I spent some time in Bahrain and all I saw was Mercedes, BMW and other BIG money cars, so a Yaris looks like a big change

Yup!! In fact there are plenty of compact cars nowadays here in Middle East & the locals’ are starting to get rolling on that F1 circuit in Bahrain every now & then. Well, they have the bucks & can afford to buy out of the factory hot cars but on the other hand, you’ll miss the challenge of making a Yaris kicks some ass on the road.

does that mechanic really work on cars with his sandels on???? you should really take some better pictures of the side view of the car so i can see the actual look of the car lowered. and the picture of the condom install was that included with the springs or a trade secret????
