Nice car...you will love having that in northern Virginia, I know I do here in DC.

Chaad32 · 07-18-2006, 07:00 PM

Hmmm....you don't need front liscense plates where you are?

Congratulations! I think the color is called bayou blue in Canada. This is the nth time I say it - that color did not appeal to me on first sight. But when I see it in pictures, I find it very attractive. It is not silver though (silver is what you say under your avatar

).

It's definitely not Bayou Blue, or any other kinda blue. Unless I'm colour blind & don't know it? Maybe your monitor is acting up.

I find that the Copper Orange Mica, Bayou Blue & Meteorite Metallic colours for the liftback can look quite different under different lighting conditions.

Yep. Definitely!

"The Joy of Henshin". Sounds like a book about cooking, meditation, or uhmm...something else ;)

Henshin has just got his new car and he is joyful (see his post on the last page). That's what I mean

And it's also different than the Silver Streak silver that is offered on the Yaris sedan...

I really like the Meteorite Metallic, though I'm colorblind AS HECK and i can't tell what all colors are in it. My new Black Sand Pearl Liftback looks odd to me, my friends tell me it looks Hunter Green under artificial lights at night (downtown)..
I've also been told the Meteorite Metallic has a bit of red in it..is this true?

Henshin · 07-19-2006, 09:30 AM

you guys rock!
speaking of rock... i got to work today and went to my ~new~ usual space, the one where people aren't likely to ding my doors and low and behold... someone else was in my spot! (see pic) -- if that's someone here, and you're going to keep parking there, at least park closer to the curb, and we'll make a deal, don't hit my doors and i wont hit yours!--

--
in response to me not needing front plates in VA, it's illegal they say, not to have them, but I've been front plate free for a few years now and no ticket. got stopped once.
I might get a plate holder that mounts under the front bumper, but i'm not poking holes in that bumper, no way!

and the reason the car looks less silver is I took the photos with my mobile, and I didn't white balance it first... speaking of my mobile, i love the AUX jack in the stereo, I can use it with my phone for MP3 playback AND as a speaker phone system... Yaris rocks!

Safe and happy motoring!
