so, my friend with a focus svt just called me to rag on me about some stats he read. supposedly, the yaris is in the top 15 cars that homosexuals buy. Really?

why would it matter? especially since this car is purchased in such great quantities?

ask him how any times he has had to take his car to the shop so far?

[SilverBack]

Relax, I'm sure the Ford guy was just joking around as a friend (like it says). All you gotta do is playfully fire back and enjoy the laughs...

ask him how any times he has had to take his car to the shop so far?

Yes, we would all like to know which is it: Found On Road Dead, or Fix Or Repair Daily :laugh:

This topic was posted a while back. But the yaris is still better than a focus.

lol...tell him it just means the Yaris is in fashion.

Technically yes, yes it was. :laugh: Hard to talk when you drive a Ford Broke-us.

hah. yeah, he was kidding. i greatly dislike fords myself, but his is very clean. it's funny cause i joined this forum after joining ARrides (and arkansas car club), everyone on the site bashed me for my car calling it rice and all that, which lead to me joining here. everyone is awesome on here.

and yea, i did tell him that it means my car is fashionable.

[PETERPOOP]

our cars are so gay.

[frownonfun]

that's funny. a friend of mine just bought a mustang like 3 days ago and i am still raggin on him about it. a ford!? lol. i don't care how fast it goes it's a POS. i'll take my homo car over any ford, any day. especially a focus.

[detroiter]

Put some suspension mods on your car then call your buddy up to tell him to meet you in the parking lot for some autocross. Laugh as you whip his ass so bad he won't speak to you for a week.

I have a Yaris, but my wife swears I'm straight. Go figure.

It's all downhill from here

This is coming from a guy who has a "Sport model" Focus. SVT focuses are a joke, weak HP, look like crap, crap reliability. That my friend is what they call in the MTV world as a "Hater"

I really do think that maybe your friend was jerking your chain.

Like the other day, my friend said that my car looked like it gained weight!!

[yarisugi]

you're only gay at heart........gay as in HAPPY
I'm very gay with my car.

[NJBob]

My brother owns a Focus and he's gay. True story. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I like my Yaris better than his Focus. for the record.

[nerp]

The rule is that the larger the car and the tires, the smaller the you-know-what. When I pull up to a guy in a huge v8 truck with 3-foot-tall knobby tires, I know who is the bigger man when the clothes come flying off. :) A secure man can drive a Yaris and be content. If some guy looks at my car and scoffs, I give him a knowing wink. "Don't worry buddy. If you rev that engine loudly, nobody will look at your pants."

[Klink10]

Great comments....and responses. Put a smile on my face this AM.

[41magmag41]

Funny I heard the same thing about Saturns, that they were only bought by gays. I also heard that Yaris was a womans car. I think these comments are made by people who made a mistake and didn't buy a Yaris. Let them stew with their decision.

[SailDesign]

The Fiat 500 (the old, underpowered version from the 50's) was voted Top Gear's "sexiest car of all time" because anyone driving one obviously didn't have to prove anything. :smile:
The Yaris fits the same profile.

[Slick]

Hey, in the great words of Ron White... Were all gay, its just to what extent. If you like hardcore porn, your gay. Cause nobody wants to see a half flacid little penis goin at it. They want a big, hard, throbin c***.

perhaps. the gay community is usually ahead in whats fashionable anyway. i never understood why gay is considered an insult. of course, i may be biased. (gf/gf)

[SIPNGAS]

I am with the majority saying, really? There's a thread devoted to something that means nothing.

[detroiter]

It's almost as bad as how ALOT of people call the Miata a chick car. Yet the car was built for pure terror in the track and backroad turns. Chick car it all you want, that thing was built with racing in mind!

Just tell him FORD stands for F*cker Only Rolls Downhill, Fix Or Repair Daily, Found On the Road Dead.:biggrin:

I guess it's gettin' a reputation on the net. It's a great little car, that's all I know and care about.

Friend with Ford found this for me (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cars/spring-2007s-gayest-cars-not-that-theres-anything-wrong-with-that-282047.php)

He claims it was a topic there several months ago (Ford MB), but he didn't join in on their fun.

Possibly, their servers stats are correct because the Yaris LB makes a great car for single people (small, 2 door), and cute, too, so it kinda makes sense.

I don't care if someone tells me my car is gay, in fact, around here it's kind of a compliment :wink:

Don't sweat it anyway. You'll have the last laugh when you fill up the tank.

[enobmort42]

no doubt about it... my car's pretty gay. the green nerf ball at the end of my antenna doesn't help any lol

[detroiter]

Kind of contradciting in a sense, but isn't it gay men who usually "get" the most girls?

Girls sure seem to love my Yaris and that's truth.

I've found this to be true also. Its a catchy little car, I gotta say. I have a scruffy looking poodle (no shedding) riding shotgun and the combo is dangerous. :thumbup: I always get the "awwwwwwww" and then... :biggrin: <--- right icon, eh? Heh...

I keep telling my wife I’m a lesbian but my wife says I’m straight.

I think it’s what you do to the car that makes it look one way or the other. I have seen more of the Yaris’s riced out then gayed out.

[detroiter]

Gaywheels.com? Wow I would have never guessed!

[enobmort42]

but where's the subaru outback on that list??

[detroiter]

I thought for sure I'd see the Honda Del Sol on that list :D

[eric81]

So he drives a Focus? No, it's cool... my mom drives a Focus ZTS too. Any Yaris should be able to spank that Focus. And did you ask how he knew gay people buy that car? It's because he's gay, and he was looking for a new car.

[eric81]

All the gay people I know (and I lived in Olympia, Washingto where there are as many gay people as there are straight), gay people drive VW Bugs, Miata's, slow pickup trucks, and Ford Focus's. That list is a list that gay people made to hide themselves by making people look for every other car on the market.

[TinyGiant]

do you need a piece of metal to dictate your sexual preference? do you need a big v8 to be considered a man? the bigger the engine the smaller the package between the legs....unless you don't use your car as a measuring tool like most mature adults.

i see alot of manly looking women in v8's around here .. lol

[TheKuma]

I always laugh at threads like these. Reminds me of my man getting upset when his friend tells him his Mazda3 Hatch is a "girl's car". I would say the Echo was more of a girlie car than the Yaris is, maybe because of that baby blue color.

It's not always about the car, its about how you drive it : D

Now if I brush up on my manual skills, does that make me a butch lesbian?

Mazda 3 = Ford Focus.

[eric81]

Mazda 3's are nice cars. I almost bought a speed 3 two years ago, but the price was just a little high for my budget. The focus is a P.O.S. My mom got the showroom ZTS with all the bells and whistles, and it still lacks a lot. The 2,3, and 5 models blow, so don't try to even begin to defend them. Drove several, and not a one has any power to speak of. That is why Ford is selling a stock supercharger right out of the factory for it. The Yaris's is at least true aftermarket, and not just the main company saying "Man, our car REALLY sucks. We should do something before no one buys it." So, no love for the Focus from me, sorry.

[TickleTimeTim]

This was worth the time posting it. The ford guy isn't too bad. He is gonna help me put springs on my car.

[Woody_Woodchuck]

My Yaris is gay??? I really don’t care what its sexual orientation is. As long as it understands not to hit on me on the commute, all is well. I best mention this to the GF also, in case it is a lesbian. But… maybe she would like that, who am I to say what is right.

[firebob]

I think the focus is still on top of the sales numbers if you look at the list. I know the Mazda3 has a lot of the same running gear but have not seen them side by side but I do think there the same.

To make it even more confusing, you pump the gas in the side.

[Castaway]

Gays are by average more educated.
They also average higher income.
They're known to have good taste.
... Hell, I'm gay!

[eric81]

Really? What's it like? Is it weird when one of you shaves and the other doesn't? I kissed a girl once who needed to shave. YUCK!!! Ended that date pretty quick. Still, I thought homo' were kinda claustrophobic, and that's why they are all coming out of the closet. Kind of a small car for them then, right? The Miata is at least usually a convertible.

[yaris prime]

I'm not gay, but I think the previous owner of my car was.
I found a "best of" showtunes cd in the player when I bought it :redface:

That pull-start thing is actually a good idea, for when the batteries die. Of course, it's just as easy to push it then pop the clutch. Or just replace the 3 AA's in the glove box and then start it up. But a good idea all the same.

[TickleTimeTim]

Way off topic now, but in reference to the pull start, people ask me if my tow hook is a wind up tool to start my car.

[eric81]

What do you mean? Wind ups are sooooooo gay!

So does that mean a Yaris covered with sponsor decals is "gay for pay?" LOL

[QUOTE=detroiter;302265]Why is it ok for a guy to drive a Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky/QUOTE]

it's not ok. it's still a hairdresser's car

without a 5.0(miata) or an LS6(solstice), either car is a hairdresser's car.

[GnomeBody]

This is the first time Ive heard of the yaris being a "Gay" car...

...On the other hand I do hear the word "cute" alot when people are taking about it...

Makes me think I should paint some flesh eating Zombies on it, maybe then it would get some respect

and as for the ford focus, I personaly think there Buttugly and throw in the fact that its a ford... well need I say more.

[frownonfun]

speaking of being gay i actually had someone key the words "i am gay" into the passenger side door of my '07 yaris sedan. i mean it was huge too. the whole door. i always thought that was an odd thing to key into someone's car cause if i was in fact gay, then how would that have hurt my feelings. and i'm pretty sure whoever it was knew i wasn't gay so now it's just plain inaccurate so yeah... i didn't understand that logic.

on a side note many guys have mistakenly thought i was gay. many of those same guys lost their girlfriends to me so idk, i think having "gay" personality traits has its advantages. so i like fruity drinks, cute cars, and i'll actually listen to a woman when she is talking... sue me.

[Castaway]

Ask your gf how it feels to kiss a guy, or how it feels to sleep with someone with hair on his chest and ass... As for the closet thing, I guess it was ment as a joke:iono:

[nerp]

I love pulling up to some meathead who looks at my yaris, starts to chuckle. .. until he sees the smoking babe I'm driving with. :)

[detroiter]

+1 to that.

I get alot of muscle car fanatics here in the motorcity, pull up and try to heckle me. Then they see the Filipina beauty I have in the seat next to me...then look at what's in their passenger seat. Their smile quickly turns to a frown :D

[Tamago]

Their smile quickly turns to a frown :D

that's probably because they're racist rednecks.

[detroiter]

I don't know if that's quite the reason. Most of the time, the mullets (as we aptly call domestic muscle car owners here) have overweight girls that look the equivalent to Ms.Piggy from the Muppets.

That would be enough to put a frown on my face too lol


I'm well in touch with the Asian community around Metro Detroit and I can honestly say, alot of the Asian girls would refuse to go for a guy who drives a Mustang or Camaro. Even Corvettes, alot of them can't stand the cars.

I thought it was well thought out, but I am not an english major by any means. That, and science and geography. And History. And anything besides math, electronics, automotive, and common sense.

[CtrlAltDefeat]

That's specious reasoning. If the majority of people in America bought Yari, then by that fact, the majority of gays would buy them. Perhaps the ratio of gays to straights might be skewed towards gay ownership, but that is most likely because Yaris owners are comfortable with their sexual orientation, whatever it may be. Gays by the definition of the gaywheels.com's survey are comfortable in their orientation. Personally, I don't need a giant pickup truck/SUV or a loud ass V8 engine to prove my manhood. I would love to have a bunch of bumper stickers printed up that say "Sorry about your penis size, man." and stick them on various large vehicles.:bellyroll::laugh::bellyroll:

I heard that the Yaris is a popular car on some online search engines that cater to gays. Not sure about who buys one. I live up the street from a gay couple. One drives a Matrix, the other a big Pickup.

I've worked with quite a few gay ladies. They seem to like pickup trucks, bikes and larger vehicles.

About the only car I've heard which is "gay" friendly is the Subaru Outback, perhaps because of its spokesperson, Martina Navratilova.

The Mini Cooper is annoyingly small to some, but simply irresistible to others. The cult classic from the BMW group means fun for anyone who sits behind the wheel (and passengers too).

Only person who drives one of these at work is around thirty, goth pale, dark hair, blue eyes... and is a mother of two. She has an awful drinking habit and a "rep". Maybe she could be a "twink", dunno.

Guess what, guys? We're all just people. I happen to be Gay. But I've been very happily single, and involved with other interests and causes for a very long time. (Not the least of which are my advocacy of Open Source software, and love of travel.) No "boyfriends" or other distractions, these days. Just me... studying the things I want to study, and doing the things I want to do. Hormones are both a blessing and a burden. "Just take care of the burden and get on with life" is my current motto.

I really don't see any particular attraction the Yaris might hold for us Gay folks, in general. I certainly like the car. But that's because impressive efficiency, combined with (relative) simplicity, holds a special fascination for me. And believe me, that's not a "Gay" trait. I'm happy to find *anyone* who shares my admiration of that combination. And when I do, I don't particularly care who they're interested in sexually... if anyone.

Well said. The reason I bought my Yaris was for the overall "green-ness" of the car. I dont think a car can be or look gay, but if people want to classify the yaris as a car gays want, then oh well. We will probably have our cars way longer. :)
