Hey, it looks like you've got some tint on, which is good. Also rocking the naked steelies instead of the hubcaps - +1 for that in my book. You know, for under $200 and a little elbow grease, you could throw a set of springs on and bring it down an inch or two. The effect would be dramatic. |

Very nice. That's me, "super jelly." I tried to find a 5-speed Yellow Jolt for months. Not a single one came up for sale in the whole country, so I gave up and settled for a Blazing Blue with all the other features I was hoping for.
Keep it going, you've got something special. |

That tint was on there when I got it. I'd never had a car with tint before, and it's grown on me a lot. I scratched the inside tint off the rear window when I was transporting a huge steamer trunk in the back. Shame, too, because whoever applied the tint did a very professional job. Now I know better. I'm having a good time investigating all the DIY repairs/mods on the forum. Making a short list of things I can do myself when the weather gets a little warmer. Thanks for the welcome all. |

My only gripe about it, really, is that I wish the stick shift was in the dashboard, like was in the 2003 Matrix manual trans I used to have. It's not quite as ergonomic for me in the Yaris with the stick so low and towards the back. But I still like it. :D |

Well, probably the originator-none-greater is Crashy, brought to us by the inimitable, CTScott. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first thread on it:
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ghlight=crashy CT took a salvaged Yaris and created a supercharged, snow plowing dump truck with it. Yeah, for real. A forum search using the keyword 'Crashy' and threads started by 'CTScott' will bring up several gem threads with pics of Crashy's journey. For a more practical approach, this thread by justjesus came to mind after your mention of wanting to lift yours: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ghlight=lifted |

I have not seen a Yellow Yaris in the wild. I thought it was a mistake when I saw one listed for sale. :D This old dog learned something new today.

I just Bought a 2010 in March
It only had 7800 miles! (Yes you read that right less than 8000 miles) that's less than 2 5000 mile oil changes! (Though they changed it about 6 times in the 9 years)
It is a Loaded (Power Pkg. Convenience Pkg. Cold Weather Pkg.) Automatic Car Garage Kept 1-Owner car came from outside of Chicago...I got it @ Dealer in Indiana...We drove our Blazin Blue one 400miles to go get it. We looked like a Yaris Race leapfrogging traffic on the way back! Sorry the pic is goofy I wasn't able to resize it on my phone. "Just Crop"

So happy every time I see one! I don't own mine anymore, sold it to a kid who just turned 16 and needed a car. But in the 5 years I owned mine, only a few times did I ever see another. I always tried to make eye contact and wave. Once I was nearby a university part of town, and saw two young ladies in a yellow, and I waved at them. We were both stopped at a traffic light facing opposite directions, and I spotted them first. When they saw me waving, they both visibly screamed with delight.
On another occasion, I found myself driving immediately in front of another a yellow with a Pikachu tail that I'd seen parked on a residential street, but never saw on the road. When they pulled up to me on my left at a stop, I gave them a peace sign and they were recording me on their smartphone. Those moments really made my day. That yellow car made people happy everywhere I went. I'm trying to get another one, but it's looking like the new one might be red...... |

I have still never seen a yellow one "in the wild" but I have seen multiple of the also rare Carmine Red ones. I'm glad you enjoyed the thrill of encountering other yellow ones. :) |
