Just to clue people in the "fire cabbage" JCrim was talking about. Its basically a cabbage that's been cut into sections (4 to 6 depending on size) and thrown in the crawfish boiling pot usually after the crawfish is done cooking. It basically soaks up a lot of the seasoning during the boil so expect some heat when you bite into one.

I'll pass on that. For health reasons I'm just not a big fan of spicy foods. :P

I wouldn't mind a drive to LA. So... New Orleans in April for some good food and good times? (Surely it will be cleaned up by then??)

I've been tossing around the idea of doing a k24 swap. Maybe when the motor hits 100k. Not even at 60k yet lol

In latest news on my front, I've decided to cease all modding of the Fit as she will be replaced sometime in the next year, maybe year and a half. While at the Honda dealership for service the other day the salesman who sold me my Fit was impressed with what I had done so far. I expressed my interest in something a little faster and then began the test drives.

He let me take out a Civic, Civic Si and a 2001 Honda S2000. I literally could have traded my Fit in for that S2000 outright. But unfortunately with my daily drive it would be inhumane to wear down such a nice car that really should only be driven on a nice weekend cruise.

After getting a taste of what Honda had to offer and my blood now turning to nitrous from all the horsepower and torque I was subjected to, I went over next door to the Dodge dealership to look at the new Dart that came out. I test drove one and instantly fell in love. So much power and style in that car! It's like a miniature Charger. I'm completely sold and would have traded-in right then and there but I'm going to wait and save up for a down payment and pay off the Fit a bit more. I absolutely refuse to go into a deal upside down.

Despite the fact that I will soon be a Dart owner in the not-too-distant future. I'll still attend a few Fit meets if familiar people are there. You all are friends in my book.

I learned to drive in a '67 Dodge Dart. LOL that car had NO power, we used to cruise around downtown doing neutral drops to try and win off-the-line and I don't think we ever did...Maybe if we went up against a Volkswagen....


Funny they are bringing it back, or the name anyway...

The GT was a good little car, ours wasn't a GT...

Lol. I'll be saving up for the 2014 Dodge Dart R/T
It'll have a 2.4L Multiair Turbo and turn over 184hp with around 178f-lb of torque.

It'll have power alright!

It will be as fast as my car. 3200 pounds isn't that light.

Yeah those things are huge. I don't want to think about the MPG in that.

Not sure of the MPG in the 2.4L as the engine data is unavailable until it gets closer to release but the 1.4L Turbo gets slightly better mileage than the Fit.

Not too bad for a car of it's weight class.

Blue, I'm kinda curious how well the Dart would stack up to your Fit. Perhaps when the time comes, we can go have some fun on the track.

Should just man up and get the S2000. It was the best car you mentioned here.

Nah, I really have no interest in having a roadster. But I hear Honda is coming out with a new S3000 soon. After I pay off the Dart, THEN I'll think about a weekend cruiser.

Hey everyone! Yesterday, I went and competed in an autocross event for my first time... Its was a blast to drive; unfortunately though, I did not run my GD. Instead I co-drove a friends AP1 S2k.

Here's a link to my fastest run of the day.
