Is your vehicle gay?

NorthJersey.com http://snipurl.com/1kdp5

...I'm...trying to understand the new phenomenon of cars with a sexual
orientation. The New York Times did an article recently on what they
termed "gay" cars, and I've heard people refer to cars as gay (Miata)
or straight (Camry).

We've known all along that cars can be sexy, cool or cute. They can be
tough, dorky, beautiful, temperamental or reliable. Of course, there
have always been such things as girl cars and guy cars.

And now, apparently, there are gay cars also. Not that there's anything
wrong with that.

For years my husband drove a red soft-top Geo Tracker
http://snipurl.com/Geo_Tracker - I have to admit, we strongly suspected
that car was gay. It was a zippy little number that always looked just
right. Also, it seemed annoyed at crumbs on the seat. But we loved that
car and we cared for it the same as all our other cars. We even paid
extra for "plus" gasoline, because it seemed happier that way. Maybe
that car was gay and maybe it was straight, but I'll say this - it ran
like a top.

Now my husband drives a Jeep Liberty. We've been wondering about the
Liberty - it certainly has soft lines and a lot of personality but
we're not rushing to judgment or anything. I've noticed that it easily
accommodates kids, but is not crazy about grocery shopping. Well, that
doesn't mean anything. I'm not crazy about grocery shopping, either.

When I was growing up my dad drove a second-hand Corvair
http://snipurl.com/1kdom - For those of you too young to remember, that
was a car with zing. It was probably gay. But in those days, nobody
talked about that. You had a car, you drove your car, and if by chance
your car had more personality or style than the ordinary car, well,
people just admired the car without digging too deeply into the matter.
I did notice though, that the family never drove in the Corvair. It was
just for my dad. The family used the big Buick, which had a trunk big
enough to hold a sectional sofa. That car was straight as an arrow.

Interestingly, after the Corvair my dad drove a Chevy Nova
http://snipurl.com/Chevy_Nova - There was a car that was just this side
of butch. My brother took it camping many times. It was always full of
old towels and rock- climbing gear, and the floor mats were always
askew. I think the car was happiest like that.

I'm glad cars are out of the closet. For so long nobody could talk
about anything gay - and now we're free to obsess about it. We can
amuse ourselves by dividing the whole world into gay and straight us
and them - and chuckling over our differences. Does being a hybrid make
a car automatically gay? Can a mechanic "convert" your car? Were any
cars "outed" at the auto show?

This kind of finger-pointing is a popular sport, and one can see why.
We don't have to consider how a car really drives if all we focus on is
its flashy exterior.

For all our progress, we're still more comfortable laughing at each
other's differences than accepting them. And once you start labeling,
it's just too much fun to stop.

For instance, Hummers. It's hard to tell about the Hummers. First of
all, they're from the military, so they have that "don't ask, don't
tell" history to them. And they used to be all business, but they've
softened quite a bit. In fact, there is a mini-version now which is
just about adorable. I saw one the other day in kind of a deep plum
color, and I have to tell you, I did stop to wonder.

 

Hummers are all closet queens, just like their owners.

 

VW New Beetle...possibly gay, definitely "Metrosexual"...

I have always wondered about you George.

 

Whoever came up with this bullshit has too much time on his hands and too
much of a fixation on sex, or perhaps is bi-curious.

The Miata is a take-off of a Lotus, and "Emma Peel" drove one in the
Avengers. Good enough for me!

 

Well, Georgie Girl,I think YOU are a BIG FAGGOT
Happy now ??


..

 

which emma?

 

All, I know is that if my Yaris that gives me 40 mpg makes me gay.. then my
wife better like a lesbian.. because I am...

enjoy the 14 mpg folks.. ;-P

 

What a great article! My son-in-law was visiting the other day when my
youngest son drove into the driveway. The son-in-law's white Pontiac
Vibe was parked in front of the house. My son, driving his gold Nissan
Murano, pulled up next to it, rolled down his window and said, "I'm
just trying to decide which one of our cars is gayest." A few weeks
later, the Murano is gone and he's driving an F-350 with an 8" lift.
Eldest daughter claims this is clear indication that he has a small
penis.

New phenomenon? Hardly! Way back in the 80s, it was common consensus
that a white VW Cabriolet with white wheels was as gay as a car could get!

 

Really.... that comes as a great surprise to Alfa Romeo owners.

 

Not gay, just dorky.

FWIW, I have a good friend who's about 6'6", married, and straight. But
he still looks completely dorky driving his Yaris ;-)

 

Dorky is subjective. Smart and Dorky arent the same. I don't need a Hummer
or a Excursion or a Supra to make my cock feel bigger. I already know it is
bigger.

 

Why is that?

I remember reading an article in either Car & Driver or AutoWEEK back when
the Miata was first released. The Japanese Project Manager told a design
manager at the Calif design studio to procure a Lotus Elan, and to study
EVERYTHING about it, take measurements, study the suspension, etc, etc.
So, the guy located one in So Cal, and brought it to the design center
garage where they measured, molded, photographed, etc. Well, the guy knew
they wouldn't keep the car when they were done with it, so he figured he
would be able to score an Elan CHEEP!

The Monday after they finished with the car, he went to work...and the
Lotus was gone! Seems some high-up in Japan had the exact same idea...the
car had been shipped to Japan that Saturday...

After all, they're smarter than to copy an Alfa...

 

Emma Peel. You know, the one in the Skin-Tight leotard, that every male
above the age of 12 wanted to...you know...

And the Lotus:

Plus, they're one of the least expensive roadsters, are reliable, get decent
mileage, and handle quite well. I didn't want to sell mine, but 4 cars was
just too many.

 

No particular brand or model. LLBs are gay. I guess they like getting
rear-ended.

 

aaaaaaaaa......best homer drool, leather babe....

 

Exactly. Just tell 'em you're driving a Yaris to "compensate" for penis
size.
