"Where's the rest of your car?"

EPyarisdriver · 11-17-2011, 12:02 PM

When I first got it:
"thats cute"
"is it a PRIUS?" (really a f***** PRIUS?!?)

After drop, rims, fogs and other stuff:
"wow... it looks good"
"it looks much better"
I catch a lot of people staring and since I have the Vitz badges I get the infamous question about 10x a day: "Whats a Vitz?"
I love my jellybean or what my mom calls it "hot tamale" (since its red)

^^ owners at my job refer to my car as THE VITZ or VITZ MAN....

Don't know if it's been posted before but my GF and her cousins call it "the roller skate".

Killchain · 11-19-2011, 10:37 AM

As I was stepping into my 2drHB, two guys pasted me and said. "Isn't that a girls car." I said yes, its easier now to get a girls phone number..................

One of my GF's co-workers offered me rubber bands to fix the engine for if and when things break :p

one of my wife's friends thinks its cool and calls it the "escape pod"

Yesterday I was parallel parking in a tiny Yaris sized spot, and an older lady with one of those 4 legged things stroke victims use to get around was standing at the curb the whole time. I thought maybe she was having a problem.....and was maybe going to topple over or something, but when I got out, it turned out she was wanting to ask me about the Yaris, thought it was pretty cool, etc., then she moved out at a pretty good clip.

I love getting looks from guys in jacked up pickups, like "you pussy", knowing I'm getting triple or more their MPG, and have no need to prove my machismo with my rig, screw 'em. "Pregnant roller skate" works for me.

JumpmanYaris · 11-24-2011, 11:58 AM

When I first got it people would ask if its a new PRIUS

now they ask me what is it and I tell em a Yaris and they won't believe me

refotsirk · 11-24-2011, 03:21 PM

I got the Big one ton truck guy park next to my Yaris 4 door and he
says," My rotors are bigger than your wheels".
And your point is.....................?

thepartsmancometh · 11-26-2011, 05:45 PM

yep, gotta love the people with giant trucks. They have that attitude with my wrx too.

wait, I STILL get better fuel economy AND I'm way faster.....hmmmm

Shortly after I bought my Yaris I was speeding home from the grocery store when a highway patrol passing flipped his blue lights on an pulled me over. He was very nice and asked me for the usual credentials. When he returned with only a warning ticket he started asking questions about the car. We chatted for a while when he suddenly looked at the left dash and looked confused when he didnt see a speedometer. I think he maybe wasnt sure if it really had one. I turned on the key and the instrument panel lit up. He just grinned from ear to ear.

Idahotom · 12-16-2012, 07:05 PM

I was cruising down the interstate the other day and noticed an unusually small something coming from the other direction. I kept my eye on it wondering what it was, as it got closer I identified it as...... an HB Yaris just like mine! Point being I forget how tiny they are, they feel much bigger when inside driving one, mine does to me anyway.

BTW: I left the gas hog 4x4 at home today ('99 Rav4, it only gets 28 to 30 mpg, thus the term, at least as compared to the Yaris), and as luck would have it a big storm blew in. Getting back up the mountain was going to be a bitch, 35 years of living up here I know all the signs, so I stopped at the bottom and aired down my tires to 25 psi from the usual 46. Made it home, not something I'd want to do often but it beat walking.

Sam8madness · 11-28-2011, 12:33 AM

All my odd ghetto friends love it haha

Had one bosnian fellow ask me a few questions about my car, he liked it quite a bit. Other then that it's been pretty fine.

charlieXX · 11-28-2011, 02:25 AM

My issue the car is not being respected here on Saudi hi-ways......I'm already travelling at 120-140kmh and still getting flashed from behind from Camry's and GMC's WTF.
