It looks like it was from a Spanish PR event, so I went for it. I'll report back if I end up missing a kidney :p

brandonblt2 · 01-09-2015, 12:48 PM

looks legit to me they have a ton of people with pics linked to what appears to be valid instagram accounts if you scroll down

JRobes · 01-09-2015, 01:06 PM

yeah, all the "user" submitted pics convinced me. I'll be moving out of my apartment within a year anyways.

edit: one of the owners called his Yaris "Tardis". good stuff

That is part of what makes me nervous actually. Throw 10 on there and I tend to believe it but when the page just keeps reloading with more then...
Could be perfectly legit but it is setting off a lot of alarms in my head.

I'm brave/foolish, and ordered "EightSix" just to see if it would work. It says its on its way.

Tcoat · 01-09-2015, 01:14 PM

Couldn't order if I wanted too as there is no Canada options for address.

If I get them, I won't use them, but maybe stick them in a box with other stuff I've modded on the car.

Possibly legit. Main downside is that your info is gonna be sold all over which will probably increase your spam mail quite a bit.

Seeing as how it doesn't really ask too much information, I figure it's worth a shot.

This is real, its just an advertising campaign to get people to talk about the brand and post photos via social media as free advertising and then combine it all on there site in a social aggregator. Toyota realizes the biggest target market for people looking to buying a car are millennials and the easiest way to get them to talk about toyota is to give them free shit and share online

Tenament05 · 01-09-2015, 01:34 PM

Snagged up 'Toyobaru'. Sent it to my friend's address. Muahahah

BBYZILA · 01-09-2015, 01:41 PM

Nice, thanks OP.

got Toyobaru for my FRS and "Elsa" for my winter beater RAV4.

Elsa as in "the cold never bothered her anyway"

she sits outside while my frs sits in the garage.

I have an account just for that, oddly enough called JUNKnMAIL@.....

It's a legitimate email address so I can check it, and when it starts getting too bad I delete it and replace the "n" in the middle with the next number in sequence.

Dave-ROR · 01-09-2015, 02:16 PM

since it's just a name and address I did it, not a ton they can do with that. :shrug:

Whois is interesting.
