Congrats, that's awesome :thumbsup:

Meteorite Metallic was my first choice but I settled on Blazing Blue.

I'm actually still waiting for mine to arrive so I can't tell you how jealous I am!

Be sure to post pics when you get a chance...

Kalispell is about 300 miles from bozeman. Its possibly even prettier here. We have a big lake to goof around with as well in this area. Only problem is alot of folks are moving in. The winters are like 7 months long and cold and dreary. I snowboard so its just fun for me. But alot of folks move here and then after a winter move out.

Ok i've had my car for about 20 hours now and put roughly 150 miles on it so far. I must say,this car is way more then i expected. I love it so much, the handling is awesome, its so tight in the steering, the clutch is perfect(for me), shifting gears is so easy, the interior is really nice, lots of room, nice storage, good power, nice and peppy, great gas milage, and so fun to drive. The one and only complaint i have about it, is the stereo and speakers suck. Cant wait to put an aftermarket head unit in, and all new speakers. I definatly give this car a 10/10.

Now lets do some mods. :biggrin:

let's see some pics of the meteorite metallic, all the pics seem to look different.... i can't choose between the meteorite and the black(i ordered meteorite, but it and a black one are coming in at the same time and i can choose!) so help me choose here.

You guys do realize that the new car smell is in fact toxic!!!!! Apparently it is composed of several dozen known carcinogens, released from various materials in the interior. :eyebulge: Hey I saw this CNN, they NEVER lie ...... right???? :laughabove:

I believe that there are even canned new car smell for sale. Just spray it into your car and it will attract a higher price in the used car market. Believe it, or not:biggrin:.

Hey guys, got pics of my yaris finaly, there from my cell phone though, the digital cam is broken:cry: . The Meteorite metalic is nice. It is silver but with a hint of light blue in it, and some people claim that in a certain light they see hints of like a turquoise or greenish color. Anyway, i love it. I'll try really hard to get better quality pics next time. Enjoy

Nice car friend! What's that pink decal in the top picture, or is that a reflection of something?
Before you get a new digital camera, may be you can use a photo editing software to sharpen and brighten up your present pictures. Just a suggestion :smile:.

Thanks. The pink thing is my inspection sticker. I already did enhance the photos as best as i could, they we're worse. Remember they were taken with a cell phone so the quality is not going to be near as good as a camera would.

Really not bad for a cell phone. Again, nice car! Hope you don't mind me trying, :wink:. On the other hand, I won't mind if you say you prefer the originals :smile:.

that's funny!

I'm still waiting for mine :bs:

the Meteorite Metalic looks sharp though :coolpics:

switching from a 3 cylider geo metro will make the yaris feel speedy as hell, be sure to break it in before you start chirping out of second!

I have the meteroite metallic as well. Stays clean looking and I wanted it to reflect heat from the sun as best as possible plus not be too flashy. Though I still get alot of stares.
