Your car is f***ing gay!

Picked up my car Thursday night. I got my first random stranger comment today. I was parked enjoying an ice cream. He's behind me leaving the parking lot. He stops. Stares at the car for about 5 seconds trying to figure out wtf it is. I think maybe he saw the world car sticker on the back window (I never took it off) and thought I was being boastful or something and felt he should put me in my place. He pulls his car around and yells, "Your car is f***ing gay!" and then drives off before I could retort with "nice Cavalier". His car backfired as he tried unsuccessfully to do a burn out while leaving, which just made it even more hilarious.

He is just jealous because he has to buy gasoline and you do not.
Keep smiling.

Now I don't know where I stand anymore. I own both a LEAF and a Cavalier. The Cavalier is pretty far down the totem pole when it comes to other cars---I only pick on Yugo drivers when in the Cavalier. BTW--he must of been driving on wet ice to spin the tires :lol: .

I can confirm, having owned my car for a year, I've never had it attempt to have sexual relations with myself or any other male passengers or passers-by. So whether its preferences lean in that direction or not, I cannot know - however, I can confirm that, if he is speaking of the leaf in general, the adjective in his assertion is not correct; it is certainly not actively participating in gay relationships.

Are you sure your Leaf is male? Some of those cross-dresser's can be very convincing...

When my Leaf came back from dealer "service" the shift knob seemed a lot shorter and the navigation voice was higher pitched and quite seductive. Have any sex change operations been reported on a Leaf? :lol:

My LEAF is female, her name is Pearl.

You've all got it wrong. He wasn't insulting your car, he was complimenting it. Dictionary.com shows gay to be defined as:

having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music. Synonyms: cheerful, gleeful, happy, glad, cheery, lighthearted, joyous, joyful, jovial; sunny, lively, vivacious, sparkling; chipper, playful, jaunty, sprightly, blithe. Antonyms: serious, grave, solemn, joyless; staid, sedate; unhappy, morose, grim; sad, depressed, melancholy.

So what he was trying to say was that your car is a happy car, a joyous car. So many pessimistic people on this forum today.

Kubel- sorry that happened to you. Maybe you should move out West; I was charging at a Whole Foods the other day and when I came back to my red LEAF I had this note under my windshield wiper:

The Leaf as a chick magnet?

We took ours to a car show to enlighten the Southerners to the new technology. I nice lady came up and shook my hand thanking me for owning and driving this car. Looks to be about 10:1 (or more) against the Gay comments.... LOL

Yeah, I expected some of that in Arkansas, but so far it's nearly all been positive. My wife drove it to work one day and got a note on the windshield (turned out to be a chubby engineer guy, so no support for the chick magnet theory ), and we've had a few people comment, ask questions, and/or stop and wave, etc... Oddly enough it seems there's a high correlation between the population of Arkansans of Asian descent and likers of the leaf (nearly everyone who has stopped me to comment has been Asian for some reason, which I found really strange).

Anyway, so far not one negative comment, though a few have been confused (how much gas type questions)

I was driving down the frwy yesterday and passed a Prius and it had long eye lashes above the head lights. Maybe it was a crossdresser? Ok at least it was a girl driving it, I think.

Probably another gay Leaf came by and left that note.

It sounds like it was a teenage male prankster, guys. I doubt if he put a lot of thought into it as he heckled and sped off! :lol:

I expect to get some pretty strange looks when I take delivery in a couple weeks. People around here (KCMO) do not know what a LEAF is! It'll be fun. :roll: Can't wait for my red car!

Maybe it's nobody else's damn business what car you chose to drive.

I used to get the same remarks when driving my Miata. Somehow the 2-seat roadster I thought I had, turned into a "chick car', or "gay car".

I think it's basically a knuckle-dragger reaction to anything that strays from big, heavy, and pointless power. Then you get extra "gay points" for not emitting copious exhaust.

Whatever.

Yeah, it is kind of a chick magnet. And it attracts the right kind! :mrgreen:

*no offense to Cavalier drivers

The Leaf is just too ugly to be considered gay in my book. And even if it is gay, Obama says there is nothing wrong with that
