King Shark wanted to watch some music videos on my phone. Then we hopped in my tiny two-door Yaris and went careening up and down hills until we came to a spooky cult doing a ritual sacrifice, and we just drove right over them without slowing down.

the Toyota Yaris is my babygirl... (I have a 2002 one which I named Tilly)
can I learn some more about my car maybe?
Call yourself Dr. Pepper because you can!
I have made a helpful diagram to illustrate.
Very happy someone asked about the car me dad was gonna buy, so I get to show its funky optical-illusion digidash that, through some magic I must say still eludes me, is made to look a lot further than it is so your eyes don't have to refocus to glance at it.
And I know what you're thinking - "Wow, digidashes are so cool, if only there was a website that collected them all" and my dear where do you think I got this image from? ;)
But there's another cool thing about this image, speaking of it - what's with the coordinates in the lower display?
Well it turns out that's why that button at the bottom right says "NAVI" above it - for the low low price of an absolute fucking fortune that it seems no one was willing to pay you could get your Yaris fitted with a little underseat satellite navigation unit that fed off map CDs (because people who say things were better back in the day just don't remember the details that well) and gave you directions in return!
"But wait", I hope and pray you're thinking so I get to do the reveal, "where's the screen then?"
Well it's right there! What more screen do you need to be given a turn and a distance?
And that's not even all the cool tech that the Yaris ever got! In 2004, they made a special version called "Yaris Blue", available in blue, blue and blue, which offered steering wheel controls and what color was that tooth again ah right Bluetooth!
Hm. I wonder what website this image came from. Guess we'll never know.
Anyway, imagine life in 2004 with a decked out Yaris: electric windows, a sunroof, Bluetooth and satnav, a wicked digidash... what else did you need? Hell, what else do you need today?
Maybe a bit of space, but that was taken care of by the Yaris Verso that was introduced alongside it a couple years later! It married Toyota reliability and quality with a surprisingly spacious mini-MPV body style, with the only problem of being phantasmagorically ugly.
yeah. I don't think even in Japan you couldn't find one that looks decent.
Hm.
I'm gonna need to sample the public on this one, but the fact that they call it Fun Cargo there may risk swaying me over.
They also did other fun things with the Mk1 Yaris in Japan, like calling it Vitz, giving it a turbo version because of COURSE, and making it one of Gran Turismo's most famous surprise win cars.
You know how Gran Turismo has made many people, including some of y'all, fall in love with some cars? Yeah. I suspect it's done the opposite here.
It is worth noting, here, that Gran Turismo random car prizes were not influenced by what cars you already had. Do you see where I am going with this.
Links in blue are posts of mine explaining the words in question - if you liked this post, you might like those!
