Car hide and go seek

February 12th, 2009 Posted in Rant

I recently bought a 2009 Toyota Yaris after my previous car decided to do $3000 worth of damage to itself. So far, I really do like the Yaris. I haven’t really encountered any deal-breaker problems. The only “problem” I have is the Yars’ size. Not because of it’s actual size, but it’s size in relation to other cars. It’s so small that it’s usually dwarfed by other cars and I tend to have a tough time finding it once I’ve parked it in a full lot. Usually, it’s some SUV soccer mom vehicle that’s blocking my view of the car, but even a regular sedan can block my view. I already had enough trouble looking for my old car in the parking lot. Now, it usually takes a moment of panic in addition to 2-3 minutes of looking for my car. I didn’t realize how big American cars really were until I started driving the Yaris. Since practically everyone out in the Midwest drives an American car, I’m usually outmatched 99% of the time. I’m just glad this is my last snowy winter so that I don’t have to play this game in the snow.
