How old is the GF? For sum reason the yougin's are knocking at the cabin door these days and I just don't get it?

It's not like I am complaining, but the formula is rather strange.

Ah, she's three years younger than me, so she doesn't qualify as being from a younger generation (although she looks young and hot!).

(before I met her, even with the minivan, I found that girls in their late 20s to mid 30s were very compatible with me - any older and their clock was ticking too loudly...)

It's not the Yaris, it's you!

Ya, I can relate too them myself. it's not that I am a juvenile delinquent, but they crave adult speak at times. I also look much younger then my age. Often the grown off-spring are confused as being buddies not "fruit-of-the-loins".

And I'm 50, with two sons getting ready to graduate High School (one this month, the other next year, a year early). I was sick of my family vehicle ('97 Dodge Grand Caravan) and missed my previous car ('86 Celica) and have a stupid commute (21 mi. each way on the L. A. freeways. I laugh at everyone else at the gas pump.

I definitely have gotten more looks while driving this car than I ever did in the invisibility-cloaked white Caravan, but it's not expensive enough to make those looks stick. My girlfriend thinks it's cute!

I've added window deflectors, a nice chrome tailpipe tip, new speakers (planning on a DVD player with surround sound soon). I plan to get new alloy wheels and tires when these tires wear out, if not sooner. No intake or any other performance mods. It's a fun car, and this is fun stuff.

"I have better guitars than you"?? Gee, you hurt my feelings. I only listed one GIBSON.............
Well, the two GIBSON'S you mention that you have are definatley great, I'll give you that, BUT the Fender? Come on....your going to put a "bolt on neck" up against a Les Paul OR ANY other GIBSON? You plugged in

?
Are we off topic?
Don't forget....."Only A GIBSON Is Good Enough"

OT? Yeah!

The Strat's my baby. I could sell it and buy a couple of Yarii. But then what would I play?

grampi · 06-12-2007, 12:41 PM

I just turned 49 and I'm interested in going with some aftermarket tires and wheels just for the looks. The only performance mods I would consider would be those that improve fuel economy. I'm not the least bit interested in creating some racer boy toy like those hidious Hondas with the loud fart mufflers. Those thing are ridiculous! I don't think anyone of any age looks any more out of place driving a Yaris than they would driving a Mini Cooper or a Miata. I want one because they look like a niche car, they get excellent mileage, and because they come with that wonderful Toyota swiss watch-like build quality.

I hope this isn't dorky, but I work in a sensitive area and can't get too specific. let's just say that I watched "Car 54, Where Are You" in my formative years

Under 2 you can keep 'em penned up in the crib. It's when they escape that you've got problems.

Yep and yep.

Mature women are hella good in 'multiple' ways.

MudBug · 06-12-2007, 10:23 PM

I just turned 44. I still have my Chevy Z71, bought this as a daily driver since I don't need the truck as much as I used to.

I did lower it, tint the windows, new rims, NST pulley, new amp/speakers, and plan on doing any other mods that can be proven to put a little more pop under my AT's hood, not race style pop, just daily driver pop.

Pars · 06-12-2007, 11:43 PM

I'll be 40 this year, Wife's 30, When I'm with her crowd (20th and 30th) they treat me as if i'm one of the juniors, probably because I look as young or younger.

If I wanted to feel more mature and was shopping for a liftback, I'd probably be looking into the HRR, PT Cruiser, Jeep Compass/Patriot (which are in the same price range as my loaded 5dr Yaris). But, I like feeling younger and the Yaris reaffirms that image.

If I were a 'cradle robber', which I'm guilty of (wife was 19 when I picked her up), the Yaris would be a good car to be in. But, it'd need a nice DVD system and wheels and other upscale touches to give it a bit of sophistication (like European models).
