My Yaris turns 4 today!

Well, it was four years ago today that I first saw, test drove, and purchased my "new" 2007 Toyota Yaris. Fell in love the first time I saw it drive into the lot with 23 miles on her.

Happy "Birthday" Peppy, and to many more to come!

Her birthday present today is minor, just added some computer hard drive magnets to the oil filter as her rear bumper isn't in yet.

Happy b'day, man! She looks great!

I guess technically mine is 4 as well, but I got her used, so I celebrated her "second" b'day in February.
B'day present was modest this year but hopefully next year, she gets a nice set of wheels at least

Yeah you can't miss the car around here, kinda the ONLY one like it . I was @ autozone buying a new rear wiper refill. So far this month I've needed a new tire, battery and wiper.

Happy birthday Yari! What size rims and tires is she wearing? As well as what springs? Any rubbing?

Hopefully you enjoy many birthdays with her.

Congratulations on your Yaris' 4th birthday. Mine in the same Metorite Metallic color is 2 months old.

I bet your Yaris makes a great companion for your '71 Ford Galaxie.

They are 17x7, tires are 205/40ZR17. Only mild rubbing up front on dips. I was getting much more rubbing with the 215s I had so I went a tad narrower and love it. Springs are Sprint Performance, rated @ a 1.75" drop, but they actually settled at a 2" drop. I really like them and I'm still on OEM shocks. Waiting for them to wear out before I spend the $$$ on a performance set.

And yes, I hope to spend MANY birthdays with her. I plan on driving it till the wheels fall off.
