You know you've had the Yaris too long when...

I didn't see any other thread like this so here it is! This could also be "You know you're obsessed with the Yaris/You know you're a fan of the Yaris when..."

When you're annoyed that you can't see the gauge when sitting behind the driver of a "conventional" car.

When you comment on how the driver's car "only has 4 cup holders".

When someone asks you to get something out of their glove box and you automatically ask "Which one?"

When you find bigger vehicles to be way too unstable due to their "soft" and bouncy suspension.

When you just can't seem to wrap your head around someone actually being able to survive with less than 25mpg.

When others freak out when you try to park a much bigger vehicle than the Yaris because you actually have no space.

This weekend I had to swap cars with the wife so I was driving a fully loaded Jeep Compass all weekend. I must have said, "I hate this effing car!" at least two dozen times. The Fourmatic MB transmission is a POS and the mileage was unbelievable. The gas light would come on and I'd say, "WTF? Already?". I was so happy to get back to my Yaris!

When you get pissed that you cant fold down the back seat of another car to make more space for cargo.

when you take another car for a drive, try to make a tight U-turn, and end up halfway on the opposite sidewalk

When you want more than 41.5 mpg.

When you think the yaris actually looks really good.

After you put mods in, you think your yaris is faster than it really is.
