I had a couple of friends pick on me about my car. Saying it is a girl car or even a gay car. Well the only thing I say is if it is a girls car then good, that means all of the girls will like my car. And they are wrong when they say it is a gay car because it is my car, and I am NOT gay. I also like to brag to my friends that I always average 36 miles per gallon. So, it doesn't really bother me that much when people make fun of my car. I like it, and that is what counts!!! Oh yeah, a lot of people like my car also.

I've been asked if it's an electric car. When I tell them what kind of mileage I get, they think it's pretty good. I get 32mpg, but my driving is all city driving.

I've been getting more and more "what the hell car is that?!" with the 2013 lol. Once I go badge-less I think I'm going to create some sort of crazy story about how I won it in a Japanese game show or something.

Funniest thing that happened? A 30 something guy walks by my Yaris SE and keeps on staring. I ignore him, but the next thing that happens stuns me. The guy walks right into a moving cyclist and they both wipe out. Next thing I know, the 30 something guy, bloody-teeth and cut-up-hands and all, says:

"Is your Yaris okay (pointing to the cyclist). . . Be my witness (turning to me)?".

Long story short, the cyclist walked away with his mangled bike and the 30 something guy turned out to be a Yaris fan (albeit a silly one.).

I got flamed pretty hard on my local forums when I posted that I got a Yaris. Most of them because I traded in my 200HP Miata for it. So yeah, people were upset. Still, on the street I always catch somebody looking at the car since there are virtually no liftbacks in my area. The sedans are out in force but I've only seen one other liftback.

The funny thing is, everybody on my local forums (www.importatlanta.com) flame the hell out of me and the Yaris, but at the car meets, there's always a crowd around it. Makes me wonder...
