Just reserved my clown car - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

It amazes me that the 5 door isn't any bigger than the 3 door because just looking at them you would think the 5 door is definitely a longer car. I've driven an SUV for so long that I cant wait to get into a little clown car!

i usually get nothing but props from ppl on my yaris but, some of my coworkers have jokingly referred to it as...

a super mario bullet (bullet bill!)

a rollerskate

darth vaders helmet

lol

Maybe if you put a "Yes, It Has A Hemi" sticker on the back you'd get respect.

LOL

Reminds me of that old joke about the Gremlin I used to drive. "Where is the other 1/2 of your car". My answer now is, "Sitting in my parking space". When they give me a funny look I say "I have 2 Yarises".

Update:

I went back to the dealer today to close out the deal. They took all my "Cash for Clunkers" documentation and filled out paperwork and such. Got zero APR for 60 months. Now the dealer is just waiting until Monday when they can register with the government program and they'll transfer plates and I can pick it up. Woo hoo!

Did you leave the clunker with them or are you still driving it until Monday?

kmf123kmf · 07-24-2009, 03:49 PM

I'm still driving it. Dealer has the title, and technically speaking I already own the new Yaris I guess, but there is a 7 day grace period on the title transfer so there's no problem with me still driving the old Exploder. At least that's what they told me.

Thanks. I'm doing the clunkers deal too but with the added wrinkle that I'll be out of town Sunday - Thursday. Maybe my dealer will do it the same way and I'll know the deal is a lock while I'm away.

Congrats on the car!

no yellow hat.

Of course, I can understand why they would put that on there.

Not that it really matters, but I saw the local "clown car" again this past
week. It was not a Honda Fit, but a Chevy Aveo!!

I don't have a camera in the cellphone, but maybe I will get lucky and see
it when I do have my camera in the car.
