Welp, going to go drive a '10 Crystal Black Pearl Fit Sport and a '10 Storm Silver Fit Sport this afternoon

Silver: 18k but an auto

Black: 17k with manual ftw.

Supposed to be 0.9% for 36 months and 1.9% for 60 months, but they're hooking us up with .9 for 60, and may knock some off the sticker due to our recent honda purchases from them.

This will be my first time driving a manual fit, hope it doesn't suck.

I need to stop drinking... i drink and then the guilt comes and destroys me. the Guilt, the embarassement and the insecurity. I really need to find something better to do on the weekends in the evening. But i like the social aspect of it.

I also wish i knew how to develop iphone applications...

1-2 upshifts are a pain. i'm not a noob manual driver by any means but for some reason that shift is nearly impossible to do seamlessly. maybe 1 out of 5 times will be the way i want it, and it's always under different conditions. hope that made sense

but everything else is butter

cause i dont remember much of it the next day, the cost, the fact that i'm not being productive in any way, the fact that i probably ridulize myself, the waist of time and mostly because i drink because it just "feels good". when you start thinking of that the same night or the next day it's depressing and i feel like and dumbass and so embarassed!

Well shit.

I'm looking forward to it being a bit rough and sticky being a new tranny.

I've read that it's seamless though. Sure hope I don't run into upshift troubles though.

They're askingn $17,106 for it, that seem about right? '10 Crystal black manual

yeah, not sure why i have these random hiccups shifting from 1st to 2nd. but like i said shifting through the other gears is as smooth as can be

you did say it was a Sport model, right? is this brand new? if so the price sounds great.

Yep, it's a sport. Price seems about right to me too. Not sure what options are on it, but I'm assuming pretty bone stock ... and I'm fine with that.

It's funny though, because they were trying to sell me a used '08 for 15k+, now they're throwing me a bone with a '10 for 17.

Leaving to drive them in about 2 hours.

Working 0400-1300 this week. Coming home mid-day and dozing off sucks. Good morning at work today though.
