Good Thing I Traded to the Fit When I Did!!
To show a brief overview of what I did, I traded my 99 Mustang Cobra for my Fit a little over six months ago, to one, get a realiable daily driver and two, to get something that has a little better gas mileage. The Fit has done these things perfectly and the little car has really grown on me.
Okay, so here is what happened today... I was on my way home from work and I drove by the performance shop where I used to go with my Cobra and I figured I would stop by an say hey to the owner and his wife. Nice people and we used to do a lot of car shows and stuff. So, as I am driving in, I see my old Cobra sitting there, which brought back some of the memories of the good times with it. I then went into the shop and talked with the owner and he said that he is not sure what is wrong with it, but something is broke and he is going to have to take the whole front end apart to figure it out. That is expensive on those cars. I guess it was a good thing that I traded when I did, lol.

Nah, I traded it to the Honda Dealership, so in essence, he didn't buy it from me, lol. Honestly though, the car ran fine when I traded it. It had 130,000 plus miles on it and used about a quart of oil between oil changes. The guy who bought it, from what I know, is pretty rough on it. He probably let it run low on oil. Who knows. Just glad I'm not paying to fix it, lol.

FAIL! That's FIAT
Sold my Mazda MX6 which is basically a FORD anyways and got the Fit, I could care less how slow the Fit is its a much better car in every aspect.
And FORDS really are crap, I drove a 4WD Bronco in high school that required transmission repair almost monthly. I'm never going back to a domestic vehicle ever again!
