I concur. My wife has #3, some of #2, but hasn't ever done the racetrack thing. However, her name is Mercedes, so she gets a free pass.

Yeah, I've got 3 and 2 as well. Not going to worry about #1, though....
Not if it's MY car she's driving...

Sadly, my wife is nowhere on this scale. What's up with that?

I got #3 and #2.

If you're talking about the 1/4 mile stretch, I've had a time or two on that rodeo. haha

I am going to have to remind my husband how lucky he is. LOL

Shhhh! don't tell anybody but I test drove a 4.0L 5spd Mustang today, I was almost considering it... til I pulled the eBrake. Awesome color choice for your yaris

Good luck with it, looks like you're off to a good start!

3. shame the 5 doors don't come in manual transmission

but really for safety everyone should know how to operate a manual
2. although I feel I should own stock in Gojo sometimes...
1. I no longer dnf so I can count this one

in the same token, I appreciate my boyfriend of almost four years for the following:

3. Knowing how to pick out appropriate outfits for any occasion
2. Ability to plan, prepare, cook and present a tasty, healthy meal
1. Ability to know when he's been beat and let me get what I want

wildmongoose26 · 03-25-2009, 10:30 AM

thank you for all of the wonderful comments, I'm so excited to finally have some things done to her! Next is to find some nice wheels, which so far has been an interesting search, but I know I will find some ones I like soon. Oh and tint! I fell so exposed right now, I want my cave feeling back so I don't feel like everybody can see me

and for anyone who cares anout the mustang, I traded her in b/c I wanted something better on the gas and something with four doors. So I was very happy to see that the yaris started making the four door model!! It was love at first test drive

So thanks for all of the comments and I am happy to represent for all of the girls out there

opposites attract, familiarity breeds contempt, that sort of thing?

Vic-2NZFE · 03-25-2009, 05:24 PM

Your car is looking great so far, keep it up!

Loren · 03-25-2009, 09:10 PM

A dragstrip does not equate to a "race track" in my book.

But, I guess it does count for something.

Oh, geez... I'm not talking about going around in a circle, either!

Autocross and road courses, yes. Something that requires turning both left AND right, as well as using the brakes.

The Yaris is actually pretty good at that sort of thing.

I'm actually really interested in the Autocross stuff - I have been checking out the MN Autocross and I am planning on getting out there to observe this year sometime.

tristan · 03-26-2009, 12:12 AM

looking good!
what springs are you on?

wildmongoose26 · 03-26-2009, 02:04 PM

well I had some help on the springs, I'm not sure that I could of done it all by myself.

It was definatly fun taking apart half the car to get to the front springs

And they are AG springs.... I got them off of ebay. And yes, I know some people think it's stupid to use not big name brand springs, but I really like them so far and they dropped her a good 2 inches.
