Gay and Lesbian Car Letters

I don't know about anyone else, cause I'm a poor waiter and drive a Geo Metro...but I've noticed that alot of cute gay guys drive VW Jettas, especially black ones. Just last week, I fell in love with this one guy on sight. I was on the Eisenhower Expressway and I saw this adorable guy driving one: he was balding, with glasses (my favorite look is the geeky look) and he had this, oh I don't know, smart intensity about him. I tried and tried to get his attention from the other lane, but he kept throwing me attitude and refused to look. The next time I see him, I'm going to pull in front of him, get him to stop, and ask him to marry me.

The ultimate gay car for a guy would have to be the new Volkswagen Beetle. It has been nominated for the new Texas version of "Survivor": Drive from Dallas to San Antonio and back with a bumper sticker that says "I'm gay and I'm here to take your guns." First one back alive wins.

Thanks for taking gay nominations, as I was having a hard time deciding from your previous list which car I should drive to attract a man!

My Saab convertible is a great gay car. It still defiantly places the ignition between the seats, had seat heaters long before most of the world knew how to cure cold buns, and provides a pair of work gloves for changing the spare, along with a plastic bag in which to put the flat. Now, that's panache!

What would be much easier than picking the ultimate gay or lesbian car? Picking the ultimate straight car: the minivan. ANY minivan. No self-respecting gay or lesbian would ever be seen driving one. Heck, even straight people are ashamed of them!

No car just yet seems to scream homosexuality, but wouldn't that be a fun way for a big American company to try and corner a market? I can see it now: The Chrysler "Gay Car" (with a little pink lambda where the K plaque used to go) -- "the car as comfortable as you are with your sexuality."

The ultimate gay-man car is the Volkswagen Beetle. This is a crossover from the ultimate chick-car list, but cross-dressing, crossover -- what's the difference?

The #1 lesbian car of all time is the Subaru Forester. C'mon now! When I was car shopping in November, the salesman just assumed my friend and I were lovers because he was so accustomed to lesbians shopping at Subaru dealerships. Subaru even has out lesbians on their commercials, and he even mentioned we could put our big hairy dog in it!

Every time I see a middle-aged guy driving a Jeep Wrangler or a Nissan Xterra, I wonder, "Does his wife know?"

One car that I suggested was loudly rejected by both gays and lesbians, so if you want to affirm your heterosexuality regardless of your gender, drive a Pontiac Aztek!

See...these categories are just too broad! Niche marketing is in. So, for a gay guy who wants to be perceived as butch (either to signal that he is butch or to attract guys who he THINKS only like butch guys), the choice has to be either a Ford F-150 or a Jeep. If he wants to be perceived as a rich, conservative Republican (talk about weird), a full-size Lexus is just the ticket. Rich and sporty calls for a Z3 (talk about a boy, or ANYTHING, magnet!!!). Of course, sporty and not rich means Miata.

In gaylandia the BMW M3 is very practical: Get a tan while running errands by lowering the top. Form following function? Uh, hello? Not to mention everybody will know you spent a pretty penny as you make "cameo appearances" at places like the supermarket, gas station, or gym.

The Camry is the ultimate gay-guy car. It reeks of self- confidence and security and reflects a man who is not afraid of long-long-long-term relationships.
