Sad to say, but its time to see him go

So after 5 1/2 years and nearly 190,000 miles, its time for Yoshi to be buried (My '09 Yaris) .... :sad:

First off sorry I fell off the face of the earth .... The Yaris community isn't as cool on the east coast ... that and I bought a '03 Honda CBR 600 RR Named Bowser (Notice a trend) that has taken up all of my free time.

Now I know the next question on everyone's mind is "what happened" Well to be honest it was actually my fault :facepalm: I was traveling down a two lane road and just missed my turnoff and pulled off onto the shoulder ..... for once there weren't that many cars on that road so I counted the cars coming behind me in my side view mirror ..... 1...2....3...4...5.... and ::Illegal Uturn:: I noticed (Mid U-turn) that there was one car that I had missed and my reaction was to floor the gas pedal, which got me out of the way enough for the other car not to hit me right on my passenger side door but instead hit the back drivers side tire and rear quarterpannel. She hit me at about 45-55MPH spinning me around and immobilizing the vehicle ... the pics of the Yaris are after they started to dig into the damage :sad:

how did my fairly new Yaris get totaled by $5,500 - $6,000 worth of damage ? 190,000 miles :(


and the last thing I'm sure is on everyone's mind .... what did I get as a replacement ? A barely used 2011 Honda CRZ his name is Mario (I'm carrying on the trend) ..... I've had him for about a week and I'm fairly happy with him ..... the worst part about it is that now I have to go introduce myself to all the "Honda guys' and we all know they're not as cool as the Yaris guys!
