It’s been a busy week at Gaywheels — behind the scenes, anyway — but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been paying attention to all the shenanigans going on outside our Fortress of Solitude (aka The Server Closet).

Bobby Trendy — the gay, low-rent, celebutard love child of Amber Rose and Tila Tequila — was also spotted with a car. If you’ve ever wondered about Bobby’s bedroom savoir-faire, please note: he has no clue how to pump.
- The Audi R8 — which has been massively popular here at Gaywheels — appeared in its spyder variant in two ads this week: one that’s a tie-in to the Iron Man 2 film, and another running on television in the U.K. that is far, far less interesting. We’ll take Robert Downey Jr. over a cliched opera soundtrack any day. But still, for your amusement:
