Calibers are nice. I had a friend who had a caliber. She was crazy, but I liked the car.

Welp, I'm back, heh. I've been on a long road that brought me from a totalled 2007 Yaris 3door to a 2007 Dodge Caliber, then to a fully decked out loaded 2LT 2011 Chevy Aveo5 w 20k miles, and ending last Saturday with me trading that Aveo5 even swap at a dealership for a Toyota Certified Used 2009 Toyota 3door Yaris with 40k miles. I just could not find anything I was as happy with driving as I was when I had my Yaris.

Yah, I know I took a monetary loss on the trade, but I'm happier with my car now than I have been since my original Yaris was totaled. I just feel like I'm back home again behind the wheel and I consider it a win-win for me and the dealership. Hehe

Only thing I wish this newer 2009 yaris had was remote keyless entry so I guess that's going to be my first mod! Yea! :-) Well, that and maybe the color. I have no idea what color it is. I'm color blind and it seems every person I ask what color it is I get a different answer. I've gotten a "Merlot", and a bronze, a "brown-red", a brick red, I got a burgundy, I got a maroon, I got a "purpleish red" earlier today when it was cloudy. Seems no one can tell me what color it is. Blue would have been a lot easier to describe to other family members afar. lol

I'm glad I'm back, and glad to see some of the same old gang are still here.

Welcome back.

I'm going to say you got a Carmine Red color.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I know you said you are color blind towards this shade of color, but I would think it would look the same on a computer screen as in person, no? Does it appear to be the same as this?

Yes it does look like that! heh thanks!

PS> Heres a mod I did to my Aveo. Thinking about doing the same to the Yaris but would need to find a double DIN opening. Another thing on the to-do list. :)

No problem.

Wait, did your LB come with an integrated radio, which is why you can't do the tablet mod right away?

The Nexus 7 fits perfectly in a Double DIN opening. Unfortunately, my Yaris, like my old 07 yaris has a smaller than double DIN opening for the stock stereo. I think there are kits that will replace that part of the dash with a piece that has a double DIN opening. I'll have to get one of those when I can afford it, heh.

[why?]

Carmine Red is a wonderful color. Congrats on the new Yaris. I kind of think of it as aftermath of a bloodbath red. The bodies have been removed but the blood isn't quite dry.

[Hershey]

Carmine is a great color for the H.B.. 3 door and 5 . Very good choice !

I thought all Yarii came with either an integrated HU or a double DIN sized HU???

It looks slightly skinnier side to side and way shorter than a double din, but taller than a single din.

Actually the opening is 200mm wide, which is 20mm wider than double DIN and it is double DIN height, which is why installing a double DIN radio only requires the trim pieces for the sides.

Ahh, thanks Scott, must just be my crappy eyes or an optical illusion, heh. The opening in my Aveo was perfect sized for the nexus 7. I may have some fiddling to do to get it to work in the Yar.
