maybe some background would be nice.
my first car was a burgundy Geo Metro. we sometimes called it the goose egg.
that kind of spurred my name for the new car. it is a 2008 Yaris S with just under 18K on the clock. my hope is to keep the miles off of it so it will only be driven maybe one day a week. I have already ordered an ultragauge for it along with some other stuff that I just wanted.
a buddy of mine does autocrossing and he really wants me to get into it with him. I doubt I will autocross it but I may take it out for a spin once or twice just to see.

to clarify, I wanted a NEW 5 door one but they are made in japan and I was told that it would take 4 months to build and deliver. I was told that before the earthquake and tsunami hit over there. afterwards I was directed to look at other vehicles as they didn't know when production of the yarii were going to start back up.
mine is a Yaris S with a manual trans. it does have the power stuff on it but I mostly bought it because it was a manual and black. I like the color. I did want the 5 door but I guess the 3 will have to do. that was my compromise as I don't want to wait a year (or really who knows how long) to get a car.
