Trust me, I know. I just finished my second grad degree at the ripe old age of 40-something!

Thanks, it was a masters in Strategic Intelligence through American Military University. It was all done online, and my company paid for tuition so I really couldn't turn down the opportunity.

My first masters was in Information Systems through Bowie State, paid for by the Air Force when I was in. That one was mostly classroom work, with one class online if I recall correctly.

My undergrad degree was in geography of all things, that one I completed at a regular university (UF). I had VA benefits as I had already served in the Air Force beforehand, and had completed some courses while I was in.

I am a huge advocate of educational opportunities, especially when someone else is paying for it! School, and traveling, are the best ways to expand your horizons...

Cheers! M2

Cool! That's a wealth of knowledge you have there.
Ed-ops are always awesome when someone else fronts the money for it!

A bit dirty, but lowered and a new exhaust in addition to the wheels...plus the rebadging.

I would've left a YarisWorld card, but I didn't have any on me!

Cheers! M2
Well, guess who I passed this afternoon on my way home from work!




And I even got a quick vid with my phone!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuwE8sRD-Ss

This time I was able to run back and hand the owner a YW card at a stop sign. His Vitz is still dirty but still looks sweet!

Cheers! M2

p.s. By the way, I last saw this Yaris/Vitz turning into the other end of my neighborhood. If the owner does get on here, and lives just outside of 1604, let me know as we are close!

I think ive seen that vitz around the 410/I10 area too. Obviously these guys enjoy modding their ride but why arent they on here?

In our quick conversation (while I was handing him a YW card), he said he was aware of this site and that he needed to get back on here; so I suspect he's registered but have no idea under what name. I hoped posting the pics and vid would entice him to be more active with those of us "in the 210" but so far there's been no sign of him...

Maybe my dirty Yaris cracks are scaring him away!

Spotted two out of the ordinary Yarii yesterday while out in the Jeep. The first was a black hatch at 1604 and 151 with its hubcaps (a.k.a. wheel covers) painted gold. It looked pretty good but would look even better if the badges were done in gold as well..



Sorry for the lousy pic, it was taken via my phone, through my Jeep windshield (which is always dirty), facing towards the sun and I wanted to get a pic before the light turned green!

Second was a sharp red hatch parked in a neighborhood just south of 410 near Marbach....



Looks to have 18" wheels and I've seen a similar spoiler put on by a local Toyota dealer (Red McComb's). It needs tint, if you ask me; but otherwise it was pretty sweet looking.

Unfortunately, I had no YW cards to drop. I really need to put some in my Jeep, as I see more Yarii when I am in it than when I am out and about driving Sprocket.

Speaking of which, I was up in Blanco last week and decided to take some back roads that I know home. The first was along the Blanco river...



And these two are just north of Kendalia...




The Hill Country has some beautiful vistas that are great for taking pics of the Yaris!

Cheers! M2

OK, around 3:45 this afternoon we were heading west on IH-10 and what I think was a Meteorite Metallic Yaris LB came whipping past and cut in front of us just before the Leon Springs exit. It had wheels and was dropped, and was running dual centered exhaust tips. Traffic was heavy and I tried to get the driver's attention as we passed after he exited, but I don't think they saw us. It has some decals on that I couldn't make out in the brief instance that we had a visual on the car, and I didn't recognize from this forum but I thought I'd ask. It's almost hard to believe that someone who modded their Yaris wouldn't be on here...

Oh you better believe it! haha.

I think last November i saw a modded red liftback when i went to get some Chipotle. I waited for the Chinese guy to come out w/ his friends..and asked if he ever heard of YarisWorld..his response "No, not sure what that is"....

He had the MicroImage grill on the front, he HAD to have got it here or on MI forums....
