So after all the help they got from me they bought me the Yaris so I could just commute with it.

Thats how my story went. lol

wow really your a pro gamer? damn you got mad skills then, interested being a pro drifter?

Wait.. Isn't it the same, just without the pop up headlights?

Edit, yeah that was my point lol - superr clean

Jeff Lange 12-11-2011 10:53 PM

No, it's very different.

I mean the engine block is similar, but beyond that, not much at all.

The MKI is a bit rounder in the rear and has a larger look to it.

My sister rolled it over and it survived xD

Didn't trade it in until the ball joints went out on it. The truck is only my second car, and I plan on keeping it as a work/winter vehicle when I get the FR-S.

She was driving in a blizzard just 6 months after getting her license, made a right hand turn, slid on the ice and snow and rolled the car over into a gully.

She was fine (other than a nervous wreck,) had to climb out the passenger side door.

The firemen cut the battery cables when they got there and all the oil drained out the top of the engine. The side of the car was smashed up, but other than those things the car was fine. $4k in repairs later and it was perfectly fine.

This was way back in 2003 so almost 10 years ago lol.

I didn't get my drivers license until I was 16 but my first bike was a 1984 CR80R in 4th grade. Once I passed my test, my first car was a '80 Corona Stationwagon w/a 22R.

Baby blue, wagon (with obligatory foam matress), bench seat, column shift.
It was awesome, comfortably slept 3 (up to 5 uncomfortably!). Sold it for more than I paid for it, even after wrapping it round a tree.

Best ones on here....awesome stuff.

In 1989 I bought my first car...a '77 Chevy Nova for $1000. Can't find any pix of it...but this in green. Terrible POS, even with the V8...drove it for a few years then junked it.
