Yaris Sighting, Not pleasant.
So I pull into a local gas station and boom, there is a white liftback with wheels and window tint
 Of course I was a little excited since nobody in Oklahoma seems to think a yaris is worth fixing up  So I stop as i'm passing him and he stops and rolls down his window. I'm like "sup man, looks good" and he goes "what are you doing?" all asshole-like then drove onto the street.I'm thinking, "Trying to say hi to the 1 out of other 4 people in the state who own this car and has a common interest in fixing it up? "Anyways, I was expecting a "man, your yaris is sick" or something like that. Not a blank "wtf" stare. Thought I would share this. And if you get on YW mr. white liftback with wheels

やりすぎだ～

I'm sure this person is definitely not on here. Maybe he thought you were gonna do a "drive_by" :D but you surprised him with a "drive-by-compliment" and that totally threw him off.
With the awesome brushwork on your car, he should be the one saying "looks good"! |

It would be so funny if someday he discovers this website, becomes a member and somehow reads this thread and realize it was about him.

Similar thing happened to me a month or so ago. I saw another Carmine Red hatchback cruising towards me (the first and so far only other Carmine red Yaris I've seen) so I honked and waved. I got the same puzzled 'WTF?' look too.
Not everyone is a car guy, I guess.

I pulled into a parking lot one time and parked next to a silver Yaris exactly like mine, and as I was walking to the bank a girl who was walking out just stared and smiled at me as we passed each other and I was completely confused, especially since I was with my girlfriend.
Then as I went into the bank and looked out the doors I saw her get into the silver Yaris next to mine and I was like "Ohhhhh!" She must have seen me park next to her in my Yaris. |

Its a mean dangerous world in the eyes of a lot of people these days and strangers are scary. I suspect that might be the source of a lot of the negativity.

Some people just want to use you for your Yaris.
 He probably thought thats what YOU were all about too. Its nothing personal. Get over it already!
