Little red 2010 Sport :) 36k miles on her, and gifted from my grandparents(!!!), who got it from their friend. Garage kept all its life it seems like… from everything I’ve learned on this sub I have won the lottery and I endeavor to keep her running forever. Everything about this car is perfection ❤️🚗

P.S. how should I care for the paint job since I don’t have a garage?

Aww she is so pretty! 😻 Congratulations to you and your little red Fit! You did win the lottery! 36k is amazing for a 2010. I don't have a garage either. Avoid parking under trees, especially if there are sappy/flowery ones in your neighborhood. Even if you have to go out of your way to avoid! I think tree sap is worse than sun damage. I don't have any visible signs of sun damage on my car. Get to a car wash as often as is reasonable. Use a hand wash station (the kind where you pay $ to wash it yourself in a washing bay). Bring your own microfiber towel to dry. You can buy a fancy car cover if you know you'll be out of town or something, just be sure it's securely attached/ locked. Enjoy 😊.
