Very cool man. Before the summer is over I want to auto x mine too.

I think the Yaris is a great first car (I think its a great whatever number car period - I tell anyone that will listen). Perfect city car and I love the simplicity. My first car as a young teen was a 73 Trans-Am; loud, fast, flat black and a bit rough around the edges, sinister looking - I loved that car's look, sound and power. It couldn't be cooler, but the problems.....it eventually took the fun out of owning it and I got rid of it. That was many years ago in the 80's. It's funny, I've had many different cars and for overall driving fun factor, the Yaris is my favorite. There's something about the small size of it that just makes it fun and I swear, the interior smells like the Trans Am - it always reminds me of that car, I don't know if its the plastic or what, but it's uncanny (only the Yaris is reliable, ha!)
