I call “Nerd Bait”!

Oops.

The only solace to “poor” Honda is that the new Fit will command MSRP (and dealer markups) for quite a while due to demand; kind of the opposite of a “fire sale”.

I watched the original Star Trek on a 19″ B&W TV in 1966, the reruns on a 25″ color set in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s and have seen a few episodes on my 32″ LCD on the 00’s.
I’m not sure what that says about me…

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, I’m going back out to the garage.

I thought it was because the Fit looks like a Trek shuttlecraft.

Here is my nerd card. No, please, take it from me.

I’m offended, Justin. Let me try to regain some credibility with a worthwhile comment.

It’s refreshing to see that even Honda has trouble making a profit on small cars. Refreshing, because as a fan of Detroit who is sick of corporate opinions driving decisions instead of facts, it means that Detroit’s concerns about profiting on small cars are (at least partially) well founded. Hopefully they’ll see this as an opportunity to reduce weight, commonize components, etc.

Kirk was the only one who passed the “Kobayashi Moru” test. Hence, the pic of him in this article. I win.

And I’m a huge dork for knowing that.

The picture/subject connection is a gimme.
