How Did You Buy Your '12 Yaris?

[TPA5]

I was just wondering how other people came to own their 2012 Yaris.

For me personally, I hadn't even heard about the 2012 redesign. I was going into my local Toyota dealership to look at a Corolla, because I owned one before it was totaled in an accident and I liked it so I figured I would just replace it. Well I walked in, and what greeted my sleep-deprived eyes? Just the sexiest little machine I had ever seen sitting their, doors open and beckoning me forward with a evil little smirk. Aggressive headlights, a bratty-looking grille, hard lines cut down the body, and sporty interior. What majestic 4-wheeled method of transportation was this? I looked at the sticker; a Yaris?! Those adorable little egg-shaped wonders now came in an aggressive, modern, and almost (dare I say) tough redesign? I was drooling on the floor and sold before the car even bought me dinner. The salesman came over (he's a friend of the family) and said, "Grhjs vjbd hhag asfj?". Apparently I was too busy admiring the lines of the car and fantasizing about taking the 5-speed out for a spin and didn't catch a single word of what he said. I tore myself away from the car for a moment, long enough for him to say again, "Let me guess; you want the Yaris?".

Turns out they had gotten 3 Yarii in the showroom over the past month, they were slowly trickling in from Japan. As we went over paperwork he grinned and said that they hadn't been able to keep a Yaris in the showroom more than 3 days before it was gone. Turns out I came in exactly on day 3 of that Yaris' existence on the floor. I bought it without so much as a test-drive (lunacy, I know). The next day all paperwork was done and the car sat outside in the crisp February air. I eased myself behind the seat and started the engine. Breathing deep the euphoric scent of new car, I put it into first and rolled out of the dealership. As I drove home I thought about all the wondrous things we would do together; for if we had each-other, I could tackle anything. Love at first sight.


....Err, anyway. That was longer than I intended. My bad. What about you guys?
