Compliments
Over the past few weeks my Yaris has gotten several compliments. Random people at stop lights say how nice it looks and ask what kind of mileage I get.
A few even asked if I wanted to trade cars with them. It feels pretty good considering how little I paid for it. I think a lot of people think it's a hybrid too.

I call mine my Little gocart. You will get some snickers from the guys in the SUV's, but women find it cute! last laugh is one them, as you pass them at the gas station.

I don't necessarily receive a lot of compliments. But my car is usually only two places, the work parking lot or my driveway. And since I usually leave work about an hour after most people, it's rare to encounter people.
I did however notice on the drive home about 2 weeks ago two girls in the car behind me at a stop light reading "Yaris" on the back. Probably a good thing I haven't de-badged it yet as I'm likely to do shortly.

Then people get on me about how small the Yaris is and I tell them about my Expedition.

Q(','Q)
|
I get the "WTF are you driving" because my badges are de-badged and I have a front "Vitz" lightining emblem. They look at my rear and they see a black toyota emblem and the just have a puzzled look. Is it a toyota or something else?
Then they ask me if it's a hybrid(if I'm around) and then I tell them it's a go-kart. The younger kids I show them my mushroom and say that's my NOS and point at my banana and say get to close and I release! |

i've lived in my apartment complex for 10 months and not once has any of my neighbors tried talking to me. until i got my Yaris. "Do you like your car?" (um, no...that's why i bought it.) "The rims really make the car." (i know dumbass, that's why i bought them.)
i don't really like people.

Yes, I think that was the intended message, but it could be taken in a very very veeery wrong way

A week ago I was driving down into downtown Hudson and I saw a guy on the sidewalk mouth "What the hell is that?"
A few days later I'm pulling into a supermarket parking lot and a kid standing outside his yellow Monte Carlo points at me from 500 yards away and proceeds to point until I park near him. I don't see many cars on the road that turn as many heads (for better or worse) than the Yaris. |
