Just reserved my clown car

I just put a deposit down on a black 5dr LB auto. Has the power package with steel wheels and nothing else I believe. The dealer is holding it until they can take my "cash for clunkers" trade around the 23rd. As long as things go as planned I should have it before August.

I think he meant "clown car" in that it is a tiny car that fits a lot of people.

A friend of mine at church also has a Yaris sedan. His wife hates it, won't drive it, and calls it an "ugly clown car." I think she drives a big SUV of some sort. (They all look the same to me. Big ugly boxes.)

LMAO!! My wife calls my 5-door Yaris a "Clown Car" as well. She is going to HAVE to drive it on Saturday morning for the first time since we got it last month.

Yes, she too, has a massive SUV (a Ford Expedition).

I think the 3-doors are actually the clown cars.

A friend of mine who drives a MINI went out on the town a few years back with his wife for Halloween. They were both dressed as clowns. As they were getting in the car he says to her, "You do know what we are about to do, don't you?" Apparently the situation had not dawned on them 'tul that moment.

Well I like my "clown car".

One of the reasons I got the 2 door yaris is because it is a small car with a lot of room inside.

To me, the gas guzzling SUVs etc, are the real clown cars as I find it quit amusing how their owners are constantantly feeding them.

So, let them laugh, the joke is on them.

I wish I had a pic, but I saw a NAPA vehicle with the little yellow hat on top. Pretty
sure it was a white Honda Fit. Now, that looked like a clown car.

Just recently, I saw a white Yaris LB with a NAPA sign on the back, but
no yellow hat.

Of course, I can understand why they would put that on there.
