Just saying.



I see a Yaris almost every time I drive. There's one time I specifically remember though.

In Rocklin, CA you were at a WaMu bank and I parked my silver lift back Yaris next to your silver lift back Yaris and you smiled at me as we walked passed each other, leaving me with a confused look on my face since I didn't know it was your Yaris I parked next to until I was in the bank and saw you get in it.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but some other posters said we used to have one before in the general section.

Finding a Yaris owner through a bulletin board like this one is kind of a long shot, I think, but hey you never know.

Well, we can easily move it back to CA if people would rather see it there and make it regional instead. Let see how it goes.

it was in the general forum and it was sticky

I think it should be in CA. I posted this thread in CA because I spotted it in CA, you know?
Every so often people might wonder if that Yaris they passed by spotted them and it's easier to find these spottings by specific region

OK, I've reopened it in Califonia, but I'm leaving this one here in the general section as well for the moment because that's where all the traffic seems to be.

Haha cool. I doubt I'll find the guy though. Next time I'll just yell out my window, "'HEY! YARIS!!"

[tomato]

Hahaha! Yeah, I usually wave and most of the time I get a positive response, but not always. Once in a while I get the wtf-do-you-want-from-me look

BTW, I stickied your thread on top of the California forum, that should do it :)

I saw a beautifully modded Yaris 3 weeks ago in San Francisco but I don't think the guy ever made it to this board, eventhough I handed the info to him. Too bad. He had a tons of gadgets and stuff on his car.

I think this is a perfect example of a thread that should be a social group instead. It makes more sense for people of the same geographical area to be in the same group, instead of having ppl of all parts of the world trying to find another member in one giant "spotted" thread.

Thoughts?

[tomato]

hmmm.. I don't know. I think a thread is much more visible than a social group, I think.

When you are posting about a missed connection, you're not just asking the board, you're asking the whole www.

My 2 c though. I'll go along with whatever the majority wants.

[EleKid]

Well it's not one giant spotted thread anymore. It's specifically for CA, if you check the stickied thread

[ern-diz]

idk why but i'm thinking one sticky thread per regional forum would make sense so that people who spotted people in their area can post at the top of that area specific forum...

then again, one sticky in the general forum works also because that is probably the forum that gets the most traffic, regardless of region (this is how it was setup before the hacking)...

i don't think a social group would work because not everyone that gets spotted is going to join so, they may never even see the post about themselves being spotted by someone...

Ooh. Controversy. Haha

sign me up for the supercharger. I like stickers too.

You cali drivers seem so friendly. I drive in fear that another new yorker will take my thumbs up for another finger, and shoot my arse.

That being said, does anyone know if there are yarisworld stickers that we could discreetly put on a window?
