The only thing that I have done to it maintenance wise, is 30 oil changes and spark plugs after 100,000 miles. I still haven't changed my accessory belt. Does anyone suggest that I change it? I get about 40mpg - 50mpg @ 50mph - 70mph. I only started modifying the engine after 140,000 miles. Mods include: Weapon R Secret Intake with a steel mesh filter instead of the Weapon R foam filter, Megan Headers, Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust (kept the stock look), NST Crank Pulley, TRD Sway Bar, Tanabe Springs and Strut Brace, F1 Lights 16" Racing Wheels, 8000k HID's in the headlights and fog lights, Bellon Voltage Stabalizer, 2.5" Spinning Tornado, and Greddy Speed Cut Defencer. I must say, I think my yaris runs way better than the average yaris out there. For example on the highway I can keep up with an 07' Civic Si from 70mph to 110mph and after that, the Civic Si pulls away. That's 106hp vs 192hp. Not bad! I have yet to take my car to the 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile track. But most people that have driven in my car or seen my car run on the road, thinks it about a mid 15's car on the 1/4 mile. I'm open to suggestions and/or opinions.

Come on you young Turks....this guy is full of Sheeeet! He'd have to average 412 miles a day for the entire year! Most professional Truckers don't drive this far....sheesh!

Is this a racial comment Pavel? I sure think it is, may have to give you a warning for that one

There's a movie, slightly old called Turk 182. I don't recall seeing even one Turkish guy in that movie. It was just a dude doing crazy stuff.

I actually have a friend who drives a tractor trailer across the USA and he got a brand new truck in May 2006. When I bought my Yaris in August 2006, he had 44,000 miles on his truck already. When I hit my 1yr anniversary on August 2007, I had 152,000 on my yaris and my friend had 161,000 miles on his tractor trailer. I closed in a gap from 44,000 miles to 9,000 miles in 1yr without leaving the state of Florida, whilst my friend was driving across the whole country. Now isn't that a great accomplishment?

Oh, and for those who still doubt me, I have proof of purchase for cases of oil filters, spark plugs and proof of my work with date and time stamps. And I also have my IRS tax return proof where I claimed mileage for my whole year's income.
