Meet Jezebel. Dirtbag special! Ultimate road trip machine! Includes custom bed platform and gear drawers.

 2017 Honda Fit EX-L, 22k, six-speed manual, sleeps 5’11” climber comfortably, unbelievable gas mileage.I am the only owner, bought it off the lot eight months ago with 115 miles on it. 

 Engine is top notch, as evidenced by getting 53mpg while driving moderately on the highway or even higher if you have the time to drive 50mph. 
Rear seats lie flat or unbolt to remove completely. I can fit a fat bike with both wheels on.
Has an excellent millennial anti theft device called a Manual Transmission.

 Some minimal body damage: I clipped the passenger side mirror off at low speed (car vs fence post) and cracked the right tail light. I don’t care what my vehicle looks like as long as it gets killler gas mileage, so I didn’t repair it. Blue book is at $13,000, looking to beat dealership offers of $11,000. Title in hand.  Located in Grand Junction but will deliver just about anywhere fun because I work remotely and get killer gas mileage. I really shouldn’t sell her, but a recent divorce has me selling lots of gear. Text me at 7193578755



Don’t forget to chock yer wheels on the passes, erryone!

I don't want your car, but this is classic!  I'm gonna borrow that line.

Is 53mpg a typo? EPA rated for 29 city 36 highway. Fuelly average for 1.2 million miles driven is 33.5mpg and I'd assume the majority of those user reports are automatics which get better fuel economy in the fit.

Not a typo. Look at my first photo! That was flat state highway driving at 50 to 55mph. The worst mileage she’s ever gotten was driving 85mph from GJ to Moab and that was still 37mpg.


Here’s tonight’s trip from Dgo to Montrose, up and down Coal Bank to Molas to Red Mountain passes. 
I don’t turn off the engine on the downhills or any silly hypermiling stuff like that, either. Normally I get slightly better economy on this trip, but this count includes some city errand driving in Dgo’s Charlie-foxtrot rush hour traffic.

Nope, clean as Incredible Hand Crack. PM me for the VIN if you want to check it out. I bought it new.

That’s Farmington to Dgo to GJ over three passes with errand running.


That’s just the Ridgway to GJ portion, driving 50mph. If you have the time to drive like a granny, it’s silly cheap to drive. If you don’t, it’s still silly cheap to drive. It’s a ten gallon tank and I routinely get 500 miles per fill up.

If you want to drive like an aggro gym bro, the car handles great at 80mph and still gets 37 to 40 depending on terrain.

For a grumpy old Luddite, I have a nonpareil knowledge of current memery, and yet you have flummoxed me with this Ted reference. What meanst thou?The FOMO’s are unbearable and I can feel my troll street cred decreasing every passing moment.

Wag baggery? My current favorite is the USPS Priority padded envelope mailer. Self-sealing, burly and free from USPS.com . Plus you can mail em to your enemies when yer done ... “if it fits, it shits!” Liquid, fragile, potentially hazardous? NOPE.
