the fags in the mustang

[808BMW]

I cruise around almost exclusively with my cousin. Not once have I ever heard someone call us gay (at least not to our faces). What they might say behind our backs I don't know, but if they're talking shit they're friends are really good at keeping secrets, because if someone was talking shit about either of us I garauntee they'd be eating the ground.

I don't buy this "you need 3 guys to not look gay" thing, I go out plenty with my best friend, and I highly doubt anybody has ever instinctively thought "oh, there's a gay couple on a date" - maybe, but I really doubt it.

Then again, I don't own a E30 cab, nor would I really want one - maybe they are or were a 'gay magnet' car, but now it's a 20 y.o. car - nothing more since demographically homosexuals are fairly affluent as a whole and like someone else said, are driving E46's & X5's.

You sure you're not just hyper-sensitive to the gay stigma with the car? Not bashing, I might grow a mullet to offset a cab myself, but only if it was worth it - like that black M-tech with Sport Evo cloth interior.

I don't think people really do the whole 'stereotype you by the car you drive' thing as much as they used to, say a decade ago. A car is a car, and some are more custom than others, but it's not as big a deal as it seems like it used to be. It's much more common to do custom stuff these days, it's not just gearheads going for speed, or hicks (I'm one) doing the 4x4 thing anymore - girls and non-motorhead guys all get wheels these days, and some go further.

Look on the bright side, you don't have a yellow Miata, or a VW cabbie. And your car starts most every time you twist the key. Could be a lot worse.

amen to that... esp the miata part..

First off the gay comment was definatly because you were in a convertible, not because of the fact its an e30.

My dad has a miata and I have taken it out a few times and ive driven it with another guy in the passenger seat and have definatly gotten a few looks. If they dont know me i dont care what they think, if they do know me then they know im not gay, so no problem there. I dont let this stop me from harassing my dad about his car being girly though, but he dosent let it get to him.

During my nevering ending search for e30s i have came across a gay e30 owner though, he knew his stuff about cars and i respected that, i also dont think there is anything gay about an e30 just because a gay man drives one.

Now convertibles, they are just a little gay. I honestly beleive a gay man is more likely to drive a convertible than a straight man, this does not mean all convertible drivers are gay, some of them are women. Just kidding, yes many straight men drive convertibles. I did see a mitsubitshi eclipse convertible with 3 men in it the other day and even though they didnt appear to be gay, I could not help but think it.

Shockingly I've received more thumbs ups and friendly waves in my e30 then I ever did with my WRX around Northern VA. Everyone from Porsche owners to a group of guys in a pickup have really liked the way this looks.

HAHAHAHAHA good one champ!

At least you differentiated between me and mikes homo friend.

Champ?
Really?.....

How did the whole "Convertible = Girly car or Gay" thing get started?

[colombacho]

what about the subaru-lesbo connection?!?!?!

[Jscotty]

When you go into a public restroom where there are 20 urinals and there are only 2 guys in there paired up side by side... One guy at urinal #16 and the other at urinal #17. All other urinals are vacant. Would you think that those guys were gay?

[mtechnik]

@JScotty - Good question LOL!

Most people around here that have a mustang, they put a K&N filter on it and then they think that they have a Pro Stock drag car.

[FredK]

Hard to say. If there are 20 urinals, and 16 and 17 are occupied, that means the second urinator would have had to walk past a whole bank of virginal porcelain waiting to take his urine, but instead chose to sidle up to another man peacefully voiding his bladder. That is bold.

He may prefer to gaze upon meat, but that may not mean he is gay, he just has gay tendencies.

[MattE30]

You guys are being rediculous. The mustang drivers probably thought they were funny by pretending to be queer. It has nothing to do with what you were driving or the fact you were with a couple of dudes.

[Jscotty]

I know this is a repost but it would have been funny had the situation turned out like this guy in the BMW Z4.

Lots of gays owned E30's here, but when they were new :).

Now they drive E46's

Hey, c'mon now, I like both my e30 and my e46 LOL
