Back in the Integra after a month with a Honda Fit

ACL reconstruction surgery in left knee prohibited me from having a stick shift car for a while so I rented a 2010 Honda Fit for a month. Kind of a girly car, but it grew on me after a while. Comfy seats, but not really enough leg room for a 6 foot guy with long legs. Having a working A/C was awesome. I thought the acceleration was pretty good for a little 4-cyl with auto transmission. The stereo system was okay.

The Fit is back at the dealer now. Had a hell of a time getting the Integra started after sitting for a month. It kept cranking and cranking when I tried starting it. The starter sounded so strange. Finally it started after I pumped the gas pedal furiously. I think the entire fuel system lost pressure from sitting for a month and all the gasoline drained away.

Word to the wise: don’t rupture your ACL by wiping out while downhill skiing. Surgery and the recovery is really unpleasant.

Damn dude… breaking anything in your body sucks ass. Glad to hear you’re back in the DA.

Renting a FIT is waay better than renting a piece of shit Chevy Cobalt… now THAT’S a whole new kind of turd!
