[QUOTE=Popeye,Mar 16 2010, 08:03 PM] Maybe I'll just get an 00 AP1 and turn it into a ratrod ......something Strangedaze would be proud of

Sebring silver.....never wash it ......so much brake dust on the wheels you swear they were bronze......maybe run snowtires all year long

^ Now you're talking!

However, I LOVE my Fit Sport - I'm getting 37 MPG with the 5MT over the first 10k miles, and I fit 9 intact dead hookers in with the rear seats down. Could have fit a 10th with a little grease, no problem. It also happens to be pretty darned fun to drive.

I did a google search and there is no S2000 ratrod so I'm going to search for a under 6k S2000 that is driveable

37 MPG is great. We don't regularly get quite that high with Melissa's Fit, though that's probably because she lets me do most of the driving!

I saw a CRZ in Japan yesterday. They had it on show during lunch to look at. I love the exterior styling (here's hoping the US front end doesn't ruined it), but I don't really see a point to it in the US. It's like a 2 seat Fit Hybrid with only 5 extra HP, and 4-5 extra MPG for a ton more money.

I hate saying this, but for me the Fit or Insight would be a better choice. With the Insight, you could bolt on a suspension, maybe a mod or two for power, and be a CRZ with seating for 5, and some versatility for around the same price.

Maybe if this thing had the Si motor in it, but that would be a different discussion.

That's probably because I use it mainly as a commuter car, and set the cruise on 4-over on my 38-mile commute. One stop light between me and work. And probably because I run mid-grade gas with no "winter formulation". And mebbe a little bit because I changed to syn oil, but I only did that at 10k. ....

I do almost no stop and go driving in the thing.

When I do a fun trip in it (took it to the Dragon last fall for example) and beat on it a little, it's more like 33mpg.... But according to Gas Hog, I am right at 37 mpg since I picked up the car with 3 miles on the clock.

No hybrid for me.
