I would like to know the answer.

I'm guessing not enough blue tarps in garage is not the answer?

If staples over penetrate even slightly they pull thru easily. If shingle gets any lift from wind the staple will pull thru.

Staples are bad idea all around for shingles.

There is a reason roofing nails have oversized head and warnings not to over penetrate.

The .gov answer is to use even more staples to prevent this from happening because they bought 19 billion of them at a reduced cost.

Seriously, who would drive a Yaris?

I kinda figured someone had a junk car and decided to shoot at it before scrapping it.

TOYOTA YARIS

The Toyota Yaris is a fantastic economy vehicle, but it has no rush, the gearing is setup for economy rather than acceleration. The TTS Performance Parts Ltd supercharger conversion is the solution. By doubling the power available the car is able to deliver great fuel economy and fantastic acceleration for those times when you want it.

0-60 goes from a pedestrian 14 seconds to an impressive 8 seconds letting you surprise many larger sportier cars. The car will become capable of overtaking with ease using the long gears and the power available to zip past.

Thanks to the efficient drive system of the Rotrex supercharger economy, when cruising, is virtually unchanged.

PRICE

TTS can supply a mechanical kit for £3150 +vat, or supply and fit for £3650 +vat. For the fuel mixture to be mapped an AEM FIC is required, which TTS can supply and fit for £500 +vat.

There was no blood in the car, but you could see where bullets made second and third impacts after the windshield.
