Yeah, that one makes no sense to me. Who at Honda said, "we want to bring the Jazz to America, but we need a name that speaks to the American motorist." "Honda Mini-minivan?" "No, that's stupid." "Honda Personal car" *glare* "I KNOW, FIT!" "BRILLIANT!!!!"
-_-
I understand Rabbit as they wanted to have a nostalgic throw back to the 1st gen Golf they likewise named Rabbit in North America for no good reason. By the way, we get a new Golf in a few months, and it's called the Golf again.
Except that a lot of us don't like big. Also, trucks should be specific use vehicles only. Trucks as a commuter vehicle is just ridiculous, expensive, and inefficient.
I was just being silly, don't worry, I know trucks are silly for normal transportation.
Dont visit the American deep south. There are more unnecessary pick-up trucks there than anywhere I've ever been.
Fit was a reference to the low emissions, smaller size with surprising cabin space, and an appeal to a younger, more active market and the young family market. Jazz seems like an early 90s name. It doesn't seem to fit the Fit.
EDIT: I should note that Honda helps put food on my table, so if they want to call their vehicle the Neat-O, I wouldn't care so long as it sells well.

I go to school in North Carolina, and when my friends and I were going to the midnight showing of Watchmen, the truck in front of us had a mural painted on the back of the flat bed. I tend to think that most, if not all, custom paint jobs on cars look stupid, but this one takes the cake. It featured the truck that the mural was painted on driving along a seaside coast line and a giant Jesus.
Yo dawg, I heard you like trucks, so we put a truck on your truck so you can drive while you drive.
I wish I got a picture of it, but we were laughing so hard that I couldn't hold my camera still long enough.

The Jazz? You mean average emissions, average size and average cabin space Jazz? Also, how is 'Jazz' an early 90s name? It's in the same boat as 'Fit'.
I might be spending Christmas in Berlin, Germany, possibly. I'll see how I go, but even if it falls through, I won't be alone this Christmas. And that's a big enough booyah for me.
Booh yah! After the Luke Burrage wikipedia page went on a 7 day deletion notice, my brother organized a cleanup, and now it looks all notable and refereenced and everything.
Plain old Booooo! Within 5 minutes someone/something added an automatic "This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy" message. I think this has something to do with the new "any changes on living person's wikipedia page considered guilty until proven innocent" rule. But the new page looks pretty good, so I think it'll pass.
If it doesn't, my ego is going to take a serious hit.
I spoke with Emily recently about my photography class at the community college and how I finally had a reason to get a nifty cool SLR camera. Well I was gonna buy one, until an amazing discovery occurred today, thanks to yours truly
Let me preface this mini-tale by saying that, at inexplicable and random times, I get this odd feeling of nostalgia that can only be tempered by a visit to my attic which is not only full of stuff we don't need, but also stuff that are valuable. I've gone up 7 times and 5 out of those 7 times I've found the following awesome stuff: I found my mom's old clarinet that was repaired and brought back to life and was passed on to myself by my mother herself where I played it for quite some time, a photo album of my father as a child that he once thought was lost, an unexposed reel of film that contained footage of my father as a child playing with his brother which is now at my gramma's house (she had a projector), and my mother's high-school yearbook which she thought got lost when we moved to where we currently resided 12 years ago.
Now to the point; the fifth and possibly the most important object that I ever found up there (it surpasses the clarinet): a full SLR camera. From what my mother told me, she bought this camera for 250 dollars back when she was in college and it served her well. The cool thing about this (although a little inconveniencing) is that it has an attachment for to be able to use flash photography; a very large and bulky one I might add.
-stepping into Hungryjoe territory- Back in mah day, there was no flash built into our cameras, we had to buy a bulky attachment that oftentimes fell off...AND WE LIKED IT!!! The most amazing thing about the flash was that ever after 25 years of resting in the attic untouched, the battery in it still worked. I also looked up the brand online, and the exact model I own is without question the SLR camera for an amateur photographer to start off with and as such is highly praised.
Whenever I am at a con, this and my digital camera will be accompanying me. So, if you want me to, I will show you this amazing relic if you wish to see it.

I'm guessing it's a Nikon then. It's awesome that you found that, but I wouldn't go toting it everywhere unless you're doing srs bsns journalism or art shots with it. Do recall: as amazing as such a relic is, relics also have high value, and thieves like to nab them. That's how my dad's full manual Olympus SLR disappeared.

"Jazz" is a much cooler name than "Fit" anyhow.
"Honda Mini-minivan?"
"No, that's stupid."
"Honda Personal car"

"I KNOW, FIT!"

EDIT2: I would totally but a car called Neat-O.
We like to show our new car, de Lada Neat-o!

I'm holding out for a new SAAB hatchback.
EDIT: OK, yes, by European standards, it's average.
EDIT: actually, in 2007 I was somewhere off the coast of Antarctica.
