thats right, the teal 96 sentra is no more. she traded it in on monday for this, an 08 toyota yaris. seeing as she doesn’t buy new cars often (these were both bought brand new), don’t expect to see this thing doing burnouts/snow drifting for a long time. i will treat it nicely as its not on its last leg with an engine about to fall out. ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris01.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris01.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris02.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris02.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris03.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris03.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris04.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris04.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris05.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/624/yaris05.jpg) i’ve prob. driven it for about a half an hour, its really nice, the center cluster is weird and i’ll never get use to it since its not my main car. but besides that its nice to not have to worry about a car leaving your mom stranded since she goes out to buffalo twice a year by herself with my puppy. and thats promptly where she took it today, the second day she ahs owned it. picked it up yesterday at 10am. when she gets back i’ll give it a nice cleaning and a proper photo shoot…oh i’m thinking tien s-techs for a b-day present lol ---

That is one hell of an ugly layout IMO! i personally don’t really care about interiors, never got why people hate some and like others, honestly i like the interior, the center guage placement would take some getting use to, but its nice and simple, and the cupholders are fucking cool. ---

Nice! That cluster would deffinatly throw me off, the funny thing is it doesnet even look like its angled at the driver, it looks flush and straight like theres supposed to be someone driving in the middle I really dont know if thats something I could get used to… but you know what this means, Monster tack right in front of the steering wheel :ohnoes ---

I think those little guys are cute as hell, but the layout of the gauges is sort of weird. I don’t know if I would like looking over there all the time. Too small for me though. Jetta is small enough. ---
