Longest you have been apart from your Fit?

I had to start this seeing that i finally got back earlier today from my stint in So Cal for work. I was gone for 5 weeks and i tell you when i saw my car all filthy and gross looking sitting in the parking lot i didnt care one bit cause i had to go for a spin. It took me a min to get used to the clutch again and the size, i was driving a 15 passenger ford van the whole time. haha. It felt like a go cart and it was like a new car again. Im happy i got it back and now finally i can finish all the projects that i have in store for it. Well maybe sunday cause i have to drive to GA in a couple hours. haha. Thanks for reading and lets hear your stories of being away from your rides

Longest I went without my Fit was a week. My friend and I took a road trip down to St. Pete, Florida. Stayed there for a week for a wedding, then we left for Miami, where I left my Fit in the garage while we where in Aruba. The fact that I was in the car for over 24 hours straight both on the way down and way up kinda made up for not seeing it for a week though, lol.

my time was about two minutes Spur of the moment thing....me and the wife with some friends decided to stop in a top-rated steakhouse with no reservations. It was the first time ive ever had valet parking. So we get out and off they go with my baby. ( of course he mashes the pedal) Go inside only to realize there is a two hour wait, so im like no..were going somewhere else. Walk outside to leave, and the punk just got done parking the Fit when i tell 'em to go fetch it back. I felt like a neglectful Fit owner having some complete stranger/moron drive my car as watch it drive away. Never again will i have valet parking! end rant...

6 days total for me: the first 3 day stint was when my bf and i drove to boston and back. we took his car, of course, seeing as i'd only had my fit for a week at the time.

the second 3 day jaunt was when it was in the shop getting the bumpers repainted. i was soooo glad to get my fit back after driving that loaner accord. but, i'll soon be without it again as the bumper have to get repainted AGAIN. blah
