if you want to drive interstate, you should get something with a minimum 2 litre engine.. the little 1.5 can make it but it'll be taxing on the car...
I saw the online brochure for the Yaris and apparently, one can collapse the rear seats to get a much larger boot space, which I intend to do. I shall only be driving myself around anyways, because I won't feel comfortable driving anyone else around until my driving skills are good, which will take years of experience for someone like me.
I'd hate it if someone else got injured riding in the car I drove, y'know. 
So, for one person, the Yaris is a perfect size. Don't think I'll be driving interstate much, at least, I won't be covering too much distance in a single day, because I fall asleep easily, and don't think I can do all-day, all-night drives.
In any case, if I DO take my Yaris for a drive interstate, I will want to stop at idyllic countryside areas and rest in the B&B's and take photos around the countryside. It shall be a lovely, leisurely drive! 
Tonight, I just lugged home almost A$100 worth of groceries and etc from Cole's.
Biangz... imagine if I had a family here, die man! -
10.20pm
i think i should go back to sleep

like i said previously.. i don't have problems driving manualbut I have KNEE problems due to repetitive use of clutch, which gets worse if I kenna caught in jam and non stop need to pump the clutch on and off. Right now, I spend about at least 2 hours duration of driving every day.
Not sure if its becos I'm too short or what. But I have tall friends who kenna this too.

I don't know why they don't give better subsidies for environmental friendly cars!!!
For that matter, I don't know why they don't build bicycle friendly paths!!!
because green cars burn less petrol.. and less petrol = less taxes collected...
cynical but i think it's true...

yeah
Green Car rebate still not so attractive
even facilities still...

I don't have such good coordination and fast reflexes, so I'm going to stick to the Auto.

"Meetings are all about action. At a meeting, participants interact and share ideas and thoughts with one another. They give and receive feedback on various issues. They feel comfortable about expressing their views and suggestions.
Meetings are for people who care and share, for people to work towards a common goal, and for people to keep the ties that bind."I mean the writing is as if its for a student. but its actually for working adults!
Err.. what is the word that describes this??!! It's at the tip of my brain but I can't pull it out.
Its not 'patronising'

I think guys often just dump their coins wherever!
I used to have a boyfriend who let me have all the coins when we went out. In the end, I amassed quite a lot of $$! -

talking about coins, i just put all the coins into a container..
last year, the coins equated to $400
that's in the kitty now.. and each day, i add $10 to it..
i figure, at the end of this year, maybe another $400 and $3,660, i'll get about $4,500

Hmm... do you think we can do a Hangman thread? Wonder if it will work...

If you're in Australia, you'd get even more because there's the A$1 and A$2 coins.

yeah.. could be.. i'd be disgusted by the size of the lower denomination coins and chuck them in a container or into my bag whenever i get any coins
