I'm not here very much anymore because:

A) Can't stand the "Yaris and Toyota are on a pier and untouchable" attitude. It's called having an open mind. Example: Someone's sig is "nothing dumber than a hummer", and yet, they praise the Venza, which serves no real purpose in the already over-crowded SUV market.

and

B) Got annoyed of all the political/religious stuff. It's one thing to take pot-shots at one another (dem/rep), it's another thing to slug it out in an all-out flame-fest.

C) I also feel like I'm surrounded by immature kids. The mods, generally, are spot on with a mature (yet fun) attitude, but when I see someone type like it's AOL, talking about how they "raced" their new Yaris... And how they can "feel more power" by using higher octane fuel, even though it's well known the ECU map is for 85 octane, let alone the 87 most of us put in... You get my drift...

+1

There are a ton of repeat threads, oil viscosities, will these wheels/tires fit, what springs should I get, etc...

I know the members are good at telling who ever starts them to use the search function, but maybe they did and couldn't find what they are looking for or for some other reason. Is there anyway to have the topics we know will be repeated again and again organized in the newbie part of the forum in some way? Like a "new to the yaris common faq/common mods" or something? Just a thought.

Just to reiterate this, this is a public forum and everything you say can be seen by anyone googleing "yaris _____" so keep it clean and leave the politics/imho's/personal attacks out of this forum. There are plenty of places for it and this is not one of them.
