School story....

Am going back to school after all these years, and bought a garage pass for my 2010 Yaris. I had to register the car online with the school. So I go online, go to the make drop box, select Toyota and then go to the model drop box and voila, no Yaris. They had the Echo in their database of Toyota vehicles, but no Yaris. Kind of funny, so I just chose Echo and went from there....
I guess this is just another reason for us Yaris owners to feel as if we're speciallllllllll.....

That's pretty funny. I bet the Edsel is in their top 10.

Better rethink how current that school is on the curriculum...the auto mechanics degree probably still teaches starting a car with a crank... JKJKJK!

LOL

You have to wonder what other vehicles are listed in the database still!
I can sort of see why Yaris owners de-badge - I think I'd like to RE-Badge...

That would really throw some folks off, including the people at the local Toyota dealer. De-Yaris & Re-Badge Toyota...: Belta, Cami, Picnic, Opa, etc. Heck, slap a Chevette emblem on the back - peeps behind you would be thinking, 'they still make Chevettes'? -

I DO think it would be funny to add a few Toyota 'Liter' (Litre) emblems on the front quarters, or just one on the back (4.6, 4.3, 4.7) Only the true car buffs would notice & think WTF? That things got a V6, V8 in it?????
