Yaris II!

[2o6]

[Soup DeVille]

Columbus is considered the gay capital of the Midwest.


The car currently has lime green wheels on it.


What the hell would they do? Club my car?

I don't think it looks that outré. I mean, it's eye catching, but it accents the grey well. I wouldn't see that and say "well, we're clear on this poofter's orientation now, aren't we?"

[Laconian]

I was picturing something more purple.

This looks like one of the more adventurous paint jobs they'd put on a Fiesta.

Comes from this

[Raza]

Those came out better than I had expected.

Really?

Too bad we don't hget the 3 door Mazda 2/Demio

[Secret Chimp]

Hey I think that's an Emernelly Flamberlambs, but the sign on the back isn't too clear.

[Soup DeVille]

I think it says "divergency flatulence". Which starts to explain why it's parked sideways

[2o6]

Now that the Altima is done, I think I may get the windows tinted. That's one thing I miss from my old car

If your plan is to flip this car for a profit, I wouldn't waste money on window tinting.  Throw a bucket of water over it, take some beauty shots and stick it on Craigslist before something else expensive breaks.  Then move on to the next one.

I'm sort of thinking of doing the same thing.  A guy at work has just inherited a car from a recently deceased relative, so I'm thinking of buying his old beater and either flip it or maybe keep it as a backup car.

I meant the windows tinted on the Yaris....

Oops, I thought you were taking about the Altima. 

[2o6]

I'm probably going to sell this car come tax time

[SJ_GTI]

I'm probably going to sell this car come tax time

Why?

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Please buy something fun!

[Madman]

I'm probably going to sell this car come tax time

Why?

Yeah, why?

Your Yaris is the perfect car for a young, single person.  Small, economical, practical, reliable and only costs pocket fluff to run.

Sounds like a keeper to me.

It has no options and I miss a 2nd set of doors (sort of)



I'm thinking about rolling around in the CRV, selling the Yaris, then selling the CRV come tax time

[2o6]

Picked up these

[2o6]

Nothing new has really happened with this car


My priorities in life have changed so I've decided to keep it rather than try and get something new



So I just bought a factory install cruise control and am looking for a cheapo set of wheels.




My friends 2005 xB is coming up on 250k with minimal issues, so I feel like keeping the Yaris is the most sound idea.

It is.

[Madman]

It is.

Agreed.

[2o6]

I actually still like this car a lot

[12,000 RPM]

Pics are blocked here but u should mod it. I bet its actually a good bit of fun. What kind of gas mileage do you get

With me driving with my foot in it; around 32. On a straight stint of all freeway about 37-40.


The car is super light, and there are a billion mods for it. Might get some Tein S Techs for it

[2o6]

It's also a little behind on basic matienance. It's on factory plugs from 2007, and it has an exhaust leak that has gotten progressively worse. I also act identity backed into a Cobalt so there's an ugly scrape.


Otherwise it doesn't use any oil. My friend's xB uses about a quart between oil changes but considering it has 250k....


Other than that not much. I'm never buying these Chinese Doral tires again; they wear ok, but they have a compound similar to dehydrated jello.



I think when I install my cruise control, I'll probably get better MPG than my old sedan. I tend to drive too fast and fluctuate speed on the freeway

[12,000 RPM]

I dont know how hilly your area is but one thing I've found that helped MPG significantly was using gravity. My route to work was pretty fixed with some undulating hills... so in the Z I would gun it downhill and coast uphill. When I had the room to do that a lot my MPG would increase appreciably even at the end of a tank. Annoying as hell though. Tire pressure is big too.

Installed

You gunna get some real summer tires?
