Been meaning to register on here for the past year
Hello, my name is Alex, but I go by Muzzle in online gaming so I thought I'd use that name here as well. I got a grey Fit (base model) in May 2012 and I have loved it in the year and two months that I've had it. I am a student in Charlotte NC at college and I have put a ton of miles on it due to the fact that I love to drive. I'm not sure if anyone can top this, but in 14 months, I've managed to put 62,000 miles on my Fit. I know, I'm crazy. Everyone I know says it, including my parents lol. It's been in 2 accidents, 26 states, and tons and tons of different roads.
The majority of the time I'll be zipping around Charlotte looking at road construction (I'm going into transportation engineering) or taking day trips around NC. I've been to the beach in it 3 times, and I've taken in many times up into the mountains near Boone and Asheville. One thing I'm surprised with is how well it does when the pavement ends. Last summer I worked at an internship with a construction crew and it did fine around the jobsite. It did a 50 mile trip through the Rocky mountains outside of Denver earlier this summer on a slightly improved forest service road and has been on many gravel roads in the Appalachians. Despite that, and the fact that I do drive pretty fast, I haven't had any major mechanical issues, and just do an oil change ever 5000-7500 miles and get the tires rotated. Other than a new set of tires at 21000 miles (I ran over some nails in a construction site) and spray painting the hubcaps black, I haven't done anything to it. I am planning on putting new wheels on it eventually.
I'm happy to finally be registered on the site and look forward to getting to know you guys. Here are a few pictures of the car that I've taken over the past year or so.
I actually made it out of this without anyone pushing on it, but it took a little bit.
