What the heck IS this thingy??? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can't say I'm positive of the year, it has been awhile. It did look very similar to the pictures posted but not exactly and I am certain it was a 4 dr. because my buddy and I stripped it down and took it to the junk yard. He pushed it and we had taken the front seats out and I crawled out the rear door because we stopped too close to another car to get the front door open. It seems like it was a little more rounded in general than the picture above.

, but it does have its limitations.

See, I can't think of anything I would put in the search engine to search for this. How about "thingy on bumper"? I'm at a loss.

I tried "what's that square hole in my bumper", that doesn't work either.

If you have a question, then ask it..... why it bothers some I don't know.

I know what you mean. If you don't word the question exactly right, you might not get any info. Like I said, the search feature is limited.

A good thing from now on, someone will be able to enter "gerbil escape hatch" and fall right on this thread

Three threads actually.

By the way, I got curious and wondered what the price of the Honda S500 and the Corolla would be today. Using this site, I found...

- $1,275.00 (the cost of the new Honda S500) in 1963 had about the same buying power as $9,057.07 in 2010

- $1,700.00 (the price of the Corolla when it hit US shores) in 1968 had about the same buying power as $10,829.30 today

Obviously, cars are much more complex than they were back then; but it is surprising at the difference...

Cheers! M2
