I can has car now?

[kingandy]

I've decided to buy a new car!

I say new, it's second hand, five years old, 40K miles and one lady owner.

Green Toyota Yaris 1.3l five-door, and no doubt everyone will have an opinion on this, but I like it. Efficient for the commute, acceptable for the LARP haul, and open to passengers when the need arises. (Though the latter two may be mutually exclusive.) Also it is more of an upright car, the Accord is very low and laid-back and I think it might be bad for my back.

Won't be picking it up until next week some time but I will be dropping the deposit off this evening.

Toyota = very reliable
Yaris = very funky
Green = urgghh! Hope it's not the pale green one

he he

Nope - it's a dark green, not unlike my current one.

I might tell people it's British Racing Green.

With Toyotas not being known for their British heritage, people may question this...

Yeah, I've always liked the Toyota Yaris, lovely car. But dubious about green - depends on the shade, I'd have to see it

It looks like this!

Ooh, that's very pretty. Total approval. I may have to steal it

The Yaris is possibly the best small car our there. Just because I like my cars stupidly big and fast doesn't mean I think everyone has to drive a chavmobile ;)

Green cars are traditionally thought of as unlucky. Japanese engineering is traditionally not.
