I see the guys driving around in their big pickups and think they must have penis envy to try to use a car to represent their masculinity. A car is a tool. You use it for a reason. Yaris is a smart choice for people who don't have to haul tools or freight. It gets one person around town or between towns in a very efficient and cost effective manner. If our government were as smart about spending money as we are about using a Yaris, we wouldn't the problems our country has.

Yeah it always cracks me up when i pass a huge extended cab truck that has a huge lift kit with giant rims and tires and just one person is driving it probably getting 6 miles to the gallon.

I'll tell ya, driving my Yaris around the past 2 weeks I have REALLY noticed all the huge gas-guzzling trucks around here. Driving the Trailblazer the past 2 1/2 years, I took notice of all the similar vehicles, but now they really stick out. NEVER again, I'm going for high-mileage now - it has really changed the way I feel about getting around my foothills home turf.

I'm Too Old To Care...

...about what people think. I should have got a car like this a long time ago...water under the bridge. The time is now, I love it. I have owned many cars over the years, many of them were small, last was a 2003 Trailblazer as I never had a bigger truck-like vehicle, so been there, done that. Most people don't even know what a Yaris is...just tell 'em it was a GIFT...and yeah, it's really fun to drive, and it gets around 60 miles to the gallon...THAT'LL shut 'em up I'm sure...
