Just got back from a visit at the warehouse we like to call the Toy Box. Twelve show/program vehicles were on the list to get crushed, including the sedan I mentioned previously, so we did a walk around with the Toyota guys to check them all over.

The exciting part for us, we are getting a complete drive-train from a Yaris sedan: engine, trans, axles, brakes, front sub-frame with suspension. It will be great to have these spares. Now we can look at really pushing the motor.

I was able to make an appeal to save one car, at least for now... The 5 axis Yaris roadster was on the crusher list. I told them it is way to cool to crush - especially since it was at Willow Springs with us and I know it runs and drives - I told them it needs to be added to the museum collection. They took it off the crush list, and are going to evaluate adding it to the museum. Fingers crossed it survives.
