Yaris Fleet

[Dodge Aries K]

So after shuffling some ideas through my head, I've decided to switch things around a bit. The ol' Shadow convertible and the xA will be finding new homes as did my V6 Camry. So here's what will be staying here, not including my beater truck.

The blue 07 5 speed was purchased from nearby Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. Guy was moving out of the country so I got that thing for really cheap. It's taken over the role of a project car that my daughter and I want to modify and take to local autocross events. She picked this over keeping the Dodge... smart kid. I have some before pictures and it wasn't too pretty... being in the city damaged the front end so I replaced everything up front pretty much and had to have a frame shop straighten out the passenger side frame horn.

The black 16 L 5 speed I bought new. It doesn't see much action because I almost never drive myself around when it's not for work related stuff. Plus, it's getting put up for the winter so it doesn't have to take the abuse of salt. I love this thing but I kinda wish it was a four door so that way we could use it more often for family outings. It's been getting some leftover micro image parts and other things to make it nicer to drive.

The gray 13 LE was just purchased from a small dealer nearby here for a really good deal. It will be taxi cab #2 after I get the weathertech mats and rear bumper protector I ordered for it.

The silver 14 LE I've had over a year now. It's taxi cab #1. Besides the front bumper being a piece of crap and the carpeting being stupid, it's been 100% reliable and trustworthy.

Finally, the blue 12 L is my wife's everyday car. That was also purchased for a good deal from a small dealer. It's been a great car and we usually use that when the three of us go somewhere together.

Now I just need to replace this horrible onslaught of crappy steel wheels and plastic wheel covers. Yuck!
