Yaris Get Together In NJ?

Any interest? How about a mass oil change orgy?

Or a Tech Day where experts like me show interested people how to do various repair and maintenance items? And other experts can tell me Im wrong?

For instance how to change front brake pads (you can do it if you can change your oil)

I can bring a FRAM oil filter to cut open.

Or, maybe we should combine in with New England and have it here in my heated garage.

When you mentioned that you wandered into a dealer in Mt. Laurel, I figured you probably lived nearby. I heard/read a report that a creek that runs off the Delaware River and through Mt. Holly (about 10 miles from Mt. Laurel as you know) was almost 3 feet above flood stage. I thought to myself 'I hope Bronsin doesn't live there'. Good to know your house is okay (and your wife, I assume).....and your Yaris, Vette, and bike.

I'm up for it. I live in Toms River, but safely away from the shore. We're about 5 miles from the nearest area that got hit.

I drive back and forth from Moorestown (near Mt Laurel) to Toms River via 38 & 70 and a short hike on connecting roads.

Don't mind going north to CT. Never been there.

All for a quick class on installing Fog Lights, and/or Reverse Camera with Monitor. I'm not sure how you'd get the video cable into the car. Light Maintenance like brake pads, etc. would be fine too.

Anyone have a generic group Yaris design I can put on t-shirts to bring to the event? I do screen printing so could wip out a few.

Bronsin, is that a Moose in your picture? Did you hit that?

I get so close to hitting deer on Rt. 38 in Pemberton and on Rt. 70 in Pemberton.

If I do can anyone gut them?

Yes it is. It was on Route 16 somewhere west of Prince George BC.

No I didnt hit it!

I parked my Yaris on the side of the road to take a picture.

An elderly couple driving the other way saw the rear of my car and the dead moose in front of it. THEY thought I hit the moose and were on their cellphones in an instant calling for an ambulance!

Bad things happen when you hit a moose!

No I cant gut a deer anymore and in my experience a car hit deer is to broken up inside to make doing that worthwhile. The ruptured bladder, liver, gall bladder intestines etc gets on the meat and ruins it.

Thanks Bronsin, I was just joking about gutting it. I'm sure the deer would be gutting me if I hit it in my Yaris.

I swear that now that I have this little car that everyone's cutting in front of me. At least it seems like it.
