Hello all,

Tomorrow, I will purchase a 5-speed '08 Yaris 'S' 3dr Liftback in metallic meteorite. I don't even know how to drive a stick yet, but I'm sure I will learn in no time. :-)

I've always been told..
"If you can drive a standard...You can drive anything"

Don't listen to those that say... "If you can't find it... grind it"

Its a figure of speech.. Not a rule.

Driving standard is easy once you get the hang of it.... one of two things will happen. Either you will peel out,, or kill it.. Just don't do either in bumper to bumper traffic...

Good luck!

I've been driving stick for many years. I do have to say that the Yaris
accelerator takes a little getting used to. So, I am not sure what to tell
you about learning to drive stick on a Yaris. It's a little lighter touch than
my old Geo Metro, and that was rather light.

But, I have to say, as I have been posting lately..... Welcome to the forums
and best color choice!
