Lurker's first post

Figured I'd do my first post.

I've been lurking since last Feb but didn't join until recently. Last Feb my kid's Escort finally crapped out and she needed a new car. I told her I'd pick out the car but she had to make the payments. Reluctantly she agreed and I went down and picked up a Carmine Red 3dr with Auto/A/C. She was overjoyed when I showed her.

Fast forward a few months. The wife decides she wants a car that has an adjustable steering wheel. I currently have two of the same make and neither have adjustable wheels so I told my kid I'll give here the one I had special ordered PLUS I'd paint it a color of her choosing in trade for the Yaris. Sooo, after painting the other car PINK for her and swapping the paperwork over I will soon be finalizing the swap this weekend after I trim out the interior for her...more custom paint. FWIW, I have been VERY happy with not having an adjustable wheel on either car. The cars are both great and both are 2008's - one has 38k while the other has 21k, both trouble free miles.

Things planned for the Yaris once it is in my possesion.....

- Cruise: I want to use an OEM Toyota stalk
- Trim out the interior in Carmine red: Thinking of doing the argent pieces and the part around the shifter.
- Armrest: Who has the best armrest out there?
- Racing disc hubcaps: I'm a mileage guy, and I like the looks too.
- Scangauge: I'll morph it into the interior somewhere, did it with one of my other cars and it looks OEM.
- Tint windows
- Paint engine cover Carmine Red
- POSSIBLE two-tone paint: We'll see. Thought about doing the top in silver, still up in the air.

So far this website has had a wealth of info. Thanks.
