Who cares what other people think. Of course a fuel efficient subcompact is going to get hate. They can shove it up their asses

+1. Let's just make it a habit of not showing each other, and check out the signature

BTW, never said I gave a damn what people think of my car, or anything else of mine for that matter. Just found it strange that I've had the car for 7 whole months now but people around town chose just this random ass day to sport the dirty looks. If it continues tomorrow I just might have to roll down my window and give them the "Ice Cube look":

Must go practice now

Could be because the moon is closest to earth this weekend than it will be at any other time of this year. Maybe it's causing them to act stupid all of a sudden?

Anybody else ever get this?

Full Moon! Make folks crazy.

I must say one thing though. My father always said, "You will always need a truck, even if just once in a while". For example, when hurricane Ike passed through and took my fence, I needed to borrow his F-150 to pick up the lumber.

I do agree, most live in an urban area and have no REAL use for a truck. But for us that live in suburban/rural areas, or actually work with our hands, then yes a truck is a useful tool (especially if its partially flooded).

Another thing, for us who work in the Texas Medical Center, we sometimes need a truck to get through the "manageable" floods so that the hospitals remain open.

why? · 01-12-2009, 02:29 PM

I doubt anyone here would say trucks are useless. They are just horrid commuting vehicles.

An 8 year old boy, who live next door to my parents, told me that I drive a "pussy car." His parents have Tahoe and an Audi Q7.

Other than that, I get lots of love for my choice of car.

ZING · 01-12-2009, 02:57 PM

No ones says much bad things about my yaris, not to my face at least hehe. But I am happy with the choice, turned out to be a good reliable university car.

its funny what kids pick up from their parents. my boss printed me up "POWERED BY PROCTOR SELECT" stickers one day and another boss busts my balls about changing the rubber band every 5000 miles......

Why do they set so much store on what car you drive? Fools.

I just don't understand where that mentality comes from, nor how anyone can feel that their vehicle - something made entirely from someone else's imagination, from someone else's resources and by someone else's hands - adds or detracts anything whatsoever from their own personal worth or status.

Great point, BailOut. IMO it's the American way of thinking, ..or the lack of it. Even though I still love this country, being the "Land Of The Free" has caused alot of us to become indulgent and impulsive (and I wanna say stupid too) with our money. It's like so many of us are conditioned to think "Hey I'm a person of lower class and I really want to get a big truck to show others how much better I am than them. I'll never go off-road, and I can't afford the payments, but it'll still make me feel big and important". Next thing you know, it's "Dirty Looks Sunday" followed by "Repo Day" a month later. So much for those new 22" ugly chrome rims...

Meanwhile the rest of us are living the smart-n-sensible life with our Yaris's and continue to thrive

Agree. My 5 year old nephew got a little over-excited when he first saw mine too and really wanted to sit in it, so I took him around the block . Even though he can't see out the windows, it's already his dream car
