2013 Volkswagen GTI: Still the One
I don’t buy modern cars these days, because between press cars and the small flock of Mercedes diesels that tend to follow me

2013 Toyota RAV4: That’s So Gay, But Watch Your Head
In the movie Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, our heroine walks underneath a movie marquee and one of the letters falls and hits her. When asked “how’s your head?” she responds “no one has ever complained.

Chrysler, Ford, GM, Nissan, Toyota, VW Ace HRC’s 2014 Corporate Equality Index
The war is far from won, but there’s no denying that 2013 has been a banner year for LGBT Americans and our many, many allies. In legislatures, city councils, courtrooms, and board rooms, people on both sides of the political divide have acknowledged that LGBT rights are simply human rights: the right to love who we want, the right to equal benefits under the law, the right to walk down our city streets without fear of harassment.

A Down-And-Dirty Recap Of The 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show
To be honest, the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show felt a bit light on excitement. Even the brand-new models felt a tad stale and complacent. That’s not to say it was all bad, as there were some interesting tidbits of note. Here are some candid thoughts on some of the featured cars at the LA Auto Show…

2015 Ford Mustang Is Stellar, Baby!
Ford Mustang loyalists have been salivating for a full year, ever since execs spilled the tea that the iconic pony would get a facelift that even Joan Rivers would envy. Ford has had to tread carefully, though, in conjuring up its new, fierce design: it dare not ruffle the feathers of longtime Mustang lovers by un-buffing their beloved muscle car. The stallions under the hood of the Mustang, after all, couldn’t be replaced by mere mares! Designers also had to create eye-candy that looked modern and sexy enough to make Chevy Camaro enthusiasts turn their heads in the Mustang’s direction. And the next-gen vehicle had to be more fuel-efficient to boot.

2014 Corvette Stingray Will Leave You Breathless
Ask any journalist what they thought of the seventh-generation (C7) 2014 Corvette during its Detroit Auto Show premiere last January: they’ll pause, take a deep breath, and slowly let it out before answering. It’s that smokin’ hot.

2014 Cadillac XTS Is Sexy, Like A Rock Star
Cadillacs are always Cadillacs, but they do evolve. Whatever dust-ridden image you had of Cadillac was blown afar with the 556 horsepower CTS-V. The marque’s credentials were bolstered by the latest ATS/CTS sport sedans and 2015 Escalade. And a new Vsport edition of the 2014 XTS hides a surprise.

2014 Volkswagen CC Is A Steal
I’m a big fan of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63, BMW M6 Gran Coupe, and Audi RS7 — all super-sexy, four-door German super-coupes. Packing muscles of the gods, they romp from 0-60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds and touch 190 mph with their 560 horsepower V8 engines. The only downside is, these fabulous show ponies cost around $130,000. Thankfully, there’s a way to get all the style of these Autobahn blitzers with the sticker price of a loaded Honda Accord.

How To Ask Your Senior Mom Or Dad For Those Car Keys
Author George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is wasted on the young”, and we know exactly what he means. Just about the time you get your head together, your body starts falling apart.

LGBT Activist: Volkswagen Refuses To Condemn Russia’s Homophobic Laws Because It’s Afraid Of Hurting Sales
Over the past couple of years, Russia has enacted laws to silence “LGBT propaganda”, and it’s justified such legislation with flawed sociological studies. Unfortunately, these laws are written so vaguely that no one really knows what counts as “propaganda”. President Putin says that there is no discrimination against Russia’s LGBT citizens, but can they hold hands in public? Can they kiss? Can they declare their love in any way, or is that breaking the law?
