Is the gas mileage affected by how much you have been flooring it? Im assuming it would return something closer to normal at crusing speeds if you can keep it at that
Probably, but do you think if had a Ferrari, he'd drive it 10 mph all the time?

You can just specify how much time to allow for checking over. They actually offer a "used car evaluation" which is 2 hours but I'm sure your car as new as it is and you've had since new doesn't need that much... you could allow them 1/2 or 1 hour of time (I think they are up to $85/hour now) to go thru and look at belts, hoses, suspension, etc etc.

Used the Fit for cat carrying for the first time today My kitty apparently has a weak stomach - takes after her mommy - and also has a problem with hair balls - but does NOT take after mommy on that problem

Awesome! I can picture the big grin on my your face
Tom makes fun of my grin every time I drive my car

Why we did not buy an iPad
What good is a "computer" that depends on another computer to work?!

Speaking of Formula H and good techs... and people who know how nuts I am

I opened my glove box in the Fit to add in the info about my maintenance to my "car book"...

I see a kinda greasy blue 8x11 paper folded up in there and I 1st thought was - dam Tom, he's leaving shit in my car

But I decided to look before recycling it... and low and behold, it's a document about my car from when it was ordered from Honda. The "title" at the top of the page says:

Vehicle Inventory and Processing System, Work Order, dated Feb 25, 2008 and looks like an inquiry as to "where is this car"? Shows the VIN, that it was shipped to Ridge Height NJ, dealer #, how shipped, color, load etc.

Kinda cool to have, most original owners would probably not even have this, looks like something that slipped into a hard to see place in the car either in shipment or unloading at the dealer. I have to ask Vinny where he found it! And thank him for knowing I would want to keep it
