My FIT Arrives! Too late.

The finale to my attempt to buy an orange Fit. I stopped at the dealer
yesterday to order a gasket for my 91 Accord's rear tail light. As I
biked by the showroom, I glance inside and see an orange Fit. Just the
one I wanted.

Unfortunately I needed it three months ago. Since that time I've put
around $1500 into my Accord and it's too late to do the deal. I guess
it wasn't meant to be, at least this year. As I walked in, the manager
saw me and came over, pointed to the Fit, and asked if I wanted to
take it home. Damn, but I thought about it. But didn't, the Accord is
doing just fine, and with the mileage I put on it (6000 a year or so)
it's likely to keep doing fine for a while.

I got a chuckle out of it though.

 

What did the manager say when you told him it was too little, FAR too late?

 

He just said that he was sorry he couldn't get it sooner.

 

Oh... the emotion... I'm gettin' misty.
