Honda Fits
I guess you could say my husband had a “Honda fit” this week. He’s been hinting about wanting a new car for a while now, and over the weekend we just “happened” to go past a Honda dealership where there sat a whole row of “Easter Egg” colored Fits. He drove one ”just to see what it felt like”~ right ~ and I was born yesterday. To make it a short story, the deal was done and yesterday we went to get our new “Fit”. Actually it fits pretty well, and it’s cute ~ although I would have picked the red one instead of the baby blue one.
While waiting for the paperwork to be done (takes longer than buying a house) we were given a run-down on all the gizmos and gadgets and what-not that the car possesses. After the first 10 minutes, my eyes began to glaze over, and I lost all interest in the salesman’s speech. As long as the thing has a key in it and four wheels on the ground, that’s all I care about. I do not know (nor care to know) about the finer points of anti-lock brakes, air bag design, and quad speakers. If it starts, stops and runs in between, that’s good enough for me.
So, we are now the proud owners of a 2009 Honda Fit. It’s cute and economical, and everyone should buy one. (Keep my husband in a job, and those paychecks coming.) Yes, he works for Honda, so we thought it would be helpful to drive one. That’s the way I explained it to the Toyota Scion that we were leaving behind in the parking lot of the dealership. I patted her on the hood and told her to be a good girl for the next people who drive her.
I could have sworn she waved her windshield wipers as we drove away into the sunset!
