get some random canadian tire fogs, lol. i hear u with wanting more of a car, im only 19 myself but im happy i got the yaris (and the lowering kit really helps) lol. make it fun. lower it, put in fogs, drill holes, put in a system if u like ur music (or jsut base like me :)), huge thing to do is put in NST pullies. amazing to make the car go faster. i put them in and i cant believe how much i get pulled into the seat now. the other day i pulled over to make sure i had gotten into my car and not my moms (v6 camry)
ur a kid like me, have fun and who cares what ppl think. go to the track and have alot of fun. the yaris impresses alot of ppl (especially in the snow)

IMO, you really should just save your money. Yes, the yaris might seem a bit boring or lame right now, but it's what you can afford. If I were you I would take my yaris and do some upgrades on it like springs, better tires, maybe even a supercharger or whatever, what would be way less expensive then a new car.
Your yaris will last you a good long time if you take care of it, and it can be a pretty fun little car. Besides, I wouldn't get a V6 mustang unless it was the new mustang with the 300 HP V6, you get a V6 mustang with the performance of the old V8. |

<sigh>
I'm 55 now, and got my first ever new car (2007 Yaris) at the age of 52. Compared some of the cars I owned as a kid, the Yaris has power. Let me repeat that - my last car in Europe was a Fiat 126, roughly 40 hp from a 600cc engine. My last car here before the Yaris was a VW Fox, 81hp from the factory, same weight as the Yaris. And believe me, Kevin, it is MUCH more fun driving a slow car fast, than driving a fast car slow. Until the guy with the lights on his roof gets upset, of course. Your Yaris is capable of breaking every speed limit in the country. If you're upset with the dickwad blowing you away at the lights, then wait till he gets to a corner and catch him up again. It'll piss him off even more. HTH |

And a year after I spent all that money, I traded it in on my Yaris and the dealer gave me a whopping $500 for it. |

Kevin, what is this fascination with racing people from stop lights?
I know you're young, but what satisfaction comes from this? You're either going to end up dead, in jail, or without a license. Just a matter of time. If someone wants to race, just ignore them. No one is forcing you to race. Just start out slow like you're thinking about your fuel economy. And if someone wants to race your Yaris, then they are pathetic. Even in my modded Yaris, I have yet to encounter anyone who wants to race me. It's just idiotic to do on public roads. If you were to get a faster car, than this inclination to race is just going to multiply and it's really going to get you in trouble. What are you going to do in a Mustang if a Corvette pulls up beside you? If you had a Corvette, what happens if a Ferrari comes along? And even if you were rich enough to have a Ferrari, what if a Bugatti Veyron were to show up? Get my point? |

It's not that I like racing, I've only done it twice. One time was around a curb and some v6 mustang from the 90's couldn't turn well enough so I just sway bared out of there lol
the second was that cavalier, racing isn't my thing I just like going fast sometimes and it turns into a race *shrug* atleast for them. And yeah I know cavaliers are a piece of crap thats my point ! Either way I'm trying to get those yellow oem fog lights off the guy for my sedan last attempt here I got 400 dollars in hand atm lol

FWIW.....
My first car at 16 years old was a 13 year old Chevy and my second car was 15 year old Chevy. When you are young, it's a time to have fun, go places with friends etc without worrying about scatching a new car. I had a blast with those cars and never once did I worry abouit scatching this or denting that etc. Real friends will not care about what you drive as long as it's safe. My advise...... keep the Yaris and enjoy life, You are only young once! Also, as you go through life remember one very important thing.......You should own a car, never let a car own you!

I don't get it. You can't walk into a store in Canada and buy fog lights.
This is a general question not directed at you Kevin. Can a Canadian chime in on this? Thanks |

You can get canadian tire fog lights but they blow and look hideous instead of OEM in the slots.
And honestly its partially why I wanna trade in, fog lights are huge for me and you pretty much need them here. But obviously you dont buy OR sell a car cause of shit like that.
