After owing and driving a 1970 N600 Honda for twenty years, I succumbed to the Fit out of pure nostalgia. I have a base vivid blue FIT with16" wheels. Looking back, the N600 was a sassy 2 cylinder, 33 HP, motorcycle type trannie take off on the Mini. I added a high speed cam, Japanese imported telephone rear view mirrors mounted on the leading edge of the fenders and I was up and running full power to 77 mph! All for $2000. I recall parking the car at the busy supermarket by driving into the stalls reserved for shopping carts. A notable feature of the N600 was it's determination to run despite major calamities. I hope the fit does as well.

 

I like your story, it's put together well, makes me feel like your a writer on the cuff...
