Anyone got any of those comments from your friends?

Tell your friends you LOOOOOOOOOVE your car payments, and your gaz bill. Also tell them that your car is the last one the thieves will break into because there is nothing to steal. And if all that doesn't work and they still make fun, just tell them

I didn't have stereo in my last car because it got stolen and I never bothered to replace it. I have an iPod, though, so it was no biggy, just listened to MP3's instead. I like having a radio, though, gives you the news and stuff when you're stuck in traffic.

My friends know better than to criticize my new ride! but mostly I heard good things like "hey, congratulations, you finally got rid of that old POS you had before" and "yeah, it's a cute car!" or "Toyota's are good cars" and I even got a "the Yaris is ideal to drive around the Bay Area."

By the way, I'm not far from you! Might see you on the road! :)

By the way, my Yaris is a pretty basic model, with manual windows, and that doesn't bother me. The car I had before was old, so everything was manual and I'm quite used to it. Power everything is great but look at it this way, manual will never break down, so there, one more thing to tell your friends.

Amen to that!

The OP is happy with his car - it's his doofus friends that make him feel bad that he didn't spend more to get the power options.

OP - Just remember - friends come and go but the Yaris is forever!! Next time they bitch about it stop the car and boot 'em out. See how much they miss power windows then...
