When your merging on the freeway with the accelerator pegged and you start rocking forward and backward to try and gain speed.

Im surprised I haven't bent the steering wheel yet doing that. I must say this though: the steering wheel on my 08 MR base fit is very strong...


You know u drive a fit when you go the speed limit (driving like you are 80 yrs old) just to increase gas mileage.
The closest I ever got was 37.8 mpg, though...

when sitting at a traffic light you spot a modded Fit up ahead and start rambling off a list of all the mods you can see. (Ohh hes got the Js exhaust and MF10s and skuk2 Pro-Cs and JDM smoke tails and a Fitfreak sticker, and a Spoon antenna, and... ) My wife just rolls her eyes at me
Heres one i just thought of, When your mod list includes a three page sticky of all seventy-three wheels you have had on your car since you bought it, two years ago! (Cough, cough ahem RayTylerKelso cough cough ) LOL JFWY guys

/Inspired by previous poster.

You might be a Fit Freak if you have more sets of rims for your car than you do shoes for yourself and your significant other.

...when oncoming traffic flashes their high-beams just to get a better look at your car (At least that's what I try to tell myself).

Wheel slip in the rain!

Cargo cover as a tent, well my home made one turned out to be crap maybe number 2 will work better.

There is a thread somewhere where I posted pics of my GF and my set up in cargo mode for camping, sleeping bags & pillows. The Fit IS a tent!

I love this car!

haha dunno if it has been said, but you know you own a Fit when changing lanes on the highway suddenly becomes a video game and the goal is to get across the lanes, sharing the road with 1/2 the power of most of your opponents!

. . . everyone you tell about your car has one of two reactions:

1. "What the *^&% is a Fit?"
2. They make a lame pun with the word fit. ("Oh, does it fit you?" "So you got a good deal? You didn't have a fit at the dealer?" "Did you check to see what fits in it?" etc.)

I have never yet seen a modded Fit. All the ones I see are stock, down to the rims and exhaust and some don't even have tint on the windows!!

I waved at a youngish guy in a BOM Sport yesterday, he was right next to me. He didn't seem to care...but I *know* he had serious brake light envy when I pulled in front of him to show off my "FIT" 3rd brake light... he was driving so slowly I left him in the dust...yawn...

I've told the story before about filling up at the same time as a guy driving a For2. Another guy was talking with the 4two owner about mileage, etc. when he spotted my Fit. Usual questions about mileage and hybrid and so on. When the pump clicked off, I said "that was a 45 mpg tank". He stood there for a minute, then said 'That's better than my motorcycle!'.

You know you own a Fit when you call your car a a$$hole magnet. Park it half a mile from the entrance to a store and when you come back, there's six other cars parked right next to it.

When you are asked "Where is the rest of your car?"

I love when people I work with and come up to me and say "cute car" and my reply is "don't hate because my wallet is fatter than yours" (from money I save from gas mileage)

...when you believe the Fit is not underpowered, just that most other cars are overpowered.
