All so one man can compensate.

What a shame.

Wow, that's one of the most arrogant and ignorant (not to mention STUPID) comments I've found on this board so far. Congratulations on sounding like a moron, with your "holier-than-thou" attitude.

Just because you're too pathetically poor to afford driving something with REAL POWER, doesn't mean you're justified in bashing on people who own REAL PERFORMANCE VEHICLES.

My wife and I have a 1993 Camaro Z28 and a 1998 Trans Am (like the one in this thread). Both cars have QUADRUPLE the horsepower that your almighty Yaris is cranking out, and both get good gas mileage for their power output. I haven't measured my mileage lately (because my Camaro has been retired to "weekend toy" once I bought my Yaris), but it's in the low 20's on the highway (God bless the T-56 six-speed tranmission), and I know for a fact, my wife's Trans Am gets as good as 30mpg on the highway. Burning an alarming amount of gas? Ha! As if! The dropping fluids comment is a joke as well. Way to stereotype something you know nothing about. My 93 Camaro (a 14-year old car) has about 146k miles, no loss of compression, runs like new, and has ZERO LEAKS. My wife's car, a 98 Trans Am,has 116k miles and also has ZERO LEAKS. Both cars are at DOUBLE the miles you claim they "drop fluid" at...what do you have to say about that?

As for compensating for something, maybe YOU would think that. I'm not trying to bash you too hard here, but I own an "American" muscle car, and I'm not "compensating" for anything...my wife will confirm that one. As for my wife, please, tell me, how in the hell is SHE compensating?
