Skunk2ner's ride, Costa Mesa, CA
I sold my '05 EP3 Civic to save money, but through a series of events, I wound up deciding to buy a brand new 2008 Nighthawk Black Pearl Fit, base model with a 5-speed manual. The cheapest model... but also the lightest weight model. 
I have big plans for my new car. Stay tuned for big updates.

I would have kept the Ep3. The fit is a nice compact car, but why the fit?? Also how are you saving by buying a new car??

Why would you swap k immediately into a brand new, warrantied car??? hmmm... Im kind of interested as to what these plans are, but not very.
Re: Skunk2ner's ride, Costa Mesa, CA
eh..the Fit. My friend from school bought one when they first came out. Base model as well. Yes lightweight but the motor in there is clunky. Slow and suffocating. It also doesnt look that great. Well.. it can.

Plus the base model has 14" rims stock. Which means lighter weight options for autocross in the stock class. I won't be running 14's on the street for daily driving though.

I really want a Fit too. Why didn't you get the Sport?

That $1350 I saved is going towards aftermarket parts.
Re: Skunk2ner's ride, Costa Mesa, CA
well congrats on the color, but im not really feeling the fit, also all of this weight reduction talk, almost seems like your just trying to justify in your head as to why you got a completely basic model new car IMO screw weight reduction, i like to have my cruise control and other lil options. But its just my opinion :P, congrats though if you like it, thats really what matters.

you guys are free to your opinions and assumptions, but i'm happy with my new car and it will be even better once i get some mods going.
thanks to those of you who offered your congrats.
