I'm really enjoying it so far. Not a lot of mileage yet - Thursdays are booked for me, so I only got 60 miles done towards the break-in. I was going to take the Fit to Chicago this weekend, but I've decided to take the Accord - no big trips until I get some wax on her...

They would ride a little rough, though.

Jonas besides wax, you should put a clear bra on her!

Congratulations! It's been quite a long wait. You are a very patient man.

Give us your impressions after you get a few more ticks on the clock.

Claybar and Zaino are scheduled for Friday, while the weather is still nice.

I haven't even hit 500 miles yet, because I haven't driven her in 2 days. Yesterday I took the S in for the pre-winter fluid change (engine oil, tranny & diff), and they also needed to replace the fuel filler neck (cap getting loose all by itself), so I had to leave it overnight to wait for the part. So, 2 days of S2000 or rental, so I haven't even gotten through break-in yet!

Overall, my only complaint is a somewhat limited driving position. Either the pedals are a little too close, or the wheel is a little too far away. Sitiing pretty upright solves that, but I prefer a more laid-back position. I like pretty much everything else about it. I already brought home a couple 8 foot 2x4s without them sticking out anywhere.

I can't wait until I can really rev her - in standard Honda fashion, the engine comes to life in the midrange. I can just feel the VTEC come on, but I have to shift. Well, it won't be long now......
