Detroit’s Gayest Car of 2009

Somehow this little number — the Fisker Karma Convertible — was not dubbed the gayest car at this year’s Detroit Auto Show.

The Chevy Cruze was, at least according to VF.

What? The Fist-her?

Maybe that’s why it’s not the gayest.

Just sayin’

the Fisker Karma Convertible: this car looks like one of my old hot wheels cars.

Okay, okay…

Um… Teens saying “that’s so gay” = bad

But… Queerty saying “the gayest car ever” = good?

Is it the “gayest” because it’s purplish? Purple being equated with a more feminine aesthetic. I can only assume that your self-imposed stereotypes HAVE to be keeping you warm during this icy winter. I know, I know… “chill, dude”.

@Me: When the teens say “that’s so gay”, it is used as a synonym for “stupid”.

When we say “the gayest car”, we mean that the car only rear-ends with cars of the same gender.

Some cars are just looking for the 4 car pile up on the way home… sluts.

@Me: Are you a lesbian? Because it’s common knowledge they have no sense of humor.

I’d like a Tesla Roadster, metallic green, with tubling pink hearts decals on the sides.

“Are you a lesbian? Because it’s common knowledge they have no sense of humor.”

Wow! Point proved. Was that one in your file of stereotypes, in between Asians are smart but drive slow and Black people are good dancers who like watermelon?

I wouldn’t mind a Chevy Cruze. I think it looks great inside and out.

Like the ’08-’09 Malibu, it’s hard to believe it’s a Chevy. They’re really turning things around.

I’d give my left nut to own the Fiska Karma Convertible.

It’s gorgeous and even prettier than my 40th Anniversary triple-Burgandy Vette.

I have always loved rag-tops and my very first one was a 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak 8, Hydromatic, in Fire Engine Red with red leather upholstery and a black-ragtop.

I wouldn’t mind having that sitting in my driveway either. ;-)

@ME.
Yes: when teens say “gay”, it means “stupid”. When Queerty says “gay”, it means “fabulous”. What’s not to get?

Team Fisker.
