It's a 2007 Toyota Yaris, hatchback, standard, blah blah car information. I bought it in the beginning of March, and the dealership said it would arrive March 29th. It didn't, but they gave me a loaner for free until my car arrived. On Monday, they called, and I spent about 18,500 Canadian dollars (9,219.07 GBP or 13,324.34 EUR or 16,127.97 USD) on the vehicle. It's a great little car that provides lots of leg and head room for this tall gentleman. Here are some pics I took of it:


That's my old vehicle in the background, a '92 Dodge Spirit that runs like shit, but has no rust.


I put a new knob on the stick shift because the factory knob chaffed my palm. This one was less than thirty beans, so no worries!


Still haven't insured it, but that little thing on the passenger side is the paper saying I have to have insured the vehicle in seven days. In my province, driving without insurance is highly illegal.

Nice car. Batteries included?

Nah, I just kid. But, is is as economic and environment-friendly as it look?

Do you have the habit of naming inanimated objects that belong to you? If so, what's the blue boy's name?

The blame is on you, G.

I just want to know if it'll stand up to the worst of the T-Can in December?

What is a T-Can, Keggers?

I googled it, and it only brought up a photo of a trashcan, and there´s nothing on wikipedia.

I've never had a car.

I did have two guinea pigs once though.

I don't see how this relates. Did you by any chance tie them under your shoes and used them as a means of locomotion? Because that'd be cruel.

Not if they were very strong, very helpful Guinea Pigs.

Matt: that's a nice machine. What does it do?

Locomotion by guinea pig! No pollution, no wars for oil! Several pairs of these pull my carriage when I go out in public.

Hehehe. Recently, a friend and I did a battle and tried to one-up our pics by posting other more "frightening" animals. I started with a kung fu hamster with a morningstar as a hand, she retaliated with angry Scrat, squirrels and sniper kittens. That´s how I pulled that hamster out of my sleeve so fast.

You've been keeping Hammy secreted about your person, Misto? Neither wonder he's so pissed off.

Mistoffelees The T-Can is also known as the Trans-Canada Highway. Some damn bad drivng in the winter.

Aha! Thank you, Keggers.


You've been keeping Hammy secreted about your person, Misto?

That took me a second to figure out. Just like when Hammy said that sleeve is his pet peeve.


That mental picture will haunt me forever.

Yes! My evil work is done, now I can sleep soundly!

So I insured it today, under my mother's name in order to make it as cheap as possible for me. Now I have shiny new license plates to attach to the machine that goes "ping!"
 
 
All Acting Regiment
03:53 / 13.04.06
Yeah. So as I said before, what does it do, exactly?

it's one of those portable pot-smoking rooms, for when mom and dad (the man) wont let you express your true self through the medium of interpretive cancer gathering.
it can also double as a more general den of vice if one opens the 'gateway' far enough.

I wish I had a rodent driven vehicle.

All I have as of yesterday is a bike with one good tire. Shall cost me $30 at Cyclepath to get them to give me a new tire and tube. Their labour costs are insane.

I want to be a moderator on every forum in the world, and then when I get a van I'll have this airbrushed on the side.

...and so I got a new tube, but because the guy at the bike store didn't notice that there apparently is a BIG CHUNK OF METAL stuck through my tire, the new tube ripped as well...and I need to take the bike back today.

There are days I DO wish I had a car.
