1991 Acura Legend

I like those wheels.

Yaris Revenge · 04-10-2006, 01:17 PM

2003 Pontiac Vibe, already racked up over 100,000 miles! Great car, but my wife talked me into an automatic, and I've regretted it ever since. I want something small and manual. I have a '72 Honda Z600 minicar which is my favorite size, but in the middle of restoring I've decided it's not worth the effort (super rare parts, and I'm not so tool-handy). I want something small and fun, but with something at least resembling safety features (which didn't exist in 1972, apparently). However, a 2 cylinder car is pretty cool.

Here's a pic of what a Z600 looks like... not mine, but same color.

(BTW, the Z600's for sale if anyone wants it. I've got 3 engine blocks, 1 of which is actually running, but could use some carb work)

'03 Nissan Murano SL AWD. Picked up this car because my wife and I had our first child:

'02 VW Jetta 1.8T. My wife's car that we are getting rid of for the Yaris. I mainly use this car as a daily driver when I don't have my son with me:

This is what I drive now.

I will be going from 8mpg US to 40mpg US. The money I save in gas almost pays the monthly payment.

The jeep will become a permenant off-roader and the Yaris will be my reliable commuter.

boxerboy · 06-24-2006, 05:51 PM

Just add a Yaris Hatch white 5spd.

Boonespeed · 06-25-2006, 02:58 AM

it's not SO much the turbo that hurts gas mileage, it's the AllWheelDrive system.
Engine Hp is 227 ish, actual wheel horse power is 172 ish (proven over and over on Dynos from Dynojets to mustang dynos).. a lot of loss through the drivetrain of 3 differentials... They are freakin' sweet though, gotta love the technology in the WRX and Evo series..

TrancosRt · 07-06-2006, 01:31 PM

Well, I used to drive a 5spd '97 Ford Contour that I gave up for my mom´s '01 Auto Chevy Prizm. It was a good deal considering the only thing I had to do was taking care of the Montly Payments, but I regret doing the trade. I love driving stick and this Prizm is a boring car.
I´m trading in for a 5spd Blazing Blue Hatch with a Conv. Package.

Dude, you gotta be the richest(and luckiest) guy in our tri-city area!!! I wish I had coin like that to ride cars like that. And man, you gotta be like one of the very few people to own most of those cars because I rarely see many of them around.

I can honestly say I'm jelous, but its OK, I'm True to my Yaris as my only car.

Your a lucky guy, Hyde!!!
Keep it real.
