Ooooo - my own hate mail!

Or helping to civilize car culture closer to drag.

I don't care who you are, that's a pretty smile.

berkeley'em. You can't please all of them. There's always at least one putz that will complain no matter what you do in life.

A young lady of my acquaintance drives a little red Civic 2 door. Across the bottom of the back glass in letters maybe 3/8" tall: 'Dont follow me on a twisty road. You'll lose.' It's true; she used to co drive the Abomination. I'm 90% sure I'd lose.

Probably the type of car buyer clarkson was targeting in the VW ad

Ignore the idiot....it was a funny piece.

Hah! I berkeleying love you guys.

Did you happen to notice the weird little bird zipping directly over that wig?

This thread needs more drag racing.

Out of curiosity, what makes the Ford Focus such a good gay car? I see it as an all around good car. What makes it particularly gay?

[because of what some men would be willing to do to get behind the wheel of that car]

God, I don't know. I've decided in my next life, I want to come back as a gay man - they seem to be having a lot more fun

There's a marriage joke in there somewhere ;)

Nice story. I liked it.

That was the name of my intramural floor hockey team in college. The guy who ran the league abbreviated SYNT however.

The stupidity of the general public will never cease to amaze me. So many uptight, insecure, vocal imbeciles out there.

I encounter them while out on my bicycle fairly frequently.

On your bicycle?

Wait, don't leave it at that... what are they yelling at you?

I'm coming back as a lesbian.

The "girls" did several costume changes for our shoot. I helped zip up that sparkly blue evening gown that Madge (who teaches fitness) is wearing. I said "It just feels all kinds of wrong that I'm admiring your bum".

I don't believe the bit about some guys in a Chevy calling the fiat you were driving gay. While it is certainly possible. Yeah. Uhhhh. Maybe your stereotypes would do that to a guy driving the car, I just ain't buying they would do it to you.

I also think you are enjoying the 'hate' mail a bit too much as it feels to me like stirring that reaction is part of the act. It kinda wears me thin when folks run around trying offend people then pretend to be 'upset' when they illicit the very reaction they were aiming for.

All that said. The article was well written,

Of course - there's an element of enjoying that people are actually stirred. Whether you believe what I've written or not? That's up to you. And why would you assume that I was intentionally trying to offend? I was hoping for that people would laugh... and think.

I've also had truckloads of guys here laughing at the Smart car and calling a Hyundai Accent a "E36 M3box".

I am a Lesbian, trapped in a man's body.

No kidding.

I'm surprised you weren't smoldering over Madges lack of cellulite. That's so unfair.

Well, I admit I was envious that she looked way better in the micro-mini than I could have.

Laughing, lucky you! All we get is calf shot to judge by. A+ btw.
