Lol, look at that Yaris fly. I still wonder why Toyota went with the Yaris as their rally car and not the Auris/Corolla hatch?

Because you had an ugly station wagon and wished you had a different ugly station wagon?

I inherited my mom's Legacy wagon. It's a great utility vehicle but handles like an old Russian farm tractor. I could see pimping one but performance mods? Well, that's just crazy talk.

I also inherited my mom's industrial sewing machine. She used to do custom upholstery work, mostly for small aircraft.

I wish I knew how to use a sewing machine. So many uses. That and tap dance. Always wish I could tap dance like the Rat Pack guys.


I need to get the headliner fixed in the Lotus. I think it involves a lot of stripping old glue. I don't want to do it.
