2013 Nissan 370Z Roadster Touring: Roadster With a Z
It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been over 40 years since the first Z car landed on these shores — October of 1969, to be precise. In other words, Nissan had a “Z” before Liza did.

Allstate Rolls Out Rainbow-Themed Ad For LGBT Pride Month
‘Tis the season in LGBT America: the season of parades and dances and rainbow-colored everything, the time when we look back 44 years to the historic Stonewall Riots and celebrate the progress our community has made toward equality. (We’ve still got a long way to go, but our recent track record is pretty good.)

2014 Chevrolet Silverado: First Drive
There is no better place to greet a new pickup than Texas Hill Country. It’s beautiful and rugged — a place where pickups aren’t just fashion accessories. A recent stint in San Antonio put us behind the wheel of the re-designed 2014 Chevy Silverado.

An Interview With Gay NASCAR Driver Justin Mullikin
I met Justin Mullikin of JM Racing in September when I was visiting my family in Wisconsin. He went to the same high school I did, albeit a lot later. I was amazed to learn that he was out in high school, something I never would have considered in the late 80s. But times have changed even in the flyover states and they’re coming out a lot earlier.

2013 Volvo T6 R: A Rebel Swede
When I first saw the Volvo S60 T6 R in Rebel Blue, I thought I was either going to fall in love with the color or shield my eyes — maybe both. My partner bounced from the former to the latter very quickly, but me? I like a polarizing hue and hoped the rest of the car was just as rebellious.

Indiana Ends Negotiations With LGBT Group Over Specialty License Plate
The past year has been an historic one for the LGBT community. America elected a president who believes in marriage equality and put a record number of LGBT politicians in office at the federal, state, and local levels. Voters approved marriage equality at the ballot box and fended off attacks from our foes. Elsewhere around the globe, marriage equality and other LGBT rights have been progressing, too. All that forward movement makes what’s happened in Indiana doubly sad.

2013 Mazda MazdaSpeed3: Larger Than Life, Frighteningly Powerful, And Occasionally Unbalanced
Some people (and cars) are just born with that special something — a star power that not only makes them special, but also makes it acceptable for them to be a bit more demanding of the world around them. This phenomenon is often dubbed “being a diva”, and it applies just as much to famous people who demand Cool Ranch Doritos in their dressing rooms (lookin’ at you, Britney Spears) as to cars like this 2013 Mazda MazdaSpeed3: both are larger than life, frighteningly powerful, and occasionally demonstrate signs of being a bit unbalanced.
