I just made mine look more manly. I get alot of people asking me, "what kinda car is that?" When i say its a yaris, normal response is 'wow'

Although when I am in a conversation and say I drive a yaris, and they haven't seen it, they laugh and poke fun. At least I am comfortable with my sexuality to claim it.

I hang the electric cord for my block heater out the engine compartment lid.

Hot women come up to me and say "Is that an electric car?"

Then I hit on them like crazy!

A friend of mine teased me relentlessly after I bought my first one for it being a girls car, then shortly after I get the 2013 I get a phone call from him and it starts like this "Ok so you're never going to let me live this down, and you're going to call me a fag, but.....I'm buying a yaris" He now owns a 2008 5 door! A WINRAR IS ME

I see the guys driving around in their big pickups and think they must have penis envy to try to use a car to represent their masculinity. A car is a tool. You use it for a reason. Yaris is a smart choice for people who don't have to haul tools or freight. It gets one person around town or between towns in a very efficient and cost effective manner. If our government were as smart about spending money as we are about using a Yaris, we wouldn't the problems our country has.

Yeah it always cracks me up when i pass a huge extended cab truck that has a huge lift kit with giant rims and tires and just one person is driving it probably getting 6 miles to the gallon.

I'm Too Old To Care...

...about what people think. I should have got a car like this a long time ago...water under the bridge. The time is now, I love it. I have owned many cars over the years, many of them were small, last was a 2003 Trailblazer as I never had a bigger truck-like vehicle, so been there, done that. Most people don't even know what a Yaris is...just tell 'em it was a GIFT...and yeah, it's really fun to drive, and it gets around 60 miles to the gallon...THAT'LL shut 'em up I'm sure...

I'll tell ya, driving my Yaris around the past 2 weeks I have REALLY noticed all the huge gas-guzzling trucks around here. Driving the Trailblazer the past 2 1/2 years, I took notice of all the similar vehicles, but now they really stick out. NEVER again, I'm going for high-mileage now - it has really changed the way I feel about getting around my foothills home turf.

No such thing....

as a "girls car". Seriously, anyone who says that suffers from "size issues" and I'm not referring to issues having to do with the size of cars.

Oh, when Im not driving my Yaris, I'm riding my Vespa. And I don't mean just to Starbucks. I ride it to Death Valley, Arizona, Nevada, etc. Now THAT'S manly!

No, they don't since I'm the only guy at my work who can drive a 40' truck and hit anything!

Then I tell them that I as as much fuel in a year as they do in 4 months and they are amazed. All the fuel I've bought this year would fill an F-350 once.

The Yaris is a car girls absolutely love. It is great being a single guy driving one, it is a magnet for females.

And anyone that tries to make fun, well, yea, I get 32 mpg driving 250 miles a month. My best tank was 47mpg, followed by a 45 mpg, the last time I had to commute.

That will drop anyone's jaw.
