Why wouldn't you be interested in a Fit?
I considered the Fit but wanted something with better highway mileage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm thinking of getting a Fit. I think lori's pretty happy with hers.

Of the two hondas I've driven of late, what makes me nuts is that the speed display gets blocked out by the steering wheel for someone of my height. WTF is up with that? Me and my neighbor are of average height and proportions, but it is a given the s.w will block the display unless you are short or exceptionally tall of torso.

I've had that happen on several rental cars, sarameg. It's very annoying.
My issue is that it seems popular for the night-time glowy color to be RED these days. And...I don't like that. It makes me feel like my dashboard is evil.
I am hoping my car lasts a good long time, seeing as how I'm only putting about 4K a year on it right now (it's at about 98K)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm definitely looking at a Fit for my next car.

WE looked at a Fit (bought a 2010 Toyota Matrix) and I liked it a lot, but it was small enough (on the outside; it's like a Tardis inside!) that I'd probably pee in my pants every time an 18 wheeler passed us on the highway.

I'll have to actually drive some cars before I decide. What I hate most about a lot of cars is how slope-y they are. I have a hard enough time seeing without my car getting in my way! Really I'd like a more square car but still want great gas mileage and not too spend.
But, really, I'm hoping to hold on to the Protege for a while yet!

Loki is in a box. Normally, he's on me. But there is the box.
I'm pretty simple in my car wants: it runs, good gas mileage, reliable, and it doesn't annoy me. Which is why I've driven stanzas and sentras of various vintages. I know their quirks. Axles, cvs, etc, Now the used market has all these fancy pants cars, I figure when I give up on mine, I'll have a shit fit.

I've been driven in one by a crazy New Jersey driver in crazy NJ/NY traffic and it didn't feel less substantial or more small than any other normal car I am ever in.

Our wings are not tired.
Sarameg, a Honda Shit Fit perhaps?
