    No license, no registration, no insurance. There's no chance she drives the fucking car away from that, especially if a cop was on scene. Care to explain?

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  2 года назад +22

      To prevent any hearsay, you can here the cop on scene explain it.
      Here is the link to the accident video ruclips.net/video/gYsBSl5w7z0/видео.html

      @@HondaFit4Adventure Damn. I live in Colorado. I'm shook, and I'm mad, and this didn't even happen to me. Theoretically, shouldn't the cop pull her over immediately once she starts driving again? She is committing multiple crimes again, right in front of him

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  2 года назад +47

      ​@@IlIIlllIIIIIIl The officer gave her 30-40 minutes to provide any and I mean any information at all. (Call home, have someone bring your license or insurance)
      Once this time passed and she still had nothing to provide the officer, she should have immediately been arrested and possibly have the car impounded. (At least in Chicago)
      Is she really who she says she was? Did she even own the vehicle? or was it stolen?
      You would assume once she started to drive again you could write her another ticket for driving with no license and insurance. Apparently not because "we just issued her one for that"
      I still have the original files and some IG stories saved from that incident. If that video starts to get views I'll most likely post another video from that incident with more and uncut footage from that day.
      Colorado is such a beautiful state but this experience has ruined it for me. Thankfully my car wasn't totaled.
      If you can, Like & Share that video. That's the one that really needs to be seen.
      I occasionally will paste it in a "Come Visit Colorado" ad, where no else believes what they saw either.

    As someone who has owned a 2008 Fit Sport 5-speed for right at 10 years now, 170K miles on it, this brings such a big smile to me. My Fit feels like an old friend at this point. Although I haven't built it out mine like you have, I do run extra wide Yakima rack/bars with a topbox and routinely carry a canoe ontop. I also have a rear hitch with bike rack that gets used weekly. My Fit and I have been on countless number of adventures. After all these years, I still love driving my it each and every time I turn the key :-) They are remarkable cars! Great job man and happy travels and adventures to you!

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  2 года назад +3

      Thank you Scott. I had a 50cc Honda Ruckus Scooter that I drove across the Midwest and took adventures on back when I was younger.
      I had over 30k miles on that little thing before I retired and sold it.
      Although it didn't run the greatest anymore, part me wishes that I kept it.

      I am still driving my 2007; the 1st model imported to USA
      Cheapest, most cubic ft of cargo space, best gas mileage (Honda wasn’t offering the Insight), most headroom of any Honda model
      Honda did bring back the Insight in 2009, sadly designed only for short people

    • @djkenny1202
      @djkenny1202 Год назад

      The Fit needs to come back. The Civic is far from entry level, is too large, and hardly as versatile. I akk on ways wished they offered a stripped model without power options like Honda use to on many cars. I picked up a 2015 Scion XB, similar versatility and I dig it. I remember Black Friday in 2017 the dealer had a new Fit Sport for 17k.

    • @CroakerOutdoors
      @CroakerOutdoors Год назад +2

      Man, I had a off the lot new '09 EX 5spd with Nav which I believe was the last year to offer the highest trim with MT. So much fun to drive and extremely versatile. Sadly, it was totalled when an older lady ran a stop sign and we collided. Can't believe Honda canned it when it was such a better value than the civic.

      The roof rack setup is gone and everything is being integrated to inside of the car.
      This gave the car a stealthier look and helped improve the fuel economy.
      I possibly might even have more room inside?

    Very good build 👍🏻
    Factory induction unit will always give the best fuel economy also I’d recommend thinner 195/55/16 tyres for the mpg.
    The place on the dash you want to install the radio unit has a passenger side airbag unit inside

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  2 года назад +10

      Thanks Bob.
      I'm sure the roof rack is the biggest culprit in my loss of MPG, thankfully it's just on the tollway.
      It's worth it, with the money I save on hotels :)
      Bob, to the best of my knowledge the passenger side airbag deploys out of the upper portion of the dashboard and wraps around the rest. I could be wrong. I'll do some more research on this.

    I have a 4 day a week 80+ mile round trip commute for work. My 2016 Fit now has 218,000 miles on it and has been essentially trouble free. Fortunately, most of those miles are easy highway miles. When I purchased it, the dealer was offering free oil changes for the life of the car. That has been sweet. I love the Fit, am sorry it has been discontinued. I would love to be putting miles on it your way. But you have inspired me to rig it up for some weekend camping.

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  2 года назад +4

      Wow, I only know of a few 3rd gen Honda Fit owners that are over 200k.
      My FIT has also been pretty much maintenance free. I only had to change fluids and tires up until 80k miles.
      At 80k I replaced the rear shocks, battery, belt, spark plugs and brakes. I'd still consider that general maintenance.
      The oddball out was replacing the upper engine mount. I've read that the lower mount is one that is known to break over time. I wonder if it broke when I got rear-ended.
      My previous car was at 230k miles before I retired it. I would like to at least beat that mileage in this car.

    Man, I miss my silver '09 Honda Fit Sport 5spd w/Nav. She was pretty rare setup and I believe it was the last year to have an EX w/Nav and a MT. So much fun and extremely versatile, it's really disappointing Honda dropped it. I pumped up an air mattress once for a laugh in the back before later I got into camping. Would I still have it, perhaps I would be car camping around the US. Four years later in 2013 a lady ran a stop sign and the Fit t-boned her minivan totalling the car. Really enjoyed your vid and it took me back for a moment =)

      In this video I drive over a 4x4 and flex one wheel up on a ramp and filmed everything in various positions to see if the rub or not.
      They do not rub 95% of the time. On the rare occasion it does rub, it just hits the plastic fender liner and has not left any marks on the tire.

    Dude, just got recommended your video in my feed, and mad respect!! With two young kids, this would never work for me (unless the wife kicks me out of the house! Again.), but definitely love your setup!! Maybe I missed it but with all that added weight, have you needed to update the suspension to cope? Anyway, if you don’t see this, safe travels and enjoy it while you can. Life is so very short!

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  Год назад +2

      You could trick out a Honda Odyssey ;)
      The suspension is still stock.
      I did make a video covering all of the weight I added and removed from the car. I was still under the max load capacity but pushed it pretty close with adding the kayak to the mix.
      I've since incorporated everything from the roof rack to the INSIDE of the car somehow, and drilled out 2.75" holes into my bedframe for some additional weight reduction.
      Exactly! I could've waited around until I could afford a cargo van or I can make it work with what I have now.
      Why spend the extra money!

    • @HondaFit4Adventure
      @HondaFit4Adventure  2 года назад +3

      I had to google MK2 Jazz. I was unfamiliar with the MK2.
      This car has been a champ. I drove almost nonstop from New York to California. 4844km for 40+ hours.
      I say almost because the battery died in the middle of that trip. It was over 7 years old though.
      I've only had to do fluid changes up to about 130,000km. Last year I also replaced the rear shocks, belt, spark-plugs and an engine mount.
      I'd say the maintenance overall has been a minimum. I believe my PCV actuator needs to be replaced now 15,000km. I heard that can be a little pricey, but cheaper then buying a new car.

And here in the UK its something like 40% of that price is tax which goes straight to the government. It's tough for a lot of people in haulage etc
