thanks, mr. JAR. yah, after the test drive i parked it next to my G and i didnt even feel like taking a pict. i already have a 2009 (same shape with minor differences but crappy AT) so not very exciting.

the sales guy cracked up when i got out of the Fit and said 'this isn't a very exciting car.' hahaha.

i ordered up the factory all season floor mats and window visors along with oil filter/washer, wiper refills, etc. at my usual online honda shop.

will look at an axleback, swift springs, and wheel set over the weekend for it too.

Good Morning, err Afternoon All!

Been the day off from hell after the work week from hell with a full day at the office on Sunday to look forward to.

I had to put in a mr. kenchan day of house work today. Started at 7:30 am on some chores - had to cut a door to clear a new area rug mrs. gurney just bought, fixed a noisy garage door, did some paint touch-ups around the house, and then started cleaning.

It was one of those days where you just get on a roll and don't stop. I ended-up cleaning all the door frames, baseboards, windows, and plantation shutters. Dusted, vacuumed and even cleaned the toilets.

Took a small break to eat, and then finally got to spend some time cleaning the Z. Since it was mainly dusty with some splashes from running through sprinkler run off every morning, I did a Griot's waterless wash.

I'm really beginning to believe that it's easier than a conventional water and soap wash as long as the car isn't too dirty. Anyway, followed that up with some Griot's spray on wax, and I'm ready to do some cruising tomorrow morning north of Houston.

I've been mapping out some different routes and taking notes on the roads that work. For the most part, it's worked out pretty well.

There's a car show/meet tomorrow night that I hope to attend with some of the local Z's. I'll take some shots and post them tomorrow night after I get back.

Enjoy your weekend all!

Congratulations mr. kenchan! I really like the Fit for a DD. If and when I get to the point that I can't/won't take the Z to the office, I'm getting a Fit.

I test drove one a while back and it reminded me of my 1979 Civic CVCC 5-speed. LOVED that little car.

Anyone, please share some pictures of the new addition.

I am glad to hear you are picking up the Fit tomorrow, it meets all your criteria and you'll be happy and worry free!!

And you are very welcome to consider my suggestion , I always love to help people to spend their money...

So, now that I know I'm replacing the 6 in a matter of months to a year, I can't decide if I want to go super-practical, practical-fun, or just go nuts and get another sports car.

Decisions, decisions...
