Re: Our new-to-us Yaris launching in the driveway
That's cool Anthony. Just added a grocery getter here also. Turbo already added. 2013 VW Jetta sport wagon TDI with the DSG 6 speed automatic . 140 hp and 236 lbs/ft torque. I think it is about 9.6 sec 0 to 60. First fill up it averaged 33.8 mpg and second 34.92 and that is around town. We are hoping for 45+ on the highway.
Easley 15 and I are planning to drive down to Clayton GA to give you guys some support next Saturday for the 1/2 mile event. Thinking about trying to get a few more Crossfires and make a GTG out of it. Can you, John or Steve give us some more info about when to get there, food and drink options at the site and if we will be able to park with you guys.Thanks

Re: Our new-to-us Yaris launching in the driveway
I'll bet the neighbors had a sigh of relief when the Yaris showed up in the driveway......no more open pipes, tire squeel, clouds of smoking tires.
Could always see if this one will make it to market. Yaris Hybrid R version Rated at 400hp.

Off with the hudcaps and on with some decent wheels. I think that's about it for this thing.

The new wheels actually make this "pocket rocket" somewhat stand out. A great looking car doesn't always need to be a "tire smoker".

Re: Our new-to-us Yaris launching in the driveway
My daughter had a little bit of a fender-bender in the Yaris last night. Luckily she's not badly injured and the little car held up well. Actually, it's still drivable so I'll likely pull the bumper cover, strighten the hood a little, and let her drive it until it's repaired. Kid's gotta get to work, and I'm no Taxi.

Sorry to hear that Anthony and glad she is ok. I am sure you will get it repaird and on the road for half of what the body shop would charge. That's your MO
