SoCal Yaris Meet and Mt. Baldy Cruise
Hey YW peeps!
Some pics of this meet were posted in the SoCal section, but since not everyone wanders into that area, I thought to post mine here. After something like a year of discussing it, we finally got an old school Yaris meet on the calendar. It's been quite some time since we made one happen. Deng suggested Cafe 86 in Chino, CA, which served as the perfect backdrop given that the cafe is owned by an AE86 owner/enthusiast/club member. The cafe is decorated with AE86 imagery and toys, so the Toyota love was in full effect, and everyone that made it out was super cool. Not everyone from the forum was able to attend, so we're hoping for even more faces next time out. We're kicking around the idea of doing a Malibu cruise/lunch in a month, or two, so if you're local, stay tuned. I also had the idea of maybe trying to pull together a NorCal SoCal meet. Could make Fresno, or somewhere in Central CA the location, but that would obviously require a bit more coordination... After the meet, my better half, her two brothers and I cruised up to Mt. Baldy for a few more pics. |

Wow. Some nicely modified cars there. Fun get together.
Mt. Baldy is a great drive. I was just talking to my wife this weekend about driving up there one of these days. Last year, when we were driving up the mountain, a deer ran across the highway ahead of us. Fortunately, there was very little traffic. The restaurant at the top is a bit grungy, but there is a nice fireplace for cold winter days... and they have decent enough veggie burgers. |

Considering the damage I did to my sisters Honda by killing a badger one night I think hitting a deer might be bye bye for the Yaris. Nice pics though. Some of California is very pretty. I'd love to explore more of it one day.

Some of my beloved home state is definitely beautiful. The politics, gun laws, business regulations, cost of living, etc., not so much lol. If you get the chance, Yosemite and Sequoia are a must see. |

I'd live in just about any other state except CA if i was a yank. Its expensive and very overcrowded. I liked Arizona a lot more. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Nice S front end on the white car with the S bumper! What wheels are those?
Also is the rear passenger window tipped out in that one shot? Need some more details on that! I've got an 09 and have always thought the back windows should crack like that! |

Love the pics. Wish I could've been a part of the trip. (Since I'm all the way in JA I guess I could just photoshop my ride in there |

Never thought about it, but now that you mention it, I'd love it if our rear windows had that feature. |

I'm jealous haha. I don't think there's anyone around me at all that gives a crap about the Yaris except as a commuter... besides me, that is.
