I get no respect!

[DebbyM46227]

Around here there are a lot of men with good ol' boy redneck attitudes that drive large American-made pick-up trucks and hate anything Japanese. I learned when to antagonize them and when to back-off when I drove my Honda CRX in the late 80's. It's not much different now. I back off when they threaten me.

And yes, they try to follow me too close - but I think part of that is it only looks like they are closer, due to having no trunk. I hate that.

I don't drive this car aggressively because it's new and I don't want it wrecked. When it gets older, I tend to drive a little more "spirited" and I don't let people get away with anything.

Hi Deb....Treat your car when older the same as you do while its spanking new. Your car is stylish and will not fade into oblivion as the years change. Keep it waxed and the windows clean ....Yaris is so much fun...I sold my SC430 the convertible Lexus and got my Yaris...I wish I had known from the "get go" that I loved Yaris....would have saved a few bucks...thanks for replying....I now kinow...there are others who also GET NO RESPECT...

That's what I plan on doing, Jetfire, I love my Yaris so much more than the Cavalier I traded in to get it. I hated that Cavalier as soon as the new car smell faded.

When I drive my Yaris I get treated like Rodney Dangerfield.

+ 1. Did not happen when I drove the B/F 's huuuuuuuuuuge diesel but I soon as I got back to my car, then it started again.

I had the same problem in the CRX but not as much.

You just have to be twice as aware on the freeway for @ssholes d*che bags who don't know how to share the roads
