I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but some Yaris owners only see their cars as....gasp....nothing more than economical transportation! Yes, it may seem odd to us, but there are some in this world who view our beloved machines as a way to get from point A to point B.

Since our cars are not as common as say the Beetle or Civic I am usually quite surprise when anyone actually knows what model it is. Normally, it is a comment along the lines of "nice car" or what kind of car is that?"

As such, the person in question may have been caught off-guard by your remarks. I wouldn't take it personally, nor would I get upset about it; but I can understand as I still get irked pretty bad when I wave to another Jeeper and I get nothing in return...

Cheers! M2

I agree. They probably do not feel the comradery that we do because they do not visit Yaris World, or they are really not into cars; the car is only transportation. It would be like one of us driving a Dodge Caravan and having somebody in another Caravan pull up and say "HI" like they knew us. It probably wouldn't occur to us what was happening.
