Do you care what people think about your car? - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tomato* · 07-29-2010, 01:43 PM

OK, this should be fun.

How much do you care what people think about your car?

On a range of 1 to 10, 1 being very little and 10 being very much so.

Explain why. Make it interesting :)

Or go vote in the poll and explain why....

I think the poll will take multiple choice. Poll is visible.

Have fun! ;)

I really dont care what people say, bcuz everyone has there own style from racing to just having the car deck out, its your world and everyone is intitled to their opinions, but as long as they dont say that the car looks wack then I have to run them over a few times to get the job done J/K lol

*tomato* · 07-29-2010, 02:01 PM

am I missing any options in this poll?

Sound off...

big lo · 07-29-2010, 02:04 PM

You good T.

*tomato* · 07-29-2010, 02:06 PM

cool. seem to have trouble with the multiple choice here. Oh well.

big lo · 07-29-2010, 02:08 PM

Its simple and straight to da point, its good.

UTVitz · 07-29-2010, 02:09 PM

now if this were a bmw or porshy forum, wow, would the vanity spill over

eTiMaGo · 07-29-2010, 02:23 PM

I don't really care... I mean, I certainly appreciate compliments and advice/constructive criticism, but when people ask me why I spent so much money on a Yaris when I could have bought a bigger car, that's when I don't care

Psych 101, so fun.

I don't care. the Yaris HB is a genius decision for what I want it for:

a runabout. period.

I have the most bada** offroad vehilce ever put together 'stock' also,
and those 2 vehicles, the Yaris and 99 4runner, are purpose-purchased specifically
for what they can and cannot do.

cars to me are not status symbols or about 'image'.

a nice set of fat quads and calves from bike racing is my 'image'

I suppose those who care about the Yaris 'image' ...I don't wanna
know them personally

KCALB SIRAY · 07-29-2010, 02:47 PM

On the way to work today, a person driving a nice GTI flagged me down and gave me a big thumbs up and looked my car over a few times. Its all about respect around here and if you respect a "car guy" then you will get respect if you want it or not.

*tomato* · 07-29-2010, 02:53 PM

That's interesting. Clearly people care because these threads keep popping up ("people say my Yaris is "cute"

etc...)

I don't care because my ex was constantly complaining about my old CRX and how it was dangerous, and unreliable, and this or that... and I should buy this or that instead...

so over the years I got so used to it ... now I'm immune to any comments about my car except compliments ;)

One time some lady at the grocery store's parking lot told me "hey that's really fire engine red" like it's a bad thing, and I said "oh yes, that's what we use in the Fire Department to go get groceries, can't drive the engine up here" and she didn't know if I was joking or not... I get a few snide comments now and then but mostly compliments.

*tomato* · 07-29-2010, 02:57 PM

KCALB !! I guess multiple choice does work after all ;)

KCALB SIRAY · 07-29-2010, 02:58 PM

=) thats why I chose all of them. they all apply

I don't want an iPhone and I've been told it looks like a bunny, so her name is Bunny.

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-29-2010, 03:16 PM

I don't really care, but I don't like it when people call it cute (might be a guy thing, not sure). It doesn't make sense if people call a car "gay", and I find it offensive since I have gay friends. And I like the look of people's faces when I tell them that I've gotten 53 mpg before. lmao!

KCALB SIRAY · 07-29-2010, 03:17 PM

I've never had one person say to me they dont like my car. Even when it was stock.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
