Haha. Will do. I rarely drive like that - at least that fast - though I do accelerate hard. It was sort of a onetime deal to show you fellas what the car is capable of.

Haha, yeah. But you're probably smart enough not to post it on YouTube. Lol. I want to switch it back to public, but it would be just my luck to get nailed.

No I wouldn't post it. But I will say I've hit 200 in the 2zr..... in Mexico.

Man, you have built such a clean car. Swap, turbo, sure, but there's so much more there than that. I really appreciate it and it looks like an absolute riot to drive. Hat's off to you.

As for posting publicly on YouTube, there are high profile automotive channels with literally millions of followers that break the speed limit in nearly every video. Safe than sorry is usually my motto but I just can't imagine anything bad would come of it. The chances are slim to none, imho.

Don't be so sure. A couple of years ago someone posted a video of himself speeding around the circumference of Manhattan. He lapped the entire island in 24 minutes, so of course he had to brag about it on the net. Well the NYPD didn't like that and managed to track him down and arrest him. Lesson to be learned, "Don't confess to crimes on the internet."

Thanks gents for the opinions. I guess the only true and guaranteed approach would be to remove the video even if the risks are minimal. Unfortunately there are no race tracks closeby at which I could take a video to share.

I don't think we're talking apples to apples with that NYC video. Even if it were, to the contrary, I can post a list of links to extremely popular automotive YouTube channels (millions of subscribers and even more views) that regularly show the speedo going well over 55 --where nothing has come of it.

Again, I'm usually the safe over sorry guy and agree with you both that the only guaranteed approach would be to remove it, but if we are going to talk real-world odds, I just can't fathom anything serious coming from posting a little backwoods hoon vid. You didn't tag the video to your city, your local law enforcement probably aren't as keen to domestic surveillance as the state agents of the NYPD and this video won't be nearly as high profile.

Either way, I've seen the video so I'm a happy camper lol.

Haha, well we're definitely not talking "Big Apple(s)" here. Sorry, couldn't help myself. I think you are right, ern-diz, that it's unlikely anything would come of it. I think I'll leave it unlisted but still available through the forums. Down the road a bit, I may make it public again. I read your response to my wife and we both roared at the "backwoods hoon vid" phrase. So apropos.

Just like when you buy a new car and start to see them everywhere, I hopped on Instagram this morning and here's what a fellow Yaris owner just posted most recently...

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ziDp2i...=1l8cpm8hn5e1b

Talk about confessing to crimes online!

PSA: I know many of you aren't open to platforms outside of our beloved forum but I follow about 1400 people on Instagram, mostly Yaris owners. Individuals and big clubs from all over the world. Far more active owners there than here so If you're looking for more Yaris in your life and don't want to deal with all that is Facebook, I suggest giving the Gram a look-see.

Apologies for the thread derailment, now back to your regularly scheduled lovely boosted and swapped Yaris...

Checked out the link. Thanks.
I created an Instagram profile. I am just as inept with Instagram as I am with YouTube. Haha. I just can't take the time be become polished on those platforms.

Lol! I dig it. I need to update my username. I haven't really been into gaming for like 15 years, but it's easy to remember

[ern-diz]

I followed and shared your engine picture post to my stories, which get a couple hundred views on average. I've gotten quite a few responses, including one from @2zr_nb, who said he lives 2 hrs from you and really needs to see it lol.

I knew you'd be a hit --and well deserved.

That's pretty awesome. I just recently figured out what stories are, lol.
