of if from that point on. I sold it locally for the down payment on on 2010 Mazdaspeed3. Great car. I’ve gotten more into mountain biking/road cycling and fast cars just don’t do it for me as much anymore. So, I sold it to get rid of the car payment I have and start saving the money for other things.

So that’s the story! I’m in central NJ and have seen FitDeez cruising the streets near me. I’ll be on the look out for a set of springs and wheels soon, because the car just “isn’t me” yet.

cool, same here. especially late at night, it's a rush mashing around the city on a road bike. or morning i guess, whenever there's not a lot of cars in the way
