When you bone in another car way too comfortably without having to get into scrunched up positions!

>.<!

[detroiter]

When you start getting comfortable how the car turns and you starting taking left and right turns like an indy car racer, faster then much more expsensive cars, yet the car seems to love every moment of it and doesn't feel unstable.

[m911gt]

when you start thinking it would be impractical to have a car any larger than the Yaris for daily driving

when you get excited about twisties

when you can't wait to take it to the dealership and show off your latest additions

when all of your friends know you have the only Yaris in town

when you know the curb weight stock and after modification

when you agree with your friends that it can handle better than their 250hp+ vehicles

when you know you can get any parking space you want, regardless of the angle or size of cars on either side of your space

when you no longer think it looks really strange

when you start getting excited about other subcompacts coming to the US

when you have no problem admitting it looks pretty plain and "cute" when just off the lot

when you would rather spend time and money making a 1.5L "fast" rather than saving up money to buy something that is much faster stock

when you don't care what any other car buffs think about the little econobox you drive because you know it's different, unique and fun as hell to own

[m911gt]

when you get excited about putting special lug nuts, valve stem caps, license plate bolts, or dome/map light bulbs on

when you think you know more members on YW by their first names rather than by their screen name :)

when you talk to your friends about people who own a car similar to yours but live on just about every other continent than the one you live on

[m911gt]

when you write a DIY or help someone through an install and you feel proud of them for completing a modification but you've never met them in person

when you drive over a state away to meet up with people whom you've never met just because they own the same kind of car

when you go to a Toyota specific car meet and show up with 5 other Yarii forcing the show to announce 2009 will include a "Yaris only" class for the first time ever

when you can remove all of your passenger seats in 30 minutes or less, using only hand tools

when you know how many bolts it takes to hold your passenger seats in place

[cali yaris]

When you walk out the front door, take a long hard look.... and drive your other car.

[rstb88]

^ Thats too morbid :( You know you've had a Yaris tooo long when you dream you've lost something in the various glove compartments and can't find it.

[TinyGiant]

when 50% of your conversations with your wife start with .. "Oh on yaris world they......."

[1NZYaris1]

You know when your yaris crazy ,when you hope behind the wheel of
another car and look at the centre dash looking for the cluster panel.

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.

Amazing!

Great thread mate! ^5

When you discover that five cars can fit in your three car garage.(My wife and I both own LB's)

[BailOut]

... when you just don't say anything when people see you and 3 carpoolers come out of the 3 door LB along with laptops, backpacks, purses, lunches, etc. and they ask, "How do you fit all that in there?".

... when people approach you while you're busy loading a bunch of snowboards and skis onto your adapted bike rack to tell you how impressed they are with your "little" car and you just don't understand what the fuss is all about.

[TinyGiant]

when you light up inside when people ask you, what kind of car is that?!

ROFLMAO!

...guilty.

[marcus]

whenever you see a yaris you start swearing due to yarisworld got hacked recently.. lolz.

also when you smoke 3 cigarrettes in a row so just you can stand and stare at your yaris for 20 minutes..

[ozmdd]

When the Z4 in the parking lot looks "too long!"

When you consider parking head-in, even though the spaces are parallel.

When you seriously consider taking your Yaris to the autoX in the back of a full-size pickup instead of trailering. (No it won't fit, but I admit to thinking about it.)

When you reasoned that if a motorcycle can ride in the HOV lane with only the driver, the Yaris should be able to also.

When you get better MPG's than a Harley.
