I agree. If you really like red, go for it!

YarisOwnersDad · 04-12-2009, 09:17 PM

No, Peeps, I won't do that to my son. He would die if I got one EXACTLY like his, color and all. I don't want to take away from his enjoyment of his new car.

His previous new cars were ones that I bought and made payments on while he was in school, the second of which he paid off a couple years ago. This is his first new car that I had nothing to do with, except to help him get a better deal.

Can you guys believe this? It looks like I am REALLY gonna get my Yaris!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, tell me the truth, how many of you thought that I would get a Yaris at this time? I sure had my ups and downs, didn't I? I had a wife big time opposed to my trading, and I had my own doubts about it. I just couldn't get the Yaris out of my mind, though. I couldn't give up on the idea. Thanks for all the support you guys and gals have given me. It is going to be a lot of fun belonging to this community as an actual Yaris owner!

Gonna have to re-register with a new username, huh? Maybe "DadGotOneToo," or "DadGot12?"

We love having you around, as well!

I wouldn't change the name, I would just add "I got one two" underneath.
Or you could change your name ...

what ever makes you happy!

Best thread on the site!

How about "YarisOldAsYaFeel?" Would that be a good username?

I think you should just keep yours

Yaris Hilton · 04-12-2009, 11:06 PM

Resolved or resigned?

I sure do like my Barcelona Red Metallic. Didn't bother me a bit to see a 2007 that looks just like it twice in Johnson City this week. (A skinny redheaded college girl drives it and puts on her makeup while doing so.)

Do something else to distinguish yours from your son's, like put a spoiler or some wheels on it. Or a custom front license plate.

I think the word I was looking for WAS "resigned." My wife is resigned to the fact that I will be getting a Yaris. Thanks for the correction.

Oh, the Barcelona Red Metallic and the Yaris were just made for one another, no doubt about it.

I'm predicting white

*tomato* · 04-13-2009, 07:43 PM

My money is one of the metallic lighter colors.

He said he wasn't sure about white because it's time for a change, not sure about Flint Mica, so....

Is it hot in Kentucky? If it gets hot down there, he'll probably go with a lighter color.

The suspense

is killing me!

YarisOwnersDad · 04-13-2009, 09:43 PM

See the other thread for the announcement of my color choice (with pictures).

Tom

YarisOwnersDad · 04-13-2009, 09:49 PM

Well, ths HAS been the main thread about my quest for a Yaris, so I might as well post a picture or two here as well.

Thanks to all of you who hung in there with me for the last couple weeks. It has been a titanic struggle, but together we have prevailed!

Congratulations! Thanks to you and your wife for a very entertaining thread!
