How gay is your car?

A French website dedicated to gay motoring enthusiasts, Clubautorainbow as well as the Daily Telegraph gave the Peugeot 206cc the thumbs up for Gay Car of The Year.

The website says the winning qualities of the 206cc include originality, unconventionality and its design. Then of course there is also the fact that a lot of gay people have bought the little French drop-top.

The runner-up for the website's title was the MINI Cooper and the third prize went to the New Beetle. Other firm favourites in the running were the Smart City Coupé and Mercedes SLK.

Cars that were just "gay enough" were the BMW Z4, Jeep Wrangler, Porsche Boxster and the VW Golf.

Among the "closeted" gay cars were the Audi A3, Chrysler PT Cruiser and Fiat Multipla.

The Daily Telegraph's choice for the top gay car were also the topless Peugeot with the Smart, Mini Cooper, Mercedes SLK and New Beetle short on its heels.

According to the Telegraph heterosexual cars include the Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari Enzo and Alfa Romeos. The Renault Scenic and the Citroën C5 are apparently super-straight cars.

Is the gay one the one that looks like a suppository on wheels?

I've read the same thing - it's not a fluke: Subaru has deliberately gone after gay consumers (insert joke here) . BTW, you have a cooooool car. I have a 97 White Ford F150 4wd. Not nearly as cool-looking as yours, but better in the mud. :-)

I read a few years ago that lesbians do indeed own a disproportionate number of Subarus.

Haha! Outside of The Equalizer, I never cared for the wheels, especially the new commercials that seems to think the car is named a "Jag-You-Are." What's up with that??? ;-)

Sorry. I know whereof I speak.

Oh poo.

Even if it's the deep purple type?

Guess I better talk her into keeping her other car to drive. She should be safe with that.

No doubt your 4wd 150 is much better in the mud. But this is the second Firebird I've had, and this one has traction control, which while not quite 4wd really does help tremendously in slick conditions.

I live in a cold and snowy region, and live on a steep hill. The Firebird is my only car, and I drive it right through the winter. Between the traction control, Blizzak snow tires on all wheels, and 150 lbs. of sand bags in the trunk, I've really had no problems (knock on wood).

The Porsche Boxter is gay?

No, but it is NAZI. Not as NAZI as the VW, but they're all EVIL. I say let's label all cars. Arnold drives a Hummer (H1 and H2) so it must be a RINO car. The F150 mentioned earlier is obviously cowboy.According to Rush the Yugo was a green car. The Toyota Prius is a RICH guys green car. Where else can we take this? ;^>

I tested a Boxter (my final choice was between that and the car I bought), and it is not "gay". It doesn't drive "gay", that's for sure.

"I have a 97 White Ford F150 4wd."

Nice, if you like economy cars.

Try an F-350 diesel 4x4, off-road, winch, etc., 6 spd with all the trimmin's. Now that's a car!
