#281
This Fit will be my 23rd car (i'm 34). It is replacing a 91 Caddy Coupe beater w/ 70k miles. But it is really replacing my 01 MB E320 4-matic wagon 88k miles(my current daily driver). The Fit will be the daily..and now the benz will be the beater or winter car.

Okay my first car was a 1992 Nissan Stanza, in which it wasa really good car, but I didn't take very good care of it, plus I let my gf run the heck out of it too.
Then my next car was a lowrider Nissan truck. The last owner didn't take very good care it, but I I had great times with that until I let the transmission break down.
After that, I went with a Nissan 200sx. It was a good car until people started ramming into me. I just felt embarrassed after that.
Then I went with 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT. Well it had it's ups & downs. The ups are: It was powerful, & I thought it was beautiful too.
The downs (& there are plenty): It was bad on fuel ( had to put premium since it was turbo.) 3 years after I owned it, I had to take it to the shop every month for something. The road handling was crappy & it was automatic. I just couldn't trust it anymore than what I can throw.
& then there's my Fit. So far the only trouble I had was the AC switch, but I love the car even though I still owe. After I get done with paying it off I will modify it. It's my first stick shift, & I don't think I will ever go back to manual. Plus I'm keeping it

Before getting my Fit, I use to drive a '96 Civic Cpe...still have it, but I'm selling it to a friend soon.
So now i have a '08 Fit. I like it. Wasn't what I was looking to get but im pleased haha. I plan to do a few mods to the car since its sitting stock rite now...eventually lol.

New to site as well... Well I've had a 2004 SVT focus with a Stage 2 JacksonRacing Supercharger for the last 3 years, My girlfriend (live together) and I were looking to replace her gas guzzling 2000 323i and her choices were: Toyota yaris and Honda fit. Being around my Honda brothers I opted for the Fit Sport and we picked it up for 12K with 50k miles about 2 weeks ago. .... We're not gonna do anything to the fit as she knows but i plan on doing some sort of ECU reflash or tuning and simple mods to keep it quiet.. anyway here are the pix of my SVT and Our Fit.

I'm 30+ cars deep at age 28. Lots and lots of Volkswagens, mostly mk1's and mk2's, but with a couple mk3's, a mk4, and a supercharged VR6 Corrado in there as well. Had a 2004 Scion xB for 3+ years, a 1991 GMC Dually short bus, lots of other good stuff.
My latest drivers have been a 1993 Miata, which I still have, and a 1996 Cherokee, which I C4C'd for the Fit.
A bunch of random pictures from various cars throughout the years.
1984 Rabbit autocross car (still have, but for sale)
My '93 Corrado SLC - supercharged VR6, staggered BBS RS's, lots of other good stuff.
1984 Jetta, on coilovers and Ronal Bear wheels.
BABE Rally 2009 vehicle - 1982 El Camino (2nd year winning the event)
My 1993 Miata, which I still have.
1996 Cherokee 4.0 4wd 5spd that was just C4C'd
My $600 1991 GMC Short Bus....short lived, but was a blast while I had it.
BABE Rally 2008 1990 Saab 900 (first year running the event...won it!)
My 2004 Scion xB, bought new and sold w/ 105k trouble-free miles:
1986 GTI 8v
My first car - 1997 Jetta
1985 Jetta Limo, grafted together in 1992 out of two wrecked Jettas....had 6 functional doors.
1982 Rabbit 1.7L gas - 500k miles!
There's a bit of my automotive insanity....just scratching the surface

I gave up cargo room.. to get cargo room..
I was last driving a Ford Aerostar... turned it in for C4C.. on a Base 09 a/t.
and before that station wagons..
I only wish the Airwave was available in the US.
This is my first New car... as opposed to a new-to-me car.
