New to Yaris ? Check in here !! - Page 56 - Toyota Yaris Forums

pawsplus · 03-01-2010, 01:54 PM

Hi! Just found this place. I have had 5 Toyotas in the past, all purchased used (1971 Corona (my first car!), 1978 Corolla, 1982 Corolla, 1986 Corolla, 1994 Corolla). Just traded the 1994 (with 220K) in on a NEW YARIS!! My first new Toyota ever! I've been lusting after the Yaris liftback since I first saw one, and figured now was the time. I got a GREAT deal (not w/out significant energy being expended though, LOL), and Shark Bait (named b/c apparently that's what the bozo dealer thought I was--au contraire!) and I are now a couple.

Shark Bait is a meteorite metallic (i.e, grey) 3-door liftback, and a 5-speed. I'm anti-power anything, and it was HARD to find one w/out the power package. Didn't even want the convenience package, but it was impossible to find one w/out it. So I just refused to PAY for it, LOL, and I got all that (plus the "all weather guard" package) for free. I'll take it! :)

I've already learned something from being here - couldn't figure out why there was no mention in the owner's manual about replacing the timing belt -- apparently the Yaris's timing chain NEVER NEEDS REPLACING! I KNEW I loved this car!

Here's Shark Bait on the lot:

First off, I'm a lurker, not a poster! I even waited to join until I bought my yaris. I got a 3 door with the Convenience Package and floor mats in Carmine Red. The best part? I drove 36 miles on .734 gallons!!!

I'm getting that feeling around here. I just have to test the water a couple of times before I jump in!

Welcome

Damn, I could barely afford one car when I was an A1C! Of course, that was back in 1984, so things have changed a bit.

Good on ya for wrenchin' them Strike Eagles at the 4th, that wing has a long history that goes back to the Eagle Squadrons of WWII. It's a great unit and the E's are wonderful aircraft, but Hogs kick ass!

By the way, I was a maintainer during my enlisted days (81-87), got commissioned in 89 so if you plan to make a career out of it, take all the educational opportunities you can get!

And welcome to YarisWorld! If you ever get back down to San Antonio, let us know. Yes, I work at Lackland (as a contractor, I retired four years ago), but I have nothing to do with BMT!

Cheers! M2
