07-01-2007, 02:20 PM
As stated anyone who wants to meet up at the Starbucks across Serramonte is welcome to join. Around 10 or 11pm lots of cars begin to show up; some old cars and some new cars most of which have or will be tuned. The cars that we had yesterday were a 2007 bmw e90, 2001 honda prelude, 1996 civic, 2007 yaris. Hopefully at Starbucks some of the Yarii members show up.
Anyways, Starbucks this Saturday!!!! I'll keep asking this until i see some more Yarii folk around!!!!!!

alright!!! Sweetness!!! usually around 12 or 1AM we'd hit up Legion of Honor because the lighting is way better for pictures at that time. Maybe if everyone's up for it we can take some pictures at Legion of Honor (assuming everyone meets up at starbucks around 10 to 10:30-ish?)

cool, heh, it's okay that your Yaris is stock. that's what meets are for, to see what other people have done and to talk to other owners and get some suggestions on what mods to do. hahaha, hope to see you there.
oh, heh, ignore the latter half of the PM i just sent you.

I work on Sunday the 15th -_- but I wouldn't mind helping pay for your toll fee....not like I'm loaded or anything but you are driving out from Fremont and I'm pretty sure you can make it out since we usually hang around the starbucks past 10:00 until maybe 11:00 or so?

lol...i know what you mean, i have work in about an hour for 5 1/2 hours. not as bad as yours, but i work at L&L. i have to take people's orders, give them their food, and clean up their mess. and the worst part is, a lot of them don't leave a tip even when they leave the tables a mess (you'd think a pig or something just ate there). and some customers are F-in rude too!

Alright. so Kaotic showed up and we saw hella xB and tC over in the parking lot. Some pretty nice cars around. wish there were more Yarii. Not much Yarii love up in NorCal

07-08-2007, 03:45 AM
the lighting was off and that offset the point and shoot cameras a lot. All my pictures turned out blurry even when the little screen showed that it looked decent lol. Maybe next time.

07-08-2007, 05:08 AM
yeah, my pics are blurry too, but i'll try to upload them when i have the time. there were hecka xB's and tC's, and at the end, an all Civic (for the most part) team came in and parked across the parking lot.
heh, gotta love the Yaris...i only used up 4 gallons from going from Sac to Daly City and back to Sac. :biggrin:

07-08-2007, 10:01 AM
no clear shots at all?
Sorry I couldnt make it....my work screwed me over. Someone called in sick so i had to stay till 9:10 to close my dept. because no one else could..
What kind of megapixels are you guys using for taking the pics? You can slow down the shutter speed for night shots and take it w/ a stand. By hand the pics come out blurry.
Yea i hate food business Kaotic. You should see hardware depot stores.....people look at the item and drop it on the floor in front of you to have you pick it up after them....lazy~

07-09-2007, 09:08 AM
You dont have to get those LUMIX cameras yrsdrgn.....you can get a previous version from ebay...I bought the FX-01 when it came out last Spring 06.
Tri-Pod solves problems too.
Yea I want to get it lowered, but I
m just worried about all the potholes in S.F. when I commute there soon. And I'm not much of an installer like yrsdrgn here. One car garage here and no where to do it on the street~
I'll see. But i also dont want to void my car warranty....so....I need somethin to pass the legal side of things.
yrsdrgn
07-09-2007, 11:34 AM
hehe not like i gonna buy a new camera that soon =P i'd be fine with a tripod but i forgot to bring my mini tripod on saturday.
When i drive around the city and hit potholes by accident or if i have to due to there being traffic on the other lane it usually isn't that bad.
Talk to Speedelement since Calvin lives in SF also =P
and lowering only voids the suspension part of the total waranty hehe

you can buy the TRD springs and have a dealer install them to keep your warranty. hehe. but that's a crap load of money!
