No...you're not getting old. Well, ok ,maybe you are, but I'm pretty sure I'm older than you. It's not about self respect...it's about what you can enjoy. I wouldn't feel emasculated driving something like a Yaris...I'd just hate it's lack of power. I don't drive all that much...I fill up my tank once a month, maybe twice so gas isn't a huge deal. I like knowing I have the power to pass a vehicle on the highway if I need to. I also like knowing my car (or truck) does 0-60 in more than just theory.
