OFFICIAL CALIFORNIA YARIS SIGHTINGS THREAD

Moon caps in Pomona!

The front bumper and hood were matte black. Very panda :biggrin:

I keep thinking of buying 14" moon caps for my winter setup. So cool.

Why not get some funky styling out of the winter setup, right?

Somebody stop me!

This little beaut was parked out in front of what used to be a Hobby Lobby, right off Katella and Tustin in Orange CA.

Nice! I think this might be the first time someone directly related to my spotting noticed it.

Looks like this was your first post - welcome! Would enjoy some pics of your 3-door...

...chrome "Yaris" license plate frames!

Saw this bad boy on the way home from taking my better half's Accord for a smog check.

Had an... interesting... exchange with the owner of this SE yesterday evening. Was on my way home from a friends house in Westminster when I spotted it cruising up Brookhurst. Custom plate, super dark tint and being an SE had me trying to catch up to it for a closer look. The flow of traffic allowed me to do so, but when we both found ourselves side by side at the next red light, the driver didn't seem interested in looking over and exchanging smiles for Yaris love. Instead, they stopped short, just behind my view, so I shrugged it off and continued north on Brookhurst. Windows were too dark to tell if it was a male or female driving.

From a few blocks North of Bolsa until the 22 fwy, the SE kept lagging behind me, then speeding up and getting in front of me. I found it a little odd, but again, was over it by that point and continued on. At the red light to turn left onto the 22 East, we once again found ourselves at the front of the line and next to each other. Once again, the SE stopped short of my passenger window view. The light went green and we both started the left onto the 22 fwy ramp. If you're from SoCal, you're probably familiar with how the 22 East on-ramp going North on Brookhurst makes a nice, long 180 degree turn onto the fwy. Being that I was in the left lane, I was on the outside lane. After the gutter dip and as we started onto the 180 degree on-ramp, the SE accelerated aggressively and was obviously trying to take me from the inside lane. Being that it appeared to be on factory suspension, I couldn't resist the bait and obliged the challenge. I was able to pull past him/her from the outside lane and got on the fwy ahead of them. We both merged onto the fwy (me a little more sketchy than them as I had someone in my blind spot that I had to stop my lane change for) and continued on.

At that point, I decided to keep it chill and cruise in the second to slow lane since my next merge was going to happen from that lane (57 North). The SE, for whatever reason, decided to stay right behind me in the same lane. It followed me for several exits and then got off on Bristol, or an exit or two before, I can't recall. As I say, the entire episode was...interesting.

On a related note, anyone know what ABCLAG means?

I didn't know that. You're probably right.

I guess you could say that he "bluffed" and you "raised" him... :bellyroll:

Spotted this crispy SE over the weekend at what used to be called The Orange Mall, now called The Village something or other, while picking up part of my better half's birthday gift. Aside from it being a Yaris, its cleanliness and overall great shape caught my eye.

Yes, unfortunately, it was an auto :rolleyes:

[hairygityeti]

I have seen your Yaris TWICE in Cerritos already, which is where I live.
Once at Heritage Park and today I saw you on Bloomfield and Artesia. You were on Bloomfield in the left turn lane onto Artesia. You were in a red 07 or 08 liftback w/body kit; I couldn't get a good look. I'm dying to know who you are because although I see a couple Yarii out there, I hardly ever see any modded ones, and apparently there's one in my small city :biggrin: I was 3 cars behind you and one lane to the right. Blue 09 liftback with yellow fogs on during the daytime.

Here in the UK you can only use your fog lights when visibility is less then100 meters ( 328 feet ) otherwise its a fine ( ￡2000 max ) DVLA rule 236 highway code
Do you have similar rules or codes?

[Daphob]

Does anybody here know of anyone selling 16x7 Buddy Clubs????

[Ma71-51o]

Blue 3dr HB with JDM tails and foglights in the grill. Saw him on the freeway in Union City/Fremont. Anyone on here?

Looks like they just had a new rear windshield installed.

Well it's been a long time seen around here (Took me a a million times to remember my password :redface:), but apparently I was spotted in the real world.

Found a note from YAR1S on my car yesterday while I was out at dinner! :biggrin:

[YAR1S]

Hey there! Haha crazy small world and I actually remember your username on here! I also live in Sunnyvale for the time being for work! Brought my Yaris all the way out here from North Carolina!

[WeeYari]

Well it's been a long time

Your car is still the go to reference for the look that can be achieved with trim rings and center caps. Welcome back.

Did you drive it all the way here? That's quite the road trip if so in a Yaris! :eyebulge:

Well, hope you're enjoying the area!

:burnrubber: I've done it twice, two road trips from CA to NC and then NC back to CA. Yaris handled just fine. Its showing its age these days but I'm abou 5k shy of 200k miles anniversary now. :wub:

You should check out justanotherdrunk's road trip posts. His Yaris isn't as old, but he's literally made a dozen trips with it out to the middle of nowhere.

Here's (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60493) his most recent.

[ern-diz]

While going to a pet store and a Harbor Freight in the same strip near my home, I've spotted this sad state of affairs a few times. Snapped a pic over the weekend.

Spotted last week on the 57 south...

[YarMatey]

I’m not from Cali but I have come across two pictures of this Yaris on the internet but have been able to find ZERO information on it. Very curious to know what kind of setup he is running. Anybody in Cali seen it? If so, invite him to this forum please!!

[ern-diz]

Wow, there are several folks on this forum that would get a real kick out of that Yaris. I'm from southern California and can say I have never had the pleasure of coming across that bestia.

[YarMatey]

Yeah I’ve posted it in the Canadian commuter forum as he’s lifting his Yaris too but aside from trimmed fenders, and I’m guessing stiffer/longer springs, I’m clueless. Would definitely be nice for the Canadian winters here aha.
