Do you like making your own clothing using only yarn spun from responsibly sourced sheep's wool? How about ironic mustaches—you a fan? If you like to brew your own kombucha—or you even know what kombucha is in the first place—Honda has the car for you: The 2015 Fit. Well, actually, it's the 2015 Fit Kit, and it's designed for young people from Portland to Austin with a penchant for crafting things.
That's because unlike a regular 2015 Fit, which Honda will happily assemble for you in its new Mexican production facility, the build-it-yourself Fit Kit is for those among us who want "a deeper relationship with the goods they use." Just 200,000 individual parts separate the hardy among us from a brand new Fit, and Honda says the kit will be sold for much, much less than the fully assembled version.

In a video released by Honda, which you can watch below, a Gen Y couple eagerly takes delivery of their new Fit Kit—which arrives via drone—in their hip apartment. Over several minutes, the couple insists that society's view of young people as useless touch-screen thumb twiddlers is misguided, and that Millennials just dig building things themselves. You shouldn't be daunted, however, by the hipsters' meager progress on the Fit—they manage only to install the headrests on the front seats—because everyone knows young people are neither useless nor capable of building a car in three minutes.
