Why I bought a Yaris
... when I could have bought damn near anything I wanted up to ~$50K
I always wanted to drive cross country ... better yet why not circumnavigate! all 34 border/ perimeter states - 9200 miles in 11 days! Went to Hertz because their cars are truly unlimited mileage, but all they had left was some vans and a Yaris L Initially I thought the Yaris would be too small, noisy and uncomfortable for the very long trip I WAS WRONG! plus, I would never buy something common that everyone else has btw, I wil be sleeping in it since i won't be getting a motel room every night - I don't have that kind of time The Yaris turned out to be a very comfortable long distance road trip car so I bought one! - since that will be it's primary purpose The BMW i3 is my daily driver of course the rental car was boat anchor reliable lessons learned: here in CA we have stupid high gas prices - it's really cheap everywhere else! New Orleans has the worst roads in the country - but after Katrina they have an excuse Philadelphia what's your excuse - worst roads encountered most of the country is a whole big lot of open spaces - yet we all cram into dense cities there's a lot of poverty out there - especially the south a small sample of the pictures that include the car The route Florida Keys Last edited by justanotherdrunk; 02-13-2016 at 07:25 PM. |
