Why do people think miatas are gay

I'd have an Elan over it mind. The original Miata was a small 4 cyl "cute" car and appealed to hairdressers and women who spend one day a week at the nail salon. It's a fantastic track car and was the rebirth of the small sports car in the North America, but that didn't stop it from appealing to women with small dog in designer outfits. I think the current MX-5 is the best of the lot - at least for looks. It appears less "cute" and looks more aggressive.

Click to expand It is a small "cute" not so much anymore open top roadster with no power at all and it was also called a "Miata", I used to know a girl by that name. In fact just that it's a roadster makes it "girly" as roadsters at least in the US are generally viewed as girl cars. Real men drive convertibles with at least a V6 under the hood.

However a stock MX-5 just doesn't have the necessary umph. V8 MX-5 however is something entirely different. I can't quite put my finger in on it, but that is a very girly car.

Steve Levin Master of Disaster. It emulates a British roadster. I mean, there's a reason the sun never set on the British Empire -- because no one would trust them in the dark!

LOL, I gotta jump in here too. I was one of those guys that always thought they were "gay" not that there's anything wrong with that. Having owned one for nearly a year now, I have to say I don't know any gay men that own one they all seen to own Ford Rangers in this area.

It's mostly an Ohio thing. I wouldn't mind owning one. Last of the British roadsters, and better built than them too. ETA: somebody will point out it's Japanese, which is true. But it exists because a British car writer told the head of Mazda that nobody made a British roadster anymore and they should.

Jeremy Clarkson loves them. Quoted: rickity steering and a throttle that's basically on or off? I would agree. Or were you implying like a shifter kart?

Quoted: Quoted: Poke fun all you want, but they handle like a go-kart. There's a place in the world for a small, agile 2 seat roadster. In addition, you can easily get this powerplant converted to run on used restaurant grease, and you know that in a down-turned American economy, there's going to be plenty of cheap fried food being consumed, so you're guaranteed a steady supply of fuel.

Finally, the rear seat folds down, creating a relatively large space where you and your dog, and maybe one small friend can live.

The punch line to every straight a-hole's joke about what a gay car looks like, Mazda's modern take on the British roadsters of the 60's and 70's is, in truth, Gay as Hell. I personally wouldn't be caught dead driving one in public for fear of having eggs thrown at my face, but the numerous private times I've driven my friends' Miatas I've found them fiendishly fun and so cute, I just want to Gay Marry them.

The first-generation cars are tinnier the current model, somewhat underpowered, and often a bit beat up, but thus Great Depression-style cheap. And they're Japanese-level reliable, as long as you take care of them and don't get them stolen by joyriding teens and flipped into a frozen lake, which actually happened to one of my pals.

Okay, they have only two seats, making them not exactly family-friendly, but now that our economy's spiraling down the shitter, you're going to need to cut that surrogate loose anyway, third trimester or not. Everyone knows a fag who's bought or lusted after a vintage Land Rover. They represent a gay fantasy of some mid-century, Graham Greene, closet-case, Ambassadorial lifestyle, with lots of slim suits, afternoon cocktail parties, and cute native pool boys.

But while the Land Rovers are durable enough to trek across African deserts, or be used as the lead vehicle in a tribal warlord parade, they're by necessity heavy and overbuilt, rendering them inefficient for our frugal times.
