While FitFreak was away....

We got our Fit! OK, technically that's not true. We originally had a deposit on a Sport AT Vivid Blue Pearl, but since a Storm Silver one came in and the dealer gave us first crack at it AND our old car has moved into "could explode at any moment" status AND it's 98 freaking degrees here in Chicago and the thought of driving even one more day in a car that not only has no A/C but forces you to run the heater to keep the engine from overheating AND the Blue one won't be in for at least another 3 weeks ....and well, who cares about paint color anyway, right?

I'll post some pics tomorrow and gas mileage report (wow!) in a few minutes. We already put 400 miles on it with an impromtu trip to Wisconsin Dells to see my family who were on vacation there. Loved every minute of it. Even better than I expected!

Now that you own a Storm Silver, don't forget to post on that thread (especially pics)! I like the Vivid Blue Pearl, but for the long haul I prefer the Silver. Once you get attached to your particular car, whatever color you have will be your favorite!

Sorry about the run-on, guys. I was deep in the throes of Fit Fever when i posted that.

To answer your questions: we got our Fit from Ed Napleton Honda in Oak Lawn. We live in Ukrainian Village right now. I'm originally from the oft-overlooked west suburb of Addison. But my heart, at least as far as baseball is concerned, is definitely on the South Side.
