I can attest to the effectiveness of these two.

One of my roommates drives a bright purple R33 Skyline, with flames stiched into the seats & glovebox and a black carbon fibre bonnet... You get the picture.

He had it for a month before it caught fire, at the moment it's off the road with a leaking clutch line... And he still takes the piss out of my car, saying it's gay and all that crap. I ask him whose car caught fire, if that doesn't shut him up I ask him why he CHOSE to pay $16000 or so for a PURPLE skyline - when I got mine for nothing. If he's still having a go, I just say that I have half a 45L tank left and I've done 400km since filling it up... First time I said that his jaw hit the floor.

One time he put his foot down and raced around me coming back from rugby practice, being a smartarse (after putting heaps of shit on it as we were leaving). So, I figured I'd get him back and screamed around the back way into the carpark and stole his spot - he was just turning in when I appeared and went straight in instead. I just got out and said that it's not the car, but the driver, no-one stopped giving him shit for a week. What's better is I live on campus so everyone on the team was there to witness it...

The other rode a ZX-10R, which was a very nice bike but all I had to do was ask what he does when it rains and he'd shut up. Now he has a Hyosung GT650R, while it's nice bike (I'm looking at buying one at the end of next year), it's off the road at the moment so neither of them can say anything about reliability. And he still gets wet when it rains.

Oh, and I have a fairly hot '64 Holden EH that I hillclimb and I gravel rally an old Datsun so I just challenge them to a (legal) race and they back down pretty quick... Even though their machines should blow the doors off mine.

My friend used to make fun of my car all the time. Last month he said he wanted to buy one himself. Joking like that stems from insecurity -- like when someone makes fun of being gay all the time -- it's usually them...

My vote is on, "Hey remember when gas was almost $4.00 a gallon last year?" That'll make 'em squirm a little at least.

I've reminded several folks of that, and asked "How long do you think it'll be before it's back there?"

I got asked the other day, "You're not one of those tree huggers, are you?" Answered with the above.

It comes with the territory. Years ago there was always bashing of others Ford, Dodge, or Chevy trucks at lunch time. Men especially take great pride in their cars/trucks. To feel better about their ride they must degrade every one else’s. Every dog has their day and they will be asking what kind of mileage you get.

I cant educate the world. Let them learn the hard way every time the pull up to the pump.

[why?]

you cannot overemphasize how much the girls love the yaris.

I would agree with that. Tell them it's a chick magnet

[Justme]

Tell them to find another ride.

"I drive it b/c i like it.... that and i don't have to compensate for something i don't have"

Only say that if you really want to be an a-hole. Said that to a friend a few years ago when i drove a civic he was PO'd. Plus the fact that i said to him in front of his girlfriend, and all she did was giggle. I guess i hit a nerve

what do the rest of you say because i'm sure i'm not the only one who has ever come across this... and quite frankly, i would love to see the end of this from them.

there's lots you can say... (I've never had this problem, people sometimes make comments about safety however... but never blatant remarks to hurt or put me down).

1: Tell them they are Tools and it is sad when "friends" have to resort to putting down a person's material possessions by making degrading comments about gender/sexuality/etc just so they can feel good about themselves.

2:Tell them their argument is flawed because a "insert their derogatory adjectives and nouns here" is somebody who is a follower and can't stand up against a crowd without giving up thier values (like you have been doing for sometime).

3: Tell them they are tools for not respecting your wishes to stay away from the yaris... and that you've confronted them on it multiple times already.

One of my favorites...
4: You said you are in college... if this ever happens on campus... walk your ass (and theirs too if they will follow you, without telling them what you are doing) directly to the students rights & responsibilities office (might be known as something else like student affairs office. Then file a formal complaint of harassment. It'll piss your friends the fuck off... but it will also show them that you got some balls... and that you actually have them by their teeny tiny lil balls. Colleges take that stuff seriously... I once figured it out the hard way. (It won't show up on their police records, but will probably put them on academic probation, and they'll most likely have to do some sort of restitution/work as well), maybe even sit and talk with a mediator for an hour or so (gawd that was hell... that guy just kept saying "I don't think you really feel sorry for what you did, or know the full consequences of your actions."

Get some new friends, as yours seem to suck.
