goals?
-Getting all four hub caps replaced, all four of them are scratched up from the curbs. -Getting replacement for front brake-pads, the car has 60k (km) on it, so it's about time. -rotating the new set of tires, hopefully this set will last longer then the originals -patching up a big stone chip on the windshield, the other minor ones probably wont start a fracture. -replace the broken clip that holds that driver side floor-mat into place. Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll have many more 'goals' in the near future since I'm putting on about 70,000km/year on my 07 Yaris. Perhaps my next car can relax in the driveway while being lavished by all the priceless add-ons, but my poor black Yaris can't afford the luxuries and has to work for a living. |

I plan on repainting my car every couple of years or so. Beats clearcoating and waxing it so much, and you can change a colour if you so wish. Its also an opportunity for the body shop to iron out any door dings, trolley dents, etc.

I just plan to take care of my baby Jade (that's what I call my car) and use it for daily commuting to and from school. I'm just a new driver and I got my license like two weeks ago and my Yaris is a "gift" ^_^
Oh, I was planning to have it repainted at first but then again, I did not get the Bayou Blue one.. |

Sigh... here is how I did my best on that.
I usually take 3 weeks vacation there in a year. In that 3 weeks, I can kiss-kiss-ban-ban all JDM toys if I can afford. I either bring things back by myself or ship things back before I take off. In past years, sometimes things went out of control... things like $1500 G-Shocks $1500 OE Foglights $11000 Tom's SC Kit $600 Zippo Lighter $800 Tamiya R/C $3000 Panasonic 2Lb Notebook $2000 Navi/Dvd Head Deck 3 weeks hotels and shopping... I did my best on trying to fulfil my JDM living. I did my best... cuz I guess if I stay 1 more day there, I might end up broke in US, and there won't be next vacation there again. Moving there? I am trying that everyday... ; I need to work harder here so I can retire there. Nothing wrong for me to go back to my culture. |

I'm down with JDM. Enjoyed a bit of that with a friend of mine and his GSR Teg. He's still not finished and is always depleting the bank account.

JDM!!!!.......fine for the folks wanting to follow the set pattern given by the cars mother country. Myself I like to think on my own....not a restorer....make the improvements (whether others like or not) that fit me.

I'm more into "sleepers". Something low pro and fierce. Gotta love an unsuspected HOSTILE killing of scared opponents.

Ahhh, Wanting a 4dr LB is pushing me over the age of sanity. I've started looking at the soon to be extinct xA. Just something about the shape of that vehicle I love, and I'm not a big fan of it's replacement either. It looks like a pug-nosed tank. Justly ugly IMO.

Lol, Yeah. I can be pretty indecisive sometimes. All I know is that my next new car is a Toyota made Compact/Sub-compact. :P

Forum revival lol. I'm hoping to lower mine with some new springs, paint my wheels white, get a tach so I know where I'm revving, muffler, sway/strut bars, cold air intake. Not sure what else but would like to get some more hp, so the giant hill I face going to and from work won't make me downshift anymore lol

For now I just wanna get back into one. Don't get me wrong, the xD has been extremely good to me, but a fuel-saving Yaris...

I'm on my second Yaris the 1st being a 2007 4 door and now I have a 2009 2 door hatch. It's used as my daily commuter. I'd like to add a new set of rims in the Spring and maybe cruise control. Without a doubt, these have been the most fun, reliable, fuel efficient and affordable vehicles I've ever owned. I look forward to driving it every day.
Oh, I have the TRD rear sway bar installed. Corners quite nicely. |

My white plastidip arrived the other day, so excited to do my wheels but the weather on my day off wasn't ideal and I'm gonna be out of town for a few days which means it won't be another week and a half before I know my schedule and will be able to do them, assuming the weather cooperates.

New wheels, sound system, cold air intake, maybe a turbo.
