New to the Yaris World in my 2009

[ctsround3]

First of all, hello YarisWorld! As of yesterday 11/19/14 at about 5pm, I now own my first Toyota Yaris. I work at a dealership and had the chance to drive one years ago and fell in love so when the need arose for me to purchase a daily driver, you can guess what my first choice was! I'm no noob to the car world, I'm an old school Toyota guy through and through (Celica's to be specific). I hope you will all welcome me with open arms because as with every "new" purchase, I'll have "new" questions to ask about a platform that I'm not yet familiar with. Let's start out with what I bought.

It's a 2009 Toyota Yaris 3-door hatch, 1.5L, with a manual transmission, 128k on the clock. I bought it locally from an older couple who used it as a daily commuter and serviced it religiously. With that being said, it is literally in perfect condition! No ding, dents, scratches, etc

The one and only reason I purchased my Yaris is to drive it until the wheels fall off, then put more wheels on it and continue driving. I'll be changing jobs after the first of the year and nearly 40MPG will be a nice addition to my 100 mile daily commute.

I tell myself this every time I buy a car but I had no intentions of modding it. We all know, as car guys that means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING because we always sink money into our adored 4 wheeled friends. With that in mind, I am keeping the mods to a minimal, IE suspension, wheels/tires (the basics) just to get it looking good, considering it will never be fast

Anyway, I won't bore you, without further adieu, here is my Carmine Red Metallic Yari! Feel free to chime in with your "favorite" wheel choices, suspensions preferences, and anything in general that you old timers have "been there, done that" with.






As stated before, I am a die-hard Toyota guy so I figured I'd also throw in a pic of my beloved 1985 Celi. Nice to meet you all!
