complete randomness

[WormGod]

As much as I laughed it up, I have a buddy who recently picked up a Toyota Yaris. He works in the naval yard in DC and commutes about 80 miles round trip daily. The joke was on me when I gassed up next to him at a Sunoco this past weekend. He pulled in after me, gassed up as we talked a bit, and left before I even had my gas cap back on my WReX. To top it all of, the mileage eats mine. Has me rethinking my priorities for my 60 mile round trip commute. Sad to say, I have a hard time finding myself trading in my VX or the WReX, and a 3rd car in my driveway seems like complete overkill. I will probably grow up one day, heh.

I guess it all comes down to whether you are looking for something that gets average, good, or great mpg. Or, if you just don't care. I fit into the the "I care, but it isn't a huge deal". Especially since I still have a love affair with the ZO6.

Yeah, as far as the little cars go, I actually kinda like the Yaris. I mean, its HORRIBLE, but the economy factor is where its at. It would be funny to murder one of those little guys out and weld some spikes and stuff to it....

All of my rational thought agrees with etlsport completely. But I'm still 18 and some other less practical cars come to mind. Little hot hatches like the Mini Cooper S (someone on the forum got one of those) and the VW GTI really strike me as being good ideas. They both get good gas milage and the latter has quite a useful trunk-- all the while being fun to drive.
