I bought it as a beater to learn more about working on cars. There's been lots of learning, alright, and it's actually been a reliable car. It's gotten me to Oregon and back three times, and I always take the back roads, using a different route each time. I'm about ready for something newer, though.

Even a base Yaris has all kinds of luxury features my car didn't have when it was new, like a tilting steering wheel, adjustable headrests, power steering, folding mirrors, a radio, hubcaps, air conditioning, and a powerful 4-cylinder engine to top it all off.

Someone did add air conditioning to my car before I bought it, at least.

Love your quest for a yellow Yaris!

On a side note, you should have G10 turbo or G13B swapped your Metro from all the links on teamswift.

I've got a friend in Apache Junction who's working on a G13B swap, but with a turbo and megasquirt engine management. It's a big project. The nice thing about the three cylinder, though, is you can pull it out by hand...

I believe that's the car that stupid Toyota dealer had listed cheap but then doubled the price with ridiculous fees.
