I took these on my way to a portrait session at a client's house. I found this gravel road and backed my car up to get a few shots. It was cold and rainy, so I emphasized that in the edit a bit. A little darker and moodier than my normal stuff. No CPL with me obviously....

Unseen in the hatch are two light stands, sand bags, two bags of equipment. This car can hold 4-5 adults with legroom for everyone, gets about 30mpg when railed on, very lightweight (by today's standards) at 2500 lbs. It handles very well - kind of like a 4 door Japanese Mini Cooper. My car is about the OEM+ life with subtle mods made all around the car (exterior, interior, brakes, suspension, stereo have all had upgrades, engine mods are limited to just a sportier exhaust).

Nice photos! I really like the Fit, I might end up getting one to pair up with my s2000.

Thank you sir! I always enjoy your S2000 photos. I have always wanted an S2000, but I'm too tall (6'4") to own one. I drove a buddy's and I couldn't fit with the roof up and barely could get my feet off the pedals. But if I were a few inches shorter, I would have had one by now.

I really love my car even tho it isn't perfect. I think it's a pretty ideal commuter car and it's fun to run errands in. Steering is very tight and lively, the engine is small and looks pretty lame on paper, but it feels faster from the drivers seat. I've driven quite a few cars that are much faster, better looking, etc, but I think this car is a rare mix of cheap fun and practicality. Most cars now push you to crazy illegal speeds to get the thrill of performance or even a sensation of speed, but this car feels fun/quick everywhere. At the end of the day, I always look forward to driving it.

You should cage it and put a supercharger on it with a quaife differential. Makes the little hamster so much more fun!

Yeah, that would be killer. I really do want to cage it, K20 swap it with the DC5 Type R drivetrain (6 speed and LSD) and run more aggressive wheels, tires, suspension. The next mod is a Wilwood 4 piston setup up front, will probably do that this spring. It's a really fun car as is tho. Handles great and it's a blast to drive even tho it is low on power.

That's what fun about most Honda's. Not the fastest straight line, but can be a blast in the corners. Loved my s2000's, my TSX(old 04 and new 12) both handle pretty well

I bought this thing in college, 6 years ago. It has 190k on it, and hasn't been maintained.....AT ALL. Lol, I'm currently looking for something interesting to replace it.

You can't beat a Honda though. Not my first, nor will it be my last.

190K and never a single oil change.....sheesh! It's a wonder it is still running.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

I've changed the oil 4-5 times in the last 6 years. I did walk everywhere when I was in college though, lmao.

This could go in the 'tongues are out' section!

My dad had one of these back in the '60s. We kids (4 of us) used to love riding in the 'very back'. :)


Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

First time I took my youngest son for a drive, he asked to ride in the 'very back'.
