I'm curious why you feel a need to get ahead of other cars? Does it stroke your ego? Is it how you measure your self worth? Do you get a trophy for it? Does your significant other grant you instantaneous sex every time you pass another vehicle? Does it save a kitten in Japan?

I don't know where you live but out here in some parts of the Bay Area, driving defensively is necessary, let's say for survival reasons.

Seriously, sometimes you have to get out of the way FAST.

People drive like morons and you have to be real alert while merging on freeways, changing lanes, etc. Some @ssholes won't let you change lanes, period. They take advantage of the fact that they drive more powerful cars and act like bullies on the road.

Funny how this is a problem you experience mostly in small cars. When I drove the boyfriend's diesel, nobody ever got in my way on the road, in fact they'd make way for me when I signaled I wanted to change lanes. Imagine that. But when I'm in the Yaris, all of a sudden, they pretend they don't see me trying to merge in.

Most of the time I'm happy with my Yaris, in fact, for my purposes it's all I need, but sometimes when I go to SF, get on the bridge, or on certain freeways, I really wish I had a car slightly more powerful.

I had a lot of second thoughts about not getting the Matrix in the beginning, as a matter of fact. I'm over it now ;)

I'm curious why you feel a need to give a damn.... I'm curious why you feel a need to drive so damn slow? Does it stroke your ego? Is it how you measure your self worth? Do you get a trophy for it? Does your significant other grant you instantaneous sex every time you pass another vehicle? Does it save a kitten in America?


If you've got nothing positive to say, then shut the hell up. This place is for like minded individuals and if you just so happen to disagree with one of these individuals, keep it to yourself.

wow, wow, wow, hold the bus right there!!!

Just to be clear. This forum is a virtual community for people with a common interest, the Yaris. Nobody said anything about like-minded individuals ; there is a bit of a difference

As a matter of fact, the personalities and backgrounds of the people on this board are literally all over the map. You can't expect people to just think alike or shut up.

However, we do ask that you all puuuuleeeeez all try to make an effort to get along.

People will and do disagree on a lot of issues, and are free to debate with each other (isn't it what forums like this one are for, as well?) so long as the debates stays civil

Enuff said.
