Thanks :) I'm sad too. Thankfully it looks like Enterprise has Yaris for rent so maybe I'll get lucky.

Maybe Garm has some light-weight doors I can pick up as replacements.

Carbon Fiber... mmmmmmm....

Wow...I just read this. That sucks. Did you or she get hurt? How long out of commision?

SaerinRhoe · 05-31-2009, 03:48 PM

Nobody was hurt, I was inside and my car was parked at the curb. She was backing out of her driveway. I was parked in the driveway but moved onto the street to let my mom go to the store. This happened about 5 -10 minutes later.

We'll see about a repair time on Monday but it will probably take a couple of days to get the estimate.

I know there was some talk in one of the threads about CF doors but I don't think the manufacturer's name was

SaerinRhoe · 06-01-2009, 04:26 PM

I think I'd have to win the lotto for CF doors :) but it's a nice thought to get me through the repair process. The rental I managed to get is a Mazda 3 4-dr.

Haha. They gave you a ford. Sad day!

Lazerdot · 06-01-2009, 09:20 PM

Yup...To bad....

Lazerdot · 06-02-2009, 03:06 PM

Hey guys, I just got my web link added to YarisWorld. Take a look.

I expect the brakes to be here today or tomorrow. Garm said I can work with the present pads. I think the rotors should go on fairly easy if I have the right tools.

Wanna try for Friday night? Probably down your way LiLRed?

I'll let you know when they get here.

lilredrocket · 06-02-2009, 06:51 PM

If you mean down my way I got a big enough garage to do it in and I can fire up the grill if you want!

Lazerdot · 06-02-2009, 07:04 PM

Only want to do what makes it easy for you. I can make room here too. Seems you end up driving a lot so I thought it was my turn.

lilredrocket · 06-02-2009, 07:15 PM

OK you have a PM

SaerinRhoe · 06-03-2009, 01:09 PM

Awesome web link Lazerdot. Would you be interested in me passing out your business cards when I pass out YarisWorld cards to other Yaris drivers? I'm making up some business cards on my pc to hand out at events and when I see another Yaris or Yaris owner.

So, an update on mine.

I talked to the guy at the body shop and he said the damage is all the way into the intrusion beams (no real surprise there) so they have to replace the entire door. All parts are coming from Toyota and I'm pleased about that. He said the door should arrive today and the glass might take until Friday to arrive so hopefully that means I'll have her back sometime next week.

That would be excellent because then I get to wash her up nice and pretty and hijack the next meet to be a 'welcome home' party.

Here's hoping it all comes together quickly,

S.R.

lilredrocket · 06-03-2009, 05:42 PM

That's good news in a bad situation

Lazerdot · 06-04-2009, 08:01 AM

Man for some one who just had his car wrecked you have a good attitude. LRR, I'll give you a call, but Friday still looks good. I'll bring some burgers!

lilredrocket · 06-04-2009, 01:27 PM

Ok I was going to the store tonight to pick up some other stuff for a bbq. Jeff are you coming down tomorrow or are you ashamed to so up in a ford?

SaerinRhoe · 06-05-2009, 12:28 PM

Am I ashamed to show up in a Ford? Have you forgotten who went into a biker bar looking for a Yaris owner? Have you forgotten who stood on a sidewalk in Houston and yelled and waved at passing Yaris drivers to get their attention?

Ashamed? I think not good man.

I'll be there so long as you pm me an address to be at. Also, let me know if I need to bring chips or dip or... wait... we'll have plenty of dips there already. Let me know if I need to bring anything else.
