If you hurry up.

Actually it looks like a good product. Thanks for the link. I wasnt hammering your spelling just having fun with the effect of sound being gone. It so good even here I can't hear a thing :)

text me the number plz ;)

and I am so asking for you :P

Well crap now I feel old. You aren't the person I was thinking of who was set to get theirs today. :shakes head: My memory is shot.

Nah no worries. Its Friday, the weekend!!!

yay! Did mine get shipped?

Won't be picked up until tomorrow.

mr.alcheng- LOL! :icon18:

so i test drove the '12 FitSport im going to buy and placed deposit for max creditcard they would accept (it's a united airlines milage card :p ). im paying invoice. they said they can't go any lower and even if they did we're talking less than $100 so, considering how willing they were to help me, how they complimented my G, VIP like treatment, etc... i just let it go. it's still lower by a few hundred from the other no-go honda dealer that i could not get to for unknown reasons... lol :icon14: :eekdance: :rofl2:

will take delivery late tomorrow morning. obviously im not going to sacrifice my early am Z motoring :driving: for this car. :icon17: bought insurance as well so everything is all set. this should all be over by tomorrow lunch time. :icon17: wheew...

thanks for all the tips and suggestions, mr.alcheng. :tup: i thought i through very well and at the end i think this is the best solution for me for now...cheap, reliable, good history, swapable tires/wheels with my other Fit, and practical. thats all i need right now. will save the rest for Z mods. :stirthepot:

:tup: Cool beans.

thanks, mr.onzedge. that Juke SV is one hell of a crossover for sure. :tup:

Sweet! Congrats on completing a nearly completed process

:excited: for :pics:

thanks, mr. JAR. yah, after the test drive i parked it next to my G and i didnt even feel like taking a pict. :icon17: 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.' :rofl2: hahaha.

:icon18:

:icon17:

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. :)

:tup:

Good Morning, err Afternoon All! :hello:

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! :tiphat:

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.

ok folks... I've been following this "call & pick up & delivery" thing the whole day... and I am friggin' :confused: :confused:

Are you guys talking about Chinese Take-Out in here????

:bowrofl::bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Mr.kenchan, :tup: :tup: :tup:

Congrats on the purchase!!!

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 :tiphat: , I always love to help people to spend their money... :tup:


those are for the Fit :ugh2:, or for the Z :tup:???

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...

thanks, mr.gurney. :hello: yah, when i first got the 2008 5MT it reminded me of the 91 civic hatch i had. the 2009 AT does fine just as long as i dont drive it. :rofl2: i hate the frikken AT in that car. :mad: the new 2012 is MT and seating position was HELLS BETTER than the 2008 5MT which felt like riding my kid's bike so i was sold immediately. :tup: i suppose i will post up some snaps tomorrow. :tup:

wow, quite a work whore you were today. :icon17: GJ!! :tup: have fun out there at the meet.

i think im going to do the waterless wash tonight too. it's still too windy and the last thing i need is dust collecting in the water beads while drying the car. :eekdance:

congrats on the Fit, kenchan! I am not up to date, but what were your criteria when purchasing this car and what other models did it beat out?

mr.alcheng- LOL! :icon18: @ chinese take outs. thanks again. :D yah, those bits are for the new car. :icon17:

actually my 370Z runs fujimura which is an axleback. the z's exhaust is aquate imho, other than the backpressure the muffler section has to muffle the sound. take that bit out and some post MAF tubes and the rpm rev freely to redline. :driving:

thanks, bruce. :tup: criteria was simple.. cargo space with rear seat up, 4 door hatch, fuel efficient, regular gas, reliable, and pretty good looks. and for me, since i already have a 2009, a lot of the bits are compatible.

the closest condenders i considered were:

2012 Impreza hatch (not a bad car, availability issues, price on higher end, just didnt care for subaru quality and service historically bad experience)

MS3 (was my original choice but turned out not as good as i remembered from an earlier test drive i did back in 2009, and #2 from most expensive).

Fiesta hatch (didnt like the interior, quite small cargo space)
Focus hatch (just didnt care for this car, im not a ford person)

SonicLTZ hatch (cargo space too small)

GTI 5dr (great interior and all, but pricy, and driving dynamics like a sedan, dealer unwilling to work with price, most expensive).

Juke SV 6MT(great driving dynamics, i liked the character, fun to drive, but cargo space and interior too small)

used STI's... all were either modded or one was in an accident per carfax...didnt feel like paying for new one.. would've gotten one even premium gas.

Lol Kenchan! :bowrofl: wait till minis grow up-it just gets worse-parents always on bottom of list with worst jobs! :)

Mu! You better start driving now mon! :tup: saturday at noon coming up quick! Bahahaha!;)

:excited: oh! I forgot! Went shopping today and saw a PG (platinum gray?) Z in parking lot-hubby thinks i am crazy-i was like " hey hey-look! It's a Z:icon17::eek:" nine year old "where? Where?!:excited: i wanna see!!"....lol!:happydance:

:tup::icon18:Mr.Alcheng ! Z azz is always good-no matter dirty or clean!:p
As for husband or wife...my husband is :confused: too sometimes :p but he seems to like me anyway!

:tup:Ahhhh-the journey is complete! Congratulations mr.kenchan! No more challenging drives to honda dealer! Good for you!:bowrofl:

No but that does sound delicious! :yum:

I think I want a Corvette Z06 lol

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

:iagree:

:excited:

I love cooking as well! :tup:

Hey all! Been super busy lately, but took time to vacuum and clean the interior with the Prima Nero that I picked up last week! :icon17:

Happy Birthday AK!

Hey Mr.happy bud... :hello:

lol thank you, devil on my shoulder. :tup:

God I am biting my tongue so hard right now. :p

If you aren't the type to worry about your car too much and you don't need the extra practicality I think that is the best approach.

That doesn't work too well for me though. I have cheap automatic DD just because that's practical (wife doesn't drive stick) and because I'm inclined to worry about the car if it's one I really like. So instead I went for the "appliance" - cheap, good mileage, reliable, etc. as a daily driver. If I had another sporty car I liked, I would never want to park in the grocery store parking lot so I would get a door ding, but with my Civic I try to avoid them but if I get one I'd just suck it up and move on.
