Any DFW Yaris drivers?

[machine1]

Got mine a couple of weeks ago. Seen a 4 Door a couple of days ago, I haven't spotted another Liftback since.

[wwwh355]

So far

I saw 4 new yaris.
All sedans
3 are UTD student.:wink:

[tekmoe]

uh oh, yaris' are popping up all over the place...!

machine1, i just bought your twin. :tongue:

[machine1]

Yay!!!

Tekmoe, At least they didn't drill holes into your front bumper for the license plate.

[tekmoe]

awww d00d, that sucks!$@ i would have went apeshit and declined the car if they did that to me. i made it clear i wanted my car exactly how it comes from the gulf. if it was altered in any way i was not going to pay for it. they did me right. :smile:

which dealership?

i sure as hell don't want holes in my bumper :mad:

[machine1]

I got mine from Toyota of Lewisville. It was in the showroom hallway, and the front license plate was already on it.
When I put my new plates on I noticed, 1. There's no front license plate bracket, the holes are drilled right into the bumper, and 2. The rear license plate mount holes are also drilled right into the bumper, most cars have fine thread machine screws holding the rear license plate on, not coarse thread screws like the Yaris. It would suck if those screw holes were stripped out.
But those are minor things, overall I love the Yaris.

White LB here. Love it!

[yarita]

Just bought mine yesterday!!!
Gray, hatchback

[taosit]

Dec. 1 we got our '07 sedan, flint mica. Now we are looking at adding a liftback Yaris to the stable. This one would be mine since my wife has made a firm claim to the sedan. Just driving around Denton today I saw four other Yarii, a record sighting. Two of them live within 3/4 mile of our house.

[dansides]

picked up my 2007 three door bayou blue 12-31-06 order ralley spoiler from canda 2day:eyebulge:

[tekmoe]

saw a dark grey hatch the other day in las colinas. a young girl was driving it.

[yarita]

A Yaris in Las Colinas..... That was me!!!

[tekmoe]

kewl. if you ever see me cruise thru the 114/macarthur intersection, flash me (with your yaris headlights). :tongue:

white hatch, black rims, dropped, dark tint. oh, and its not a yaris, its a vitz. :biggrin:

[brickhardmeat]

white LB no holes:headbang:

[yarita]

Ok, tekmoe, I'll flash you..... with my Yaris flashlights!! hahaha

[tekmoe]

w00t.

[d4w1]

I live here in Fort Worth, TX. I have a 2007 Yaris hatch back 5 speed with many TRD performane parts installed.

[brickhardmeat]

I saw two right here in downtown dallas today. We're multiplying.:wink:

[tekmoe]

i freakin' saw 3 of them today in las colinas! that's a new record for me.

saw a grey one parked at the keg but it couldn't have been yarita's because it still had paper plates.

[brickhardmeat]

I feel like honking at the other yaris drivers or something. I'm so shocked to finally see a couple. :biggrin:

The more the merrier!

[tealio]

i have paid for a flint mica sedan s, but i am still at war with toyota of richardson over the echo rims they tried to pass off on me...

look for me in the lower and upper greenville areas in a few days...

[machine1]

Mine got attacked by the hail on Friday. It sucks :(

[brickhardmeat]

You got damage? No damage here luckily.

[tealio]

that sucks, luckily those bastards at toyota of richardson are taking their sweet time.. i won't pickup until monday

[yarita]

Hey Tekmoe!

I haven't seen you around 114!
I saw another yaris like mine the other day. Same color. A guy was driving it...... I lost him when we both arrived to loop 12 and 114.
One of my coworkers bought a blue Yaris.
Yes, we are multiplying. (At least in Las Colinas!)

When is the club starting activities? I am interested. :)

[brickhardmeat]

ha, I haven't seen one since that day unless I drive passed a Toyota lot:frown:

[tekmoe]

yarita,

txyarisclub.com is under construction. my job has been crazy busy over the past few months. hopefully things will slow down soon.

i plan on hosting a txyarisclub meet within the next couple of months. stay tuned...

[brickhardmeat]

I saw a black one in uptown on my way to work couple of days ago and a red hatch today on Lemmon at 75 looked over to the left and spotted a Sedan seconds later. :thumbup:

[death is my gift]

[brickhardmeat]

lol! yeah, i hate when that happens. i've driven past a couple of yaris hatches who looked the other way. not sure what's up wit dat!

[death is my gift]

yeah, i've come across some bitch-ass Yaris drivers myself. meanwhile i am giving the thumbs up and dancing in my drivers seat

[brickhardmeat]

I think these people are either ahsamed of the econo "class" car or they drive these cars simply because they are rich and they can leave the BMW parked and save it for Sunday cruises. Not an ounce of enthusiasm in there bones.Fuck 'em.

[fazali]

[joe keeney]

[thatboyjer]

I bought mine from them it wasn't a bad buying experience at all. I had an awful time at two other dealers and walked out.

Best of all they didn't rape my front bumper with license plate holes!:thumbup:

[thatboyjer]

jesus christ they're taking awhile getting my stuff ready. they said my car won't be ready till wednesday now :\. sadly, i have work wednesday so i'd have to come pick it up on freaking thursday!!!!

*sigh* i would go to another dealer but every dealer in a 25 mile radius doesn't have a black 5speed in stock. They'd have to order it in which would take even longer :\

[death is my gift]

thatboyjer,
it'll be well worth the wait. glad to have another Yaris in dfw!

[thatboyjer]

AHHH!!! lol i just called and they were like "i had no idea that they already finished, looks like you'll actually be able to pick it up today"

:]

*crosses fingers*

[thatboyjer]

hell yea i just got the car from the ddealllerrrshippp :D

SAND PEARL BLACK LB!!!!!!

[unusuality]

:eyebulge: A websight for Yaris owners? Who knew:eyebulge:

I got mine about a month ago (it was previously used, but newly mine). I've been waving at every other Yaris I pass, often to no avail (but that doesn't stop me from jumping up and down anyway)...even parked next to a white Yaris Sedan at Chili's about a week ago.

So if you see someone in a little red hatchback, most likely in the north Ft Worth area (at least for the next week, then off to school..), don't be suprised to see me jumping up and down in my car with the stereo blasting:thumbup:

TX MEET...

[wildmongoose26]

I know most of you wont read this.... its seems the posting slowed down, but I got my Yaris last week. I love her!

She in under contruction this week for installation of the new stereo system, stock stereo sounds so sad. I'm excited to work on her and get some things done..... :biggrin:

And I'm in the Carrollton area, I don't know if there are any others around there but I will keep my eyes peeled

[lilredrocket]

Hi there welcome to the fourm. I have family that lives in Carrollton. I live about 30-45 min from you in Crowley its just south of Fort Worth. We should meet up some weekends maybe other yari' in the area. Even though not to many members live in the area

[SaerinRhoe]

Hello everyone,

I posted in the txyarisclub thread but I'll stick my nose in here as well. I live in Garland and work in Plano. No Yaris sightings around me yet but I'm hopeful.

We need a meet! Let's stake out a burger joint or something and plot world domination.

S.R.

EDIT: I've read that there's been offers of a meet down in Houston. That's about a 4 hour drive from Dallas by way of Mapquest so if we could set something up for a weekend, I'd definitely be up for that. I just have to be sure I'm back for work on Monday morning. ;)

San Antonio is about 4 1/2 hours from Dallas so that's an easy drive as well. I'd be up for meeting down there. Austin is a little over 3 hours from Dallas so that's easy as well.

Let's do it folks :)

[SaerinRhoe]

People in DFW, here's your chance... :biggrin:

It's going to be a nice weekend here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area, mid 70's and sunny until the beginning of next week when we're supposed to get a free car wash thanks to the man upstairs.

I know this is short notice but I'd like to propose a Meet this Saturday - read: tomorrow, 3/21/2009 - at Keller's Burgers (Keller's Drive-In) in Dallas. It's a 50's style drive-in and you can Google it - "Keller's Burgers Dallas" - and get maps to it. The address is:

Keller's Drive-In
6537 E Northwest Hwy
Dallas, TX 75231

It's on Northwest Hwy between Hwy 75 and White Rock Lake.

If you want to read some reviews on Keller's, here's a link to the dallas.citysearch website for it: http://dallas.citysearch.com/profile...ileTab-reviews

I'm going to be there around 7pm and I'll try to park as close to the street as I can. It's a pretty popular place to hang out and the word on the street is that they have some good food. It's a burger joint so don't expect to wine and dine unless you hit the 7-11 at the corner first.

I was at Keller's for a bit last night and there was a pretty good crowd. There were a couple of bike groups there and a tuner group and a couple of old cars mixed in with the rest of the folks.

Anyway, people seem to want a Meet in the DFW area and also in Texas so we have to get started somewhere. Maybe we can work this out to a monthly thing.

If anyone is interested in a South Texas Meet, i.e. Houston, San San Antonio, Austin or even New Braunfels or Gruene (isn't this pronounced as Green?), I'd be happy to come down for a Saturday or Sunday.

And don't worry, if nobody shows up it won't hurt my feelings. There's plenty of glow kits, chrome rims and street bikes for me to ogle while I'm eating there.

Drive safe,

S.R.

[lilredrocket]

I'll be down for that hope I don't get called into work!

[SaerinRhoe]

Great to hear Lilred. That makes 3 people, hopefully, and everyone that wants to stop by is welcome.

I'm planning on being there for a couple of hours, until 9:30pm or 10pm or so. It all depends on how much trouble I can cause.

[SaerinRhoe]

Well, it was a good night for a meet here in Dallas. It was comfortably cool, there was a light breeze and Keller's Drive-In was hoping. There was a classic car meet at the back of the parking lot with probably 20-30 cars there for show. There was a bike meet on the west side of the lot with probably the same number of bikes and I lost count of how many mini-vans and crew cab 4x4's were there.

And the Yaris meet? Yup, it went as planned and there was an excellent turn out. I got to Keller's at about 8:05pm and was quickly joined by myself and I. The rest of the voices inside my head were all on a business trip with the executives from AIG so that left little ol' me as the sole representative of YarisWorld. :)

I got a few pictures of the meet. Nothing fancy as it was pretty dark for my camera to get decent shots with but I tried and I'll post them up tomorrow afternoon.

I was there for about an hour and a half and left just before 9:30pm. Dinner consisted of a cheeseburger, fries, dr. pepper and a strawberry milkshake served up by a very cute carhop. My car did suffer a little from the rejection of being the only Yaris on site and I came home with a couple of :eyebulge::cry: scratches :cry::eyebulge: through the clearcoat and paint to bare metal so I'll have to get those fixed up as soon as I can. It's supposed to rain here Sunday - Tuesday so it may have to wait until a dry day.

Other than that it was a decent evening even if it was a little lonely up there.

Next time will be better though, it will be better planned and I'm hopeful that more folks will show up for it.

Drive safe,

S.R.

[SaerinRhoe]

Ok, here's a few pictures that I took out at Keller's Drive-In last night. I don't have a good digital camera so these are going to be dark and probably a little fuzzy but hopefully it will give you all some idea. :)

Also, let me apologize for the big images, I don't know how to resize them so maybe one of the OP's or Admin's can help me out on that.

First picture is taken from across the street. I tried to get a good view of the street-front and all the cars but, even with the flash on, it's a dark picture.

Second picture is the best strawberry milkshake I've had in a long, long time. Yum!

Third picture is the carhop shack where all the business happens and you can just see the tail of an Infinity FX35 SUV in the frame. There was a huge range of cars and motorcycles there. They have the prices shown on a couple of huge signs on the front of the building and on the side. If you want service or need something from the carhop, you turn on your blinkers to get their attention. It's a nice place, lots of friendly people and lots of nice cars to look at.

Fourth picture is my baby, a 2009 3-door liftback, black sand pearl, all stock. The only mods so far are tinted windows (35% front/20% back) and blue interior lights in the footwells and center console.

The next 3 pictures are taken from the back of the parking lot. It's probably a bit less than 100 yards deep and in the back is where they had the old car show. They had everything from rust buckets and hot rods to show cars and street cars.

The last 2 shots are just daytime pics of my car that I took a couple of days ago. Nothing special.

It was a good night and a guy asked me if I'd come to show my car when he pulled in beside me and put in an order for food. I thought that was cool. I've never had anyone ask me that and it felt good that at least 1 other person there thought it was a nice car.

Anyway, I hope the next one can have more representation and I'll definitely give more warning next time.

Hope you all have a good week,

S.R.

[lilredrocket]

Sorry about being lonely there. My gf took really long getting ready plus she had to do her daughters and her daughters friends hair. So by the time we got there you would have left. Maybe next time. I have every other weekend off hope it on the next on off.

[SaerinRhoe]

That's cool lilredrocket. There was plenty of glitz and glamor there not to mention the strawberry milkshake :)

We'll try for another weekend in a couple of weeks and see how that works out.

Drive safe everyone,

S.R.

[lilredrocket]

Ok there are acouple of others on here taht do some auto-x racing ill see if they want to go next time
