ya...i have people ask me if i have a floor board or if i power the car like fred flinstone....lol. mostly guys from work, but when they ask me how good MPG it gets n they hit the floor. i'm around 39-40 right now, and it's jsut about bone stock. i want aluminum wheels and i'll be doing the grounding kit soon.
any way, i'm hoping that a reduction in unsprung weight will help a lot...rotating mass as well. as well as less resistance in current/voltage so the alternator will be kicking in less. less demand on alt should free up a little power and fuel economy |

I love momentum.

I could care less what anyone thinks of my car. I enjoy it, it was cheap, I get great mileage from it, and it's fun in the corners. I've had a WRX, Evo, Gti, etc. They are all fun, but end up costing big bucks in one way or another (usually at the pump, and insurance). The Yaris gets me from A to B with a smile on my face, and with extra money in my bank account :)

I work with a bunch of people who drive Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW. So I get the look daily from them.
But I've also gotten this comment from people I work with: "Man, you know really know cars and you drive a Yaris?" ....... pause....... "They must be good cars then." Damn straight they are |

I have the greatest one for you all today. I was dealing with the usual bs traffic today. Anyway it eventually starts to clear up. A lifted Dodge Ram with dual stacks pulls into the slow lane to get past someone doing 10 under in the fast lane. He is cruising there for a while and I get room to get over in the slow lane and I speed up to get past slow traffic. He looks back when I get over and then I speed up and get in the fast lane to pass him. This truck had everything redneck you could think of. Anyway as I passed him my passeneger said he leaned out the window to look down and forward as I passed him. I was told the driver had the look of "what the hell was that little thing that just passed me" when I went by. I laughed because I looked in my rearview in time to see his head still out the window looking at me.
