Our palBrett Berk has long held that there are “gay cars”, and we tend to agree — though with certain caveats. Frankly, we believe that when you talk about “gay cars”, you have to talk about gay communities. Think of it like fashion: today’s twinks enjoy jorts and baggy tank-tops. Go to a bear bash, [...]
Mercedes-Benz didnt join the midsize luxury SUV craze, they invented it. The first M-Class introduced Americans to the idea that a luxury car could be a durable all weather, all road condition vehicle without requiring it to carry a six-digit price tag. Now, in its third generation, the M-Class has improved by leaps and bounds, [...]
A unique spin on Japanese luxury Luxury is not just about showing off with an old-world brand. Theres also exquisiteness in style, technology, and exciting performance. The Infiniti M56 has all three. Long, flowing front fenders and hood, a coupe-like roof and high tail give the car proportions that stand out on the road and [...]

A couple of weeks ago, someone brought this Hyundai ad to our attention. Though it’s over a year old, we hadn’t seen it before, and frankly, it took us by surprise. Check it: Why is that surprising? Because it features a lesbian plotline, despite the fact thatHyundai is one of only only four major automakers [...]
As many of you know, we relaunched Gaywheels a couple of months ago. But the changes we made weren’t just cosmetic — we’ve been tinkering with the backend, too. (Minds out of the gutter, kids.) With that tinkering, we refreshed all our stat-gathering resources, which means we’ll be able to give more regular updates on [...]
Some people don’t think of NASCAR as a terribly inclusive sport, but that’s changing for the better, thanks to fair-minded sponsors like Red Bull. At a race last weekend, our eagle-eyed pals at Queers4Gears spotted a homophobe in their midst — a man by the name ofJeremy Fuller, who is part of theRed Bull Racing [...]
It was the stuff of screenwriters’ dreams: marriage equality legislation passing on Gay Pride weekend in the very state that saw the birth of the modern LGBT rights movement 42 years earlier. Even ham-fisted Michael Bay might’ve considered it too over-the-top. But that’s exactly how it unfolded. And if history does, in fact, repeat itself, [...]
Elantra hits it I wont tell you which one, but I was recently driving a competitor to the all-new Hyundai Elantra when discussing it with an auto-writing colleague. I mentioned how unimpressed I was with the big-name compact I was driving and couldnt wait to get into the Elantra. He said, Could you have believed [...]
I Take Myself, My Editor and a Volvo XC60 On a Long and Well-Deserved Vacation The XC adventure began with a flight to LA on a Sunday where I was promptly shipped to the Weston hotel and forced to eat delicious food almost immediately. I mention food because the only thing I love more than [...]
