Correct. Anyone can drive away in a running 370 and they are fine until they stop the engine. BTW -- an amazing number of vehicles are stolen because people leave their friggin cars running while they "just run into the store for a water/pack of smokes/tall-boy bud/chore-boy pad, etc."

Maybe they like to keep the AC running? Maybe they want to save wear and tear on the starter? Who knows the reason, but it is not a good practice.

Whenever anyone I don't know (and many people I do know) approaches me first, I make an automatic assumption that they are unstable/dangerous/perverted. That way, I am pleaseantly surprised when they turn out to be OK (which sometimes happens).

hey guys, i finally got some droid picts of my new winter beater dd. went out and picked up some chinese for dinner.





im really liking this car for what it is. it's super smooth riding compared to my 2009 FitSport which my wife uses, and the 5MT with iVtec actually works pretty well going into expressway entrance ramps. it's A LOT torquier (sp?) than the 08 5MT i had.

with the way the thing rides, i think im just going to leave it stock. it's got wheel gap but im going to be taking the family all over so parking ramps, etc i wont have to worry about.

Nice Mr. Kenchan I must have been In Mexico when you made the decision, what made you go with the Fit over the other choices?

thanks, mr.zman!
yah, i tried many different cars but when it came to utility (biggest factor), reliability, regular gas, overall cost, past experience, made in japan... i gave the Fit another try.

the 08' i sold was MT and it wasn't terrible but i hated the pedal position. it was too close made for real short legged people. my new one they really fixed this area and it feels like a normal car. so i was immediately sold when i took a test drive on Friday.

Mr.kenchan, I agree on leaving it as stock form, change/mod it later when you get bored on certain area.

The FitSport looks nice and sharp, the wheel does look a bit small, but I think it is enough for its size, well, won't cost much to bump-up to the next size but I bet you can leave it til next season...

Mr.ZMan8, Glad you are back in one piece, Mexico is such a party place, all you can eat & drink in the hotel, clubs around the hotel area..

Regarding Mr.kenchan decision, I can confidently say I know the story almost as good as ken-San... LOL

Mr.kenchan... I believe you with my statement, right?

And the story between Mr.kenchan and the new FitSport, I'll say the process is the Auto-Version of Romeo & Juliet

ken-San, ?????
