Did the Audi TT (Cough.....Beetle) or Volkswagen Cabrio list above the top

#8 is going to tick a lot of people off.

Ahhh, this ***** about gays and their cars is lugubrious and pandering to stereotypes based upon the sad fact than "hetero" men are made uncomfortable with same-sex doings,as Bluebeard said"you may look into all the chambers save one".

One of my closest car collector friends is gay,bought,sold and traded with him over the years.

Guy's got Delages,an Hispano-Suiza,2 Isotta's plus a Bugatti tipo 40 I keep begging him to sell me,just shows ya, you never know AND it doesn't really matter at all what most hooples think.

Yeah, I don't know what the point of this list is. The guy I work for is an ********* and he has a Porsche. I don't think EVERYbody that has a Porsche is an *********. Maybe it's a high per centage, but not EVERYbody. I'd like to have one too.

Well I think the survay is ment to be made fun of, how can such a thing be taken in any way seriously.

As an aside I don't know about 911 drivers but BMW drivers espeicaly those with NJ plates are pretty much all A holes. You name an A hole driving move and they do it on the way to work.


Now what if the the poll was, "What car do you think is the most gay?"
Hmm the Ford Probe is tops in my book, what was up with that name?

Q: What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?
A: A porcupine has pricks on the OUTside.

The Jetta has been ruined for me, not only does every girl seem to drive one at school, really annoying highschool wannabe guys drive them as well. Only and I mean only the TDI's have cool people in them, TDI owners are usualy very cool for some reason.

I dont know if it was the Solstice or the Sky was the most researched car on gaywheels.com. There was a piece on it at Jalopnik.com.

The TT cant be on the list, because then you would need to add the 350Z/G35, the Eclipse, the SC430, etc. to the same line and any other replicas out there I might have forgot. What is it about a TT that intimidates you guys so much? Even the Alfa Romeo crowd gets their panties twisted. Weird...

Its true, maybe its just my area. At the diesel pump Dodge Cummins owners usualy won't give a MB the time of day, and other MB owners ehh. Some are cool some are just strange. But TDI owners always seem to want to talk and are usualy pretty cool. Pull up next to a TDI owner at the diesel pump and you can usualy have a good conversation as your tank fills up!

Hehe, the older Mercedes drivers in my area are cool. I was at work this summer, and a guy in a CLS55 pulled up next to me....


He said he missed the feeling of quality that the old ones had... He said thats the reason why he still has his 500E.


He said that I should take good car of my car. I told him to take care of that 500E and he said "only the best." We then both parted ways.



And I ran into a lurker on this board one day when driving home from a friends house. I have a mercedesshop.com sticky in the window, and he was in a W123 diesel wagon. He pulled up next to me, and we both exchanged greetings and both admired eachothers cars. He saw the sticky and said this is one hell-uva site, and then parted ways. I still kick myself for not getting his name.
