My Intro. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey guys...

1st post. Just thought I'd write up an intro... my name is Scott. Picked up my '07 Yaris S Sedan - manual. Pacific Blue. Bought it @ Superstition Springs Toyota in Mesa, AZ and drove 1,200 miles back to Houston. Awesome car. Gas prices on the drive ranged from $2.19/gal. to $2.69/gal. I only spent a total of $70.44 the whole trip and that included cruising around Mesa for a little while once I picked it up.

Downside of the trip was me getting a speeding ticket in Ozona, TX going eastbound on I-10. The speed limit is 80 mph during the day and I received a citation for going 83 mph. Yes. Three miles per hour over the limit. I don't quite see how that is "speeding"...

Aside from that, the car is phenomenal. Superstition Springs Toyota really sucks... but all in all, things went well.

I'm lookin' forward to [tastefully] modding the ride.

man sucks about the ticket.

I've learned that if a cop asks why you were speeding then don't say you weren't. I guess they look at thing a little differently when it comes to how much over the limit you need to be to be speeding.

I was going 58 in a 55 highway once and got pulled over as I was exiting. Thing is a was going along with traffic, and most other cars were passing by me going faster. Guess it was my bad luck he had to exit the same exit. anyway he asked why I was speeding and I said I wasn't. He then went on to write me a ticket for going 70!!! I protested, but he threatened to right me up for something else if I said anything. Ofcourse I told him to write me up for anything else he wanted because I knew he couldn't and he just left.
I guess being young, with the top down in a red sport car while wearing sunglasses made me a torget.
