Just wanted to vent my excitment.. wifey dosen't care....
Living in New england I wanted snow tires for the lil' yaris. (heard bad things about stock tires and snow) Anyways found steelie rims with hubcaps and lugs for $50, and michelin x ice used for one month in 185/60/15 for $100 for all 4.... so $150 for snow tire setup not too shabby.. oh I do have to get them mounted $14 each at town fair.... so $203 for a complete snowtire setup with basicly new tires.... whoooo hooooo Think I did pretty well.... Not to mention going the complete opposite way picked up a 2003 fully loaded last week for $2500.... needs a door (woman's kid opened the door while she was backing out of garage)...found a door for $100 hinge for $18 and paint is $200... total $2818 Think my week is going pretty well.... I just wanted to vent my happiness.....

Grab a sway bar. Easy and cheap way to address a lot of the wind vs Yaris issues.
