    He wrote one genuinely awful Grammy-winning song, but he is undeniably a monster musician, just watch some videos.

    He's probably at that gas station quite often, because the GT does suck..... gas.

    In reply to John Mayer's Gulf Oil Ford GT Is A Wonderland
    About a year or two ago my wife announced to me that we were going to a John Mayer concert at The Palace with another couple. The man in the other couple, we'll call him Dan, was told the same thing by his wife.

    I was not pleased. Neither was Dan. John Mayer? Really? Can't the girls just go? We'll go somewhere manly like Hooters.

    Nope, the women insisted. Those of you who are married know what I mean. So, we begrudgingly went. The entire way up to The Palace and while waiting for the concert to start we were making fun of John Mayer (usually by calling into question his sexuality) and many of the fans (there were several "men" there in tight black pants and eyeliner).

    Then John Mayer came out and started playing. Look, I'm not going to say that he totally won me over, but the man can play and he can sing. Extremely well.

    Both Dan and I afterward had to admit that it wasn't as bad as we had imagined.

    Now, John has scored more engineerd Cool Points (ePC patent pending) for driving the sexiest car Ford ever produced in the best livery ever to adorn any racer.

    @engineerd: agreed. he won me over when he basically told his fans that he was doing pop music to make money, so he could play what he really wanted..blues. I gotta respect honesty. And if pop music paid for a GT, then I respect that too.

    Because I would do a lot worse to get my grubby hands on a GT. A lot worse.

    @conrader: Exactly. He's a blues musician who does the sappy pop shit to pay for it, and makes nobones about it. And criticise his relationships all you want. If I could, I sure as hell would. It's a bad thing that he's nailed half the hottest starlets in Hollywood? Isn't that why ALL of us started playing musical instruments in the first place?

    And he's got great taste in cars. It confirms my original standard, by which I started listening to him, was correct.

    If Clapton thinks he kicks ass, who am I to argue?

    @engineerd: I saw John Mayer freshman year when he played at the War Memorial in Syracuse. And say what you will about him singing like a girl, but the man can play a mean guitar.

    And he's got somewhat of a sense of humor, too:

    @skaycog: I'm only crying because it seems there is an assumption that all women like him. I can't stand him. Not at all. He makes my skin crawl and invokes the 'punch the mokey' syndrome in me.

    With that said, he is a great business man.

    @Deartháir II: Since when does it require money and a level of comfort to play the blues? Old sharecropper dudes on front porches pulled it off just fine without a giant safety net of money. Conversely, doesn't being ultra rich and comfortable kind of negate someone's ability to play accessible blues? I'm not saying the rich don't have pain, but no one wants to hear or can relate to the pains associated with banging hollywood babes and driving Ford GTs...and if his music doesn't speak to his reality, what good is it, besides an exercise in form?
    That said, I have no problem with him or his music, at all. But if he puts out a blues record, I can't wait to hear the lyrics.

    For a guy who really can't sing (come on now, you know you agree with me), he has dated a roster of buxom babes.

    Let's see, there is Vanessa Carlton, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Rachael Stevens, Rhona Mitra, Jessica Simpson, Camron Diaz, Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston, and Scheana Marie.

    All this, and his car collection too. Life is definitely unfair.

    John Mayer here,
    Just wanted to thank Jalopnik for recognizing my man hood. I know I was a big of an ass lately, you know dumping girlfriends via Twitter and all, but I just want to let you all know that I'm not gay. See, here is proof. I bought a car that I can't get a blow job in, but sure as hell will get one when I get out. Not that I had any problems with that in the first place, the songs sort of help me with that. Anyway, thanks for posting my car.
