I have to wait until febuary 09 to have enough money for my Yaris.

BUT I WANT IT NOW!!!! Anyway, I am planning on getting the exact same one Jafo has, but in meteorite metallic or carmine red. I WANT IT SO MUCH IT HURTS!!!! I joined this site to scope out mods I want to get right away.

Thanks for the welcomes, LtNoogie and natethegreat38.

Regarding mods, I had kind of observed that trend (hard to stop at just one), as you said like potato chips... I've heard people say the same about tattoos. I knew that I would be going that way with mods if I didn't get a car with the options that I have installed already (especially the alloys... I detest plastic wheel covers

). As it is, I will probably be happy with it... any mods that I do, if any, will most likely be small and few in number.

Regarding mileage/fuel economy, that is one of the factors that entered into getting this car (along with reliability, price, cost of ownership, etc.). I just didn't expect it to feel so solid, look so cool, or be so fun to drive! So I see already what you mean about the two types of posters here, but I will probably fall somewhere in between... I won't be modding it like crazy, but I also won't be turning the engine off at red lights to save gas.

It doesn't have to be either or. One of your first purchases should be a ScanGauge II trip computer so that you can monitor your instantaneous and average trip mileage. Watching your MPGs can temper how heavy you lay down that lead foot. Look at my mods. I still got 32 MPGs the last tank. It all depends on how hard you push it. Enjoy the forum, you'll get a whole lot out of it.

Yes, I was kind of kidding on that point... I know it doesn't have to be either or. I just meant that I won't be taking fuel economy to that extreme (that example I gave seems a little extreme to me, but to each their own). Maybe I will get that trip computer... our other car (and the car I had before this) has/had a built-in trip computer, which do give interesting information. Thanks again.

Proud new owner of an '09 LB here. Just hit 700 miles today but already have 17" black Privat Netz on it. Perfect timing with the winter potholes but the car looks way better.

Welcome to YarisWorld! Your car reminds me of this other new member, Zacharyaris. He had a very simliar car.

Haven't seen too many posts from him though.

Geology · 12-18-2008, 01:47 AM

Hello All! I walked out to my brand new, not even a month old car and a little card was stuck under my windshield wiper. The car said, YarisWorld.com. Now I am here.

Seems like a pretty knowledgeable group of people lurking around this site.

I have a 2009 5door Carmine Red beauty.

TheRealEnth · 12-18-2008, 02:05 AM

Hello All,
My goodness, I have not been here for a while and have been unable to log in for also a while ...I cannot imagine what happened with Yaris World and there being a hacker? I can't find my Garage and would make a new one if I could remember how to make my Garage....I also had several posts from the past but they too are gone...Whatever happened I am so sorry because I love Yaris World and all the wonderful people and looking at their wonderful Yaris Cars as well as other cars they have posted...I bought a tail pipe cover that looks bigger than the car! LOL Instaled a hidden GPS, put some Yaris door stickers and the liftgates little rubber cover...and the car is so cute...
