I like the way the Honda Fit makes the most of its small size with plenty of little storage areas. The door pockets and dash mounted cupholder are just two example. Plus, if you have a water bottle in front of those vents, it might work like Dodge's "Chill Zone."
Also, we picked up a nail in one of the tires. The Bridgestone Turanza 185/55R16 tire cost us $134.95 plus installation.

Damn that sucks for such a young car to lose a tire. So sorry for the loss. I hope he feels better soon and goes weeeeee!

Based on my experiences with Honda's A/C I doubt it would be a very effective "Chill Zone" Maybe a "Slightly Cool Zone".

I wonder if you can stick a glass bottle in front of the vent and have it whistle.

The tire size on the '09 Fit Sports is pretty unique, and it's kind of a pain because the only tires you can find anywhere in that size are the OEM Bridgestones and Dunlops, and they can be tough to track down. I hope that by the time mine needs new tires there are a few more choices out there.
Or maybe it's worth it to move up to a 205-50/16 tire instead (virtually same diameter, probably slightly better handling, slightly worse mileage).

I think the 205s would give the car a slightly cooler look too - even with the standard wheels.

You guys really like spending money at stokes tire, great service or not they're taking Edmunds to the bank.
