SIPNGAS · 03-22-2009, 11:09 AM

Dude, this has to be the best way to hijack a thread.

Forrest · 03-22-2009, 01:06 PM

They should make a new thread..."The Yaris Dudes vs the yaris Dudettes"

eTiMaGo · 03-22-2009, 01:10 PM

and maybe bring in some chumps, chump?

It started with good intentions but this thread should probably be moved to off-topic now...

There was definitely a valuable topic. I've seen close to 100 people complaining about the yaris being unstable in high winds, in this thread, and lots of other threads. In fact, I first came to YW to figure out how to deal with high winds, and this thread(minus the last 5-6 pages) would have been a ton of help. There's lots of good suggestions on how to fix it in here, and just because a few regulars don't live in particularly windy places, doesn't mean 50 people are wrong, and this thread is useless.

SIPNGAS · 03-22-2009, 07:42 PM

I think what happened was the original poster about 3 or 4 pages back insisted only non-modded Yaris owners should contribute...however, it's those of us with modifications that were offering suggestions as to how to make the car more stable in high winds. That's when it took off in a totally different directon. But that's just my opinion.

ChinoCharles · 03-22-2009, 07:45 PM

Dude, WTF is going on in here... dude.

I can understand that, but 5 pages of spam didn't fix it

I'm just saying for a first time visitor having trouble with driving in the wind, the first 5 pages ARE helpful - the last 5, not so much.

Dude.

While I wouldn't go as far as PK, at least with the Dood thang, I will say that the OPs, and some later joiners, just wouldn't accept that some of us do not have trouble in the wind. I live on a small island with only the Atlntic Ocena to the south, and drive over a 2-mile long bridge, tall enough to let aircraft carriers through, every day (well, I did for the last 5 years when I had a job) at all times of day, and at all seasons. Yes, we have hurricanes and Yes we have strong winds in the winter. The bridge is occasionally closed due to that, and the only way home is to go up and around Narragansett Bay and over the OTHER bridge to the island (a mere 1.25 miles long).
I have only put on wider, lower-profile tires, 204/45-16 vs the OEM 185/65-15. No suspension work.
I have no trouble with cross-winds. Yes, I sometimes have to work a bit harder to keep the car in a straight line when it blows, but folks, that is the nature of wind. If you don't want to have to do that, then hire a chauffeur and let HIM do it. You will not escape it, but you can reduce it.
I hope the point has now been made, and if us "reg'lars" here have turned on a little humour, don't take it personally. We would have done this somewhere, anyway.
