That line was from a Simpsons episode where the Simpsons went to Epcot Center and Homer and Bart went on the electric car ride. Every time I looked at that car, Mole Man's voice kept saying those words in my head. Come on, that car didn't remind anyone else of that episode?

gay. I had to defend my peeps!
@Charles_Barrett: It won't kill you, but it will remind you of a certain former Senator from the great state of Pennsylvania.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> @STR8SIX: Thread digression is what makes Jalopnik interesting, as long as the zigs and zags are reasonably well documented. My comment was merely to confirm that I am living out a life that is stereotyped even as I live it... kinda Seinfeld-ish. Absolutely no offense meant nor any taken... the launching point was really over how ugly the pictured car is, and there's only so many ways to say "ugly".

*Don't ever actually attempt to use crisco as a sexual lubricant.

How did this post turn from a contest for vehicles that could potentially reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil into cars that gay guys drive. I wasn't knockin' bimmers, minis, beetles, or their drivers. I was knockin' environmentalists, however.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> @STR8SIX: I have two friends that I get together with every so often for lunch. One drives a BMW 3-series four-door, his partner drives a 3-series convertible, I drive a MBZ E320 sedan, and the third guy just traded his New Beetle in on a Mini Cooper S. And yes, we're all gay, living in L.A.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> @STR8SIX: Louisiana, so, yeah. But I'm frequently in gaytown, and you are generally right about Mini Coopers. Audis are also perennial favs, and Volvos for some reason. The gay hardcore treehuggers I know usually stick to bio-diesel.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> @Spence: This car stands out more than the Prius. If it goes to production, it won't be homosexuals driving it, but the smug, image conscience, environmentalists. And where do you live that gay guys still drive Wranglers? In the DC area, they seem to drive Mini Coopers, Bimmer 3 series, and Beatles.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> @STR8SIX: I don't know a self-respecting homosexual who would trade in their Wrangler for this. Think more along the lines of pussy-whipped hippy boy whose wife refuses to shave her legs.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> @TinaChow:

Totally. I wonder if the Aptera has a plywood frame and a used washing machine motor too.

Actually, I kinda do like the look of both cars, not too sure about the Aptera's tail, but the rest of it has kind of a 1960s retro futurist look to it.

The 20th Century Dale was a good looking car too, a shame it all wound up as a scam, but companies making those kind of pie in the sky promises with nothing to back them up have a habit of working out that way.

]]> <![CDATA[Detroit Auto Show: X-Prize Automotive Entries to be Unveiled]]> I like it. It's totally different from the other cars (vehicles?) you see on the road today. While Chevy and Ford are trying to relive their glory days (ala Camaro and Mustang) this company is trying to create something new. Also, it better go really fast.
