The owners manual will answer almost every "stupid" question... believe me!

now for more advanced stuff (and just to BS), these forums are useful

I'm sure I won't be getting into any advanced stuff any time soon....if ever...lol. Right now, I'm still getting used to driving an automatic again after almost 10 years with a manual. I'm still reaching for the clutch that isn't there...lol.

I'm also kinda looking for some cool little Yaris images/pics/graphics to put up on my myspace page. (Yes, I'm a dork, I'll admit it.) Any ideas? I'm so not the photoshop kinda girl...lol. My google searches have come up a little empty on what I'm looking for.

what dealer did you get your Yaris from?

x2... lots of good pics in there.

TY all for the help.

I got my Yaris down in Joliet at Thomas Toyota. I'm originally from there, and I brought my dad with me to make sure I wasn't completely being taken for a ride....lol. It was easier for me to get there, than for him to get up here. They were pretty nice there. I probably still got a little hosed, but don't we all when dealing with the car dealerships? I still got it out the door for a thousand less than I was willing to pay, so I can't complain too badly.

just got my yaris hb this week. came off of a corolla. im really loving my yaris except no tach and power doors. but still a great car. i live in the southside of chicago.

acrbill · 02-21-2007, 08:22 PM

Congrats on the purchase.

The power locks killed me too. So much in fact that I installed aftermarket power locks and an alarm. No tach bothered me at first and now I just don't care.

sherryberry · 06-30-2007, 04:21 PM

sdmf · 06-30-2007, 04:30 PM

sherryberry · 06-30-2007, 04:36 PM

I think I've only seen 3 or so yaris in total on the road so far :( it's sad. Otherwise, it's all big SUVs and vans.

sdmf · 06-30-2007, 04:39 PM

sherryberry · 06-30-2007, 05:02 PM
