I Feel So......Gay ?!?!? - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Not sure about this one. I think to drive one of these in Michigan you have to be secure in your masculinity. 99% of the rest of the cars are bigger than you, and you have to "compete" on the roads with them.

I actually take the exact opposite view of "gay" vehicles:

When I see some guy with a HUGE truck that's got 40" tires, 10" lift, etc., I think to myself ... THAT is so gay. Or if not gay, at least that those guys must be compensating for some other "shortcoming" that they have.

In any case I think there's a lot "gayer" vehicles out there.

I know what you mean. At times, I wish I had a V8 engine under my Yaris's hood, just to show these @ssholes on the road, you know when they cut you off so you can't change lanes, etc.

It's very true.

There's so many SUVs and bigger cars here it's unbelievable. You almost have to have an overly aggressive mindset when you go driving. I consider myself a really good driver and I don't drive like a jerk, but I also don't back down from other jerk motorists no matter how big their vehicle is.

I know I can't get a V8 in my car, but it does make me REALLY want a TRAIN HORN for when the @$$holes you mentioned get out of line.

I'm not environmentally conscious, not gay, and not liberal. I just love the looks of the Yaris.

I tried to get my boyfriend to take it for a drive and he told me no, it looked like a "girl car".

I always thought the Mini Cooper was the official Gaymobile.

I though it was either the Miata or the VW Cabrio.

Billiam · 07-01-2010, 04:28 PM

Hmm...I'll have to ask my wife how "gay" I was last night!

Thai_Dang · 07-01-2010, 06:18 PM

Maybe gays are less inhibited to go against the grain to choose a small car that's practical vs. a midsize sedan. Lol I know I get ribbed for choosing a yaris over a "normal car," but I chose it because it offered "features" that I want that other cars don't have. Features: high MPG, compactness so I could park in LA, tight turning radius and maneuverability, versatility in terms of cargo, toyota reliability and because it looked good. Lol I think the only problem with it is the fact that it only realistically fits 4 people. Price was not really a factor, I could've gotten a fit, corolla, camry, but they looked too big and wasteful to me.

Well as a gay man I don't find it ridiculous that there is a company that researches this. Gaywheels.com provides alot of information to the glbt community from my experience most car guys and gays don't mix well kinda like water and electricity. and from a marketing standpoint people shouldn't underestimate the gay community.. GLBT people tent to have a higher disposable income than your average consumer and in car terms there are a few manufacturers that target consumers on various GLBT sites.

I misunderstood the website, It sounded like it was offending to the gay cummunity.

Yaris Hilton · 07-02-2010, 12:33 PM

Yep. It's bad business to blow off the gay community. (Uh, no pun intended.)

Lorenzo1950 · 07-02-2010, 12:39 PM

Back in the early 20th century gay meant happy. You can be a happy or gay Yaris owner and be politically correct.
