I've noticed that some people resent being passed by a Yaris. It's some sort of macho thing that little cars do not pass bigger cars. I've had a few jerks try to block me, but it's still rare because I know how to get around them.

Dirty looks? Maybe during the summer when gas prices were high.

Really? I was getting compliments during the gas hike.

Guess some people don't wanna admit they made a wrong move getting a truck or SUV, so they look down upon those of us who made the smarter move

I just drive slow as hell and confirm their expectations. I stay out of the passing lane and hardly every touch my brakes on a 20 mile commute.

When you drive the speed limit, you constantly have to brake, change lanes, speed up, slow down. I just have to worry about being rear ended by idjuts lost in the ozone talking on their damned cell phones.
