Title: Gay Cars? Gimme a break
Post by: TehBorken on Apr 13 07 12:05
 From [a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" href="vny!://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/12/fashion/12cars.html?em&ex=1176609600&en=ec18b4057402f5bf&ei=5087%0A"]an article on "straight" versus "gay" cars and trucks[/a]:

"A few years ago, Meghan Daum, an op-ed contributor to The Los Angeles Times, wrote about a promising first date with a man that never led to a second one because, she later learned, the guy saw that she drove a Subaru Outback station wagon and concluded she must be a lesbian."

Question: What kind of imbecile reckons a woman's sexual orientation based on the car she drives?
Answer: The kind of imbecile that won't get laid, that's what kind.

And more from the same article:
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]
Mr. Markus of Motor Trend said clichés about gay drivers tend to collapse on close inspection, like the gay man who is a "gym bunny" and gravitates toward Jeeps and convertibles "to show off his hot body." But, he added, "If you could actually push a button and see what every gay person drives, it's probably not too different from what the average person drives, but it might skew higher in price."

510?

If I had a decent job I'd get a Mini in a heart beat, too much fun plus I like small cars.

I can see SD driving a mini.

It would be like when Hightower in Police Academy had to drive that little hatchback and so he tore out the front seat and drove from the back.

One of my friends had a 510.  You didn't need keys to start it.
