more than I've seen!
That's three more than I've seen!
I just got my new beastie last week and so far have only seen two others, both in passing, on Silver Star Road.
If you take Silver Star in to town in the mornings, then you must be the white Fit I think I see going in the opposite direction.

Oh wow. I'm nowhere near Silver Star Rd. I'm over by Valencia CC East.
It's weird because now I'm seeing a Fit at least once a day. It bums me out. And now that you've said that you have seen another white Fit on the road... that bums me out more. I liked having the idea in my head that I was the only white Fit on the road. Haha.
Anyways... Congrats on the car! Maybe I'll see you on the road sometime. What color did you get?

Saw three today!
It's a new record!
Ended up taking the Turnpike to the 408 back in to town, getting off at the JYP exit. I took Colonial east to go to Babies R Us to pick up some gear to protect the house from the one baby wrecking crew (and protect the one baby wrecking crew from the furniture). This was between 5 and 6 PM.
On the way from JYP to Orange Ave I was behind a silver Fit with an almost identical license plate holder . . . mine is metal with black dog paws on it, this one looked like it had smaller cat paws on it. Looked like a sport model, with the stock alloy wheels, and it turned right on to Orange Ave. Then heading east on Colonial I passed two more Fits - a woman in a baby blue (no other way to describe the color) Fit, and a guy in a (as I recall) silver Fit. Both were headed in the opposite direction.
So far mine is the only one I've seen in College Park, and I'm willing to bet it will be the only one I see in Clermont for a good while. I had some guy in an older Eddie Bauer Edition SUV thing (that probably gets gallons per mile ) give me a "WTF is that?" look today. Well, maybe it was more like the look you get on your face when you accidentally step in discarded chewing gum. Or dog crap.

BOM sighting!
I saw a Fit in Winter Garden! This is my most westerly metro area Fit sighting (not counting mine, when I take it to work) so far, and the only BOM I've seen on the road.
Monday afternoon, between 5.30 and 5.45, on Highway 50 around where the 429 crosses it, I spotted a BOM Fit going west. Couldn't see the driver - we were both going about 50 in opposite directions.
Didn't really look that closely today, so I don't know if it's a regular commute for the BOM owner.

Daytona Beach Fitfreak
Hey - I know this post is related to Orlando, but Daytona isn't that far removed right?
Just moved to Port Orange last month and would love to meet fellow GD3 enthusiasts. Whether you got the car to go green and save on gas, build a head-turning show car, or for simple Honda brand loyalty and reliability, I want to see and hear about your rides and share in the enthusiasm about a car that we USDM consumers can finally experience and enjoy with the rest of the globe.
This car has tons of potential and lots of personality and I love it. My goal is to design a uniquely subtle, sportier version of the already decent looking sport model. I'd love to brainstorm ideas and get some tech/design/install knowledge and help from the Honda community and hopefully make some contributions of my own :-)
If any of you Orlando area folks want to meet up drop me a line or post to the thread!
Happy motoring!

I just wanna say I am a little dissappointed after I drove 650 miles and to no avail, not one person from Orlando showed up to panducky's meet. Which I might add was a fun ass time. Next time , show up guys, me and the wife are bringing both of our fits.
#14
btw what area do you guys live in and what school do you guys attend? because i got to vcc in the west campus, and i saw 2 black fits one sport and one not, both girls driving them. i think im the only MR fit in vcc west campus.

Sorry I didnt go either.... I was planning on it, I just didnt.
From what it seems like all the Fits would have been coming from my/our area. Most of the people that showed at the Lollicup meet would have been at the Panducky Meet if I went. (so they said)
If they wanted to go they should have went. Dont think I was needed to go. Again, Im sorry. My weekend wasnt the best. I was in a mini depression stage because I didnt get my rims on. Hahah! Really.
Im in that area all the time. I live off Dean Rd. At least weekly I see 1-2 dudes in the same black Fit Sport on University. Its dirty all the time. Ive seen another dude driving a SSM Sport on the same road. One of those 2 Fits wouldnt be you would it?
Also another SSM Sport; dude driven in the FullSail area.
My friend Jon has a white Sport thats usually in the Curry Ford area. (works are Greenway)
Another red Sport that lives off Econ. I saw him a few mornings pulling out of the same driveway, figured he lived there?
I saw a VBP sport lowered on Weds ONCE. Havent seen it again. Sex?
Also seen a red Sport with Mugen visors and Work Equips once. Parked in front of the Downy Dog Park. Sex?

Yea, that was our Chinchilla pack. I had my yellow wheels on for that meet.
Isnt your car always by the China Garden? I know every Lollicup meet theres a MR Sport parked out front of the China Garden.
Saw another dude today. SSM base, auto. With the way he was driving he probably gets 50mpg. Sorry man, but you were driving too slow. And stop braking when no ones in front of you! Maybe I'll get lucky and hes not on here. Hehe.
Anyone know any good tint shops around Orlando that is cheap but good?
Dont remember what I paid.... $140-$160. Probably not cheap enough?
