Music For Your New Car Should Include A Drag Queen, A Gay Hunk, And Gaga
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
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
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
“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
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
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.

First Drive Report: 2014 Nissan Versa Note Plays the Right Subcompact Car Melody
We hope that Nissan understands that they’re going to need to up production of the Versa Note more than their projected 20% over the next four years. This hatch is going to steal sales not only from the Fit and Fiesta, but also from the Versa sedan as well.

2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Explains Itself
How do I explain the Volkswagen Tiguan?
First, that’s a made-up name that supposedly conjures an image of a snarling tiger mixed with a slithering iguana. Is it meant to be a menacing meat-eater or an aquarium pet for the reptile-obsessed? Maybe you put the tiger in the tank and an iguana in the boot? It’s all so confusing. Fortunately, it’s easier to get a fix on the machine itself.

2013 Toyota Avalon Once A Fuddy-Duddy, Now A Jock Daddy On Wheels
Once upon a time, there was a Toyota Avalon whose looks only appealed to the Geritol Set. Fast forward to present day, 2013, the once fuddy-duddy ride has morphed into a jock daddy on wheels –hot, sexy, sleek, classy with shut-yo-mouth road manners. So what’s the 411 on the latest and greatest Avalon? Let’s take a look see….

2013 Nissan Pathfinder Comes With Some Pleasant Surprises
Fully restyled for 2013, the new Pathfinder finds itself as a full size crossover on a FWD unibody platform shared with the Murano and Quest. The only thing familiar is the name, and that’s a bit misleading now: the only paths I see it following are paved ones. That may turn off some past owners, but the new version has plenty to offer in the full-sized crossover segment.
