What amazes me is your willingness to use and encourage stereotypes. I thought StoneWall and the gay rights movement were intended to break down stereotypes? Or does that fall under the same category that Blacks feel it's ok to us the "N word" amongst themselves? Two faced arrogance is what it is. If you don't want to be stereotyped, don't USE stereotypes. I recall what brought you back to this board in 2005 was the fact that Gae must have been talkng to you about the trend to lump gays and child molesters into the same group, and you felt "lured" back on here. I can see why you are a Democrat. It's OK for you to stereotype but no one else better do it. Grow up.

I see you've been considering a Yaris for yourself!

Not a chance. Just isn't my type of car. But I sure won't make fun of someone else for having one or be small minded and try to lump them into a certain category because they do because I read it in some magazine poll or website.

I didn't make fun of anyone. I posted an article that stated the results of a poll.

Whoa!!

The only people I know that abuse(d) children are hetero. I LIKE our gay neighbors.

My car got into the top 10 of gayness! Finally, I'm hip! YAY!

My very favorite car in the world is parked right outside right now. It's a '79 Mercedes 380SL convertible. Red.

I think I'm in love.

Unfortunately, it's not a belated birthday present from Trav.

From GREENCAR.com...
When the Yaris was about to introduced here in the USA!
Back to News

Toyota Brings Yaris to the U.S.
Digg This Story
The Toyota Yaris was first launched in Europe in 1999 and went on to win both the 2000 European ?Car of the Year? and the ?Japan Car of the Year? awards. Now, the Yaris comes to the U.S. for the 2007 model year in Liftback and Sedan form to replace the Echo in Toyota?s subcompact segment. The Yaris we?re getting here is longer and wider than its European predecessor, and will form the basis for a wide variety of future vehicles.

Powering both the Yaris Liftback and Sedan is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that features Toyota?s variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) for better breathing. The engine produces 106 hp and 103 lbs-ft of torque. Both the Liftback and Sedan will be mated to either a five-speed manual or available four-speed automatic transmission. Like the Echo it replaces, Yaris fuel efficiency will be among the highest in the subcompact class. A preliminary EPA fuel economy rating for both models is estimated at 34 mpg city and 40 mpg highway for the five-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission maintains the city rating and drops the highway rating to 39 mpg. In addition to its exceptional fuel efficiency, Yaris will be EPA-certified as an Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle.

Reason trying to make gay references tword me. What a shock.

Sorry reason, but I'm not interested.

Gaywheels.com, the sole source of information specifically targeted to and about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) car-shoppers

Do we really need this? Why are their vehicle needs any different than the straight population? Very strange.

They also tend to be early adopters of style and technology...

I could probably come up with a few more demographics of which I'm sure marketers are aware and would affect the kind of car this group would purchase.

So if one puts minimal thought into it, this kind of site wouldn't so strange at all. Unless, of course, you think a soccer mom with 4 kids and a family income of $100,000 is going to purchase the same type of vehicle as a 21 year old gay male just out of college.

Or maybe you would. But we've come to expect that kind of though process (or lack thereof) out of you.

Go Suckeyes.
