Hey, what part of Houston are you in? I don't see that many and I'm on the west side, but I also don't drive in rush hour traffic a whole lot. What do you have so I can wave if I see you?

When was the last time the weather forecast has been right down here? I usually wash the VBP at least once a week during school but I have to go to the fair grounds and it'll pick up a ton of dirt, on top of that I've been sick with splitting headaches. But thats not holding back from washing it Saturday afternoon.

Spotted two, both of which were BOM within 2 minutes of each other. The 2nd one was stock, but the first however looked it got abandoned in Mexico (no offense to anyone). The sides were covered in chrome. The window trim, the between the front and rear door windows, and on the side skirt; and to top it all off the rims were still stock.

I figured that. I had my phone on multi-shot mode and it made the photos that size. The pole just "magically" appeared in front of me during the shoot.
The only thing in the pictures that are really visible is the outrageous chrome strip on the side skirt.

Oh, I saw a BOM Sport today too...only they had crapped it up with bumper stickers all over the rear end. I'm telling you, the quickest way to ruin any car is to put a freaking bumper sticker on it! There ought to be a better way to tell people how you feel than sticking some low-rent sticker that never pulls off after the election....how stupid do you feel driving a "W '08" sticker around now???
Also saw a NHBP Sport, it was almost as dirty as mine. Didn't see the driver well, but there was a sticker on the rear window that looked like a university sticker.

Well, today I finally seen a Fit with aftermarket rims. They were on a TWB base and looked to be some Enkei's.
2 NHBP Sports, 1 TWB Base, 1 MR Sport, & 1 BOM. Making my total Fit spotting for today 5.

You are seeing the most Fits of anyone, I think!
I saw a TWB yesterday, and an SSM today. At my kids' school, one of the teachers asked me how I like my Fit, because he's thinking of getting one and I told him I love it, and had he seen my plates? He said, No, he hadn't so I closed the hatch and he read the plate and said...
"ohhhhhh...." like "Oh, I get it now."

I guess so. LOL I believe those are pretty much almost locals in a nearby town. I know of 2 BOMs, 2 SSMs, 2 MRs, and 1 VBP in Angleton alone. Out here in Rosho, theres only two. My VBP and someone else's NHBP sport.
Have you heard that Texas may be doing 7 character plates either the end of this year or '09?

One thing I don't like is that the spacing is weird - since FIT has so much empty space, it looks much larger than the FRK part, which looks all scrunched together. Nothing to be done about it, but it bugs my visual sense.
So Angleton is packed full of Fits! Amazing, I wouldn't have thought so.

Naw, really???? I wonder if I can re-do my plates then? I don't know what one character would do but it's worth thinking about....

Texas License Plates
Standard License Plate
As for your plates, I see what your talking about. If only the "R" and "K" weren't so close, the space would look even and both sides.
I remember seeing a lady in a SSM sport all the time last year during school, but I haven't seen her around recently. Also, right before the Rosharon/Alvin exit on 288 at RPM inc (or something like that) there is almost always a '07 TW base parked in the lot.

Saw 4 at the dealership I pass by.
One VBP GD3 tailgating me. Some douche.
One BOM GE8 Sport. Old man with family.
One GD3 and a GE8 leaving the parking lot at night about half a mile away. (Apparently, I have an uncanny "Fit Sense")

I saw a TWB base this morning, and not 5 minutes later, a VBP Sport. Then, 3 hours later, a MR Sport. Finally, the piece de resistance, a brand-new TW Sport with the stickers still on it! (It may have been being test-driven.)
I didn't get a long look at the TW but it looked like a mini-van. I still think they are like 2 different cars now, the GD3 and the GE8.
Later in the day, son and I saw an SSM, and we THINK we saw a BSP '09, but it got away before we could turn around and chase it.
So that was 6 total if you count the one we were pretty sure was an '09. Insane!

When doing lettering or artwork with lettering, you have to scrunch certain letters closer together so they look as if they are properly spaced, when in reality if you spaced all the letters the same, the piece would look stupid. You don't see the problem until you try it yourself.
