Youve had a rough day at work. Youre beat, all you want to do is go home and chill. You get to your car--only to see one of those horrible orange devices clamped to your rear wheel. Youre horrified! Whats this? Then you read the ticket neatly tucked under your windshield wiper. Your registration is incorrect and its going to cost you $1,000 to get that boot off your wheel in addition to your time to fix the registration problem. Registration incorrect? What? How? $1,000? No way. Youre now in full crisis, angry, upset, emotionally flailing--drama!

Or, youve had a rough day at work. Youre beat, all you want to do is go home and chill. You get home just fine--early actually; Your supervisor and the traffic were apparently all on your side. You open the door, Hi, Honey Im and before you get the words out, you realize that Honey isnt alone. Honey is straddling someone on the living room couch, and what Honey is performing definitely isnt CPR. Although thats what youll need soon you figure, as you clutch your chest, certain youre having a heart attack. Youre in full crisis, angry, upset, emotionally flailing--drama!

And with good reason. After all, whether youre facing a $1,000 fine or a cheating spouse, theres hurt aplenty, and drama seems fully justified. And indeed, a certain amount of flailing, hysterics or anger is perfectly normal and healthy--feelings should be expressed (safely and appropriately). Its when we keep riding on those feelings, when we nurture and grow them, that we create drama and make the situation much worse than it needs to be.

You see, $1,000 to scrape together when you dont have it, a cheating spouse where you always assumed fidelity are bad enough. But when you allow yourself to plunge into an emotional frenzy over it, you hurt yourself even worse. Youre less able to think straight, you dont have the creative wherewithal to figure out how to get the money, what the best course of action is with your spouse. High drama of the negative sort decreases the blood flow to certain critical parts of your brain making it oh-so-difficult for you to resolve whatever the crisis is in the best way possible.

So, damp down the drama. Feel your shock, your anger, your upset, and as soon as you can, let it go in the service of your greater good. Take a walk, breathe deeply-- physical activity often helps reset your emotional self so you can start using all your brain again. This will take a certain amount of self-discipline for its extremely tempting to stay in that mode of poor me, woe is me. Its how we attempt to soften the blow, lick the wound as we tell the story over and over again, engaging others to commiserate with us in our distress.

Unfortunately, licking a wound over and over again prevents it from healing. And thats what you do when you keep the drama going. You dont resolve the crisis, and since like tends to attract like, the drama is self-perpetuating. You cant get it together to pay the registration fine so you end up losing the car. You leave your spouse impulsively-- now the kids are caught in the middle of an unnecessarily bitter and acrimonious custody battle.

Drama. Great on stage, fantastic on film, wretched in real life. Best to give it up in the interests of enjoying a happy and fulfilling life.

Just when it seemed like Honda couldn't possibly discover another market segment for its vehicles, it introduced the 2007 Fit. A four-door subcompact, the Fit combines a wondrously efficient use of space with snappy versatility and economy.

The Fit joins the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Insight, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline and S2000 as the 10th vehicle in the Honda line that debuted in the United States in 1973.

The Fit, known at the Jazz, has been sold in Asia since 2001 and in Europe since 2002 as a way to combat the parking dilemma prevalent in most international metropolitan cities. To further help curtail the problem, the two-seat Smart, the microcar DaimlerChrysler offering, has found increasing success overseas.

While not as small, The Fit, like the Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris, have arrived a year in advance of the Smart's expected 2008 U.S. arrival. And with the Fit, at least in my weekly test of the Sport model, there's no sense of driving a novelty.

Consider: While the Fit is nearly 20 inches shorter than the Civic, it has nearly the same interior space as the Accord. Of course, there are differences between the Fit and other Honda sedans. But as Honda's smallest vehicle, the Fit has a long list of standard features and unique offerings. It's particularly impressive considering that with every available option included the Fit costs less than $16,000.

In addition to the Sport model, the Fit is offered in a base model. Both styles include 1.5-liter, 16-valve, 109-horsepower, 4-cylinder engines. The base editions include 14-inch wheels, electric-assist power steering, two-speed front wipers and a rear wiper, air conditioning, power windows and locks and an AM/FM radio with CD player.

The Sport model features 15-inch alloy wheels with wider tires, additional body styling, keyless entry, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an upgraded MP3-compatible audio system with an auxiliary jack.

The Fit's interior is efficiency defined. The five-speed manual shifter is nicely positioned and controls and dials are handsome, if simple, logically configured and offer nice ease-of-use characteristics. The Fit has two front seat cupholders and individual door-panel rear seat cupholders. The 60-40 split rear seat features multiple configurations, including one position which configures either side or both bottom seat sections flush against the seat back seats. The result: a cavernous cargo area. Honda calls the feature a "Magic Seat." The Fit also has a spacious trunk with a wide, level and easy access entry.

As a subcompact, there are a few shortcomings. The front-passenger visor does not have a mirror and there's a conspicuous absence of front-seat console storage compartment. The carpet, side-paneling and console material isn't as nice as the Accord or Civic, but it's far from cheap.

But the best part of the Fit is its surprisingly nice drive. With its 109-horsepower engine, the car isn't about to establish any speed records. Yet, since it's lightweight and efficiently constructed, the Fit moves around pretty nicely, with 0-60 mph in less than 10 seconds. Cornering and maneuvering is confident and at all speeds, the vehicle is far from noisy.

There's just not much to criticize about the Fit. Honda has a longstanding, stellar reputation throughout its line. And as the newcomer, the Fit fits in admirably with its brethren.
