Ok, it's so damn reliable i got no freaking problem and now it's over 100K.
I can't put myself to trade it in, because it's paid for and...yeah alot of memories in the yaris

.

Lately i'm driving it like somebody else car, i don't care about MPG anymore, because it's look like either i'm pushing it or not still 32mpg <---good enough for me.

So now i will not be gentle with my yaris anymore and will push it to limit, not mean i will speeding 100+mph, but i will drive it through holes, off road, rocks.......and see if my yaris will hold up. If not, good bye. I'm so satisfied with my yaris already. Great Car, will buy another one if this one died.
Ooooooooo Yeeaaaaaaaaaaa

Or $350 shipped from MicroImage, and you're supporting a HUGE part of the community.

wow that sig is a wonderful way to ostracize yourself from the community.

Not really part of the community since they drive a Soarer. Sounds like sour grapes on the whole MI thing.

I'll admit that MI has strict policies but without them the prices would be double because of all the "buyers remorse" returns. I own a business that has a restocking fee to deter the serial buyers remorse people from abusing my low prices. It just has to be that way so stick with eBay if you want cheap stuff and the backing of eBay when it comes to returns. They are only hurting the sellers who are leaving them in droves (as have I). Should call eBay "ChinaBay". My $.02

+1

Especially when you post on every thread and force everyone to see it. Fact is, everyone in the Yaris community knows Garm, and we all support him. Yes, it's unfortunate you had an unfavorable experience, but as discussed in your thread, everything possible is being done to fix your situation. I had to pay for return shipping on a part too, but that's because I ordered the wrong one, and I didn't complain at all.

enviri · 06-20-2012, 11:09 AM

so basically you're gonna drive it like you live in the ny/ct/nj tristate area. lol. (we do sometimes drive 90-100+ mph)

Chuck G · 06-20-2012, 01:08 PM

Will the Yaris even do 90?

Yes, it will and then some.

Not that I would know anything about that. I... uhh... heard it from a friend...

Yarizzle · 06-20-2012, 06:15 PM

Awesome idea!

CrankyOldMan · 06-20-2012, 07:20 PM

jamal1984 · 06-21-2012, 11:50 AM

yes the yaris can do 100+mph, but it's feel like Aladin on that carpet? hahahha it's freak me out several time, will try again when it's lowered.

oh yeah absolutely lowering will be my next project after wrapping it next week or so.

Some of your guys are making a pretty good case for never buying a used car.
