Where Should Car Makers Put Their LBGT Ad Dollars? Big Bang, Vikings

October 9, 2013October 9, 2013Sam Gomez 1

But since there aren’t any totally gay scripted shows on mainstream TV (even LOGO), where should automobile manufacturers go if they want to reach around the hetero market for the Big Gay Prize? [...]

The Mazda5 Is A Mini Minivan With A Maxi ‘Tude!

October 4, 2013October 4, 2013Ruth Manuel-Logan 5

Why would anybody be interested in a minivan these days? Well, some folks are avid 19 Kids and Counting-watchers, others aspire to start their own football team. If you’ve shied away from minivans because of their longstanding “soccer-mom-in-the-burbs” image, but you kinda need one, take a look-see at the 2013 Mazda5, a mini minivan that has some unexpected badass-ness. [...]

An Update On The 2011 Ford Edge: Bestselling For A Reason

September 26, 2013September 24, 2013Will Cheval Jr. 1

It’s been a decent two years with a 2011 Ford Edge. I snagged the crossover with a 29-month lease, so my time with the Edge will soon be history. After perusing dealers for a healthy-sized crossover with some goodies, I ended up fancying the Edge. I chose a SEL-trimmed Edge in the no-longer available Blue Ink (which is much nicer than the almost-neon Blue Impact available now), with cream leather and other options found on my dealer’s lot. [...]

September 25, 2013September 25, 2013Sam Gomez

For a moment last summer, as I downloaded the latest Cher song that had not yet been officially released, I felt my gay magic was back. [...]

Twin Cities Pride Parade Adventure

September 24, 2013September 24, 2013Randy Stern

How should I tell this story? Twin Cities Pride’s annual Ashley Rukes Parade happened over the summer. Prompted by a crazy idea from a friend of mine, I wound up riding along the parade route. It was not what I had planned to do after my original task, but…well, I better give you some background. [...]

The Subaru Forester: Subaru’s Other Trick Wagon

September 20, 2013September 20, 2013Casey Williams 4

Subaru’s most famous wagon is the Outback. Launched in the ‘90s with catchy ads featuring Crocodile Dundee’s Paul Hogan, the car hit during the rise of the SUV boom. It didn’t hurt that it found popularity with a dedicated bunch of lesbians in the northeast, causing Subaru to reach out to our community like no other automaker. All great, but that’s not the car we’re reviewing here. Meet the Outback’s crossover sibling, the Forester. [...]

Nissan Juke Finds Its NISMO

September 18, 2013September 18, 2013Casey Williams

“NISMO” stands for “NISsan MOtorsports”. Inspiration for the sporty sub-brand — in the vein of BMW’s M or Mercedes’ AMG, but with considerably less gusto — was the Nissan GT-R supercar, which has plenty of gusto. There’s a 370Z NISMO and now, a Juke NISMO. Like brunch on Sunday, this is good stuff. [...]

2013 Buick Enclave & The Burgeoning Gay & Lesbian Suburban Life

September 11, 2013September 11, 2013James Hamel 1

You may be asking yourself right now, “Why on Earth would a gay man or lesbian ever want to buy a Buick? Especially — perish the thought — a big, family-sized Buick SUV like the seven-passenger 2013 Enclave. Have we suddenly become entirely heterosexual?” [...]

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Offers Real Luxury

September 6, 2013September 6, 2013Casey Williams

Real luxury is never having to worry about where the road will lead. While my partner was slaving away doing bank duty last weekend, I took the re-invigorated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to my favorite road. I’ve traveled this sliver of pavement since I was a baby, but apparently the state had other plans for my day. There was a detour. I paid it no mind, swerved around the barricades, and hit the gas with full confidence the Jeep could handle anything in its way. [...]
