I was just at the mechanics and we where looking under the hood in the parking lot when another customer came up (btw he had a pretty cool WWII era JEEP) he looked at my engine and asked "Didnt those used to be called Singer? ... me and the mechanic just looked at each other not understanding the comment .... and the other guy then said "ya know like the sewing machine" and laughed! It was all in good fun but It defiantly was a first for me lol

The Yaris looks to me like half a car. Like someone forgot to add the rear end to the car.
It fits into a lot of parking spaces though. All of the sudden I am seeing half cars everywhere. I saw a "cube" a few days ago. They are making some vehicles square now. It's hip to be square. |

When I had my car valet since there was no street parking available, the attendant said he loves small cars because they're easy to park. No would would be laughing trying to find a parking spot on the residential streets of San Francisco.

When I first got it:
"thats cute" "is it a PRIUS?" (really a f***** PRIUS?!?) After drop, rims, fogs and other stuff: "wow... it looks good" "it looks much better" I catch a lot of people staring and since I have the Vitz badges I get the infamous question about 10x a day: "Whats a Vitz?" I love my jellybean or what my mom calls it "hot tamale" (since its red) |

Yesterday I was parallel parking in a tiny Yaris sized spot, and an older lady with one of those 4 legged things stroke victims use to get around was standing at the curb the whole time. I thought maybe she was having a problem.....and was maybe going to topple over or something, but when I got out, it turned out she was wanting to ask me about the Yaris, thought it was pretty cool, etc., then she moved out at a pretty good clip.
I love getting looks from guys in jacked up pickups, like "you pussy", knowing I'm getting triple or more their MPG, and have no need to prove my machismo with my rig, screw 'em. "Pregnant roller skate" works for me. |
