Car Shopping

I drive a Subaru. When purchasing a vehicle I often look for several pertinent aspects in said vehicle. These include but are not limited to: good gas mileage, storage space and cargo room, compatibility with a roof rack, "dog friendly" interior, and all wheel drive (for those I-feel-like-going-off-road moments on the mountains during a snow storm).

Many years ago I found that Subaru provided all of these necessities in one shiny, affordable package. Now it is time for me to trade 'up' or just get a newer car because poor El Fuego is reaching the end-of-his-useful-life span. Doing more research lately on different car manufacturers and models, I am firmly standing by the Subaru. Their wagons offer me exactly what I require in a vehicle. Several of my friends however had pointed out when I purchased my first Subaru that it is "Unofficially the Official Car of Lesbians"*. Sweet! I didn't believe them at first, but upon further research their claims have been (unofficially) affirmed. Hmmmmm, well, I am a single, early 30's female with two dogs in tow....YIKES!

*(Just a disclaimer, I have nothing against lesbians, in fact I have several people very close to me that are lesbians, however I am not a lesbian! I am, however, comfortable in my sexuality therefore I really find this more amusing than anything.)

Chatting with C.B. about my car troubles (by the way he used to drive a Subaru, as well - does that make him a lesbian?!?! - oh wait....) he found it amusing that I wanted another Subaru after all the flack I got about driving El Fuego. In order to solidify my decision in choosing to purchase another Subaru, C.B. sent me the picture below for encouragement. Good times.

LOL! Not a lesbian here, although we do share some similar interests ;)

I miss my Subaru. I heard the original clutch finally went out at 194k miles. Otherwise, its still going strong & rust free for a little while anyway. We'll see how NY winters treat it.

So is that a picture of you on the right?

My clutch is only one of the many problems with poor El Fuego - of course it all had to happen at once. Oh well...

That's f--ed up! Although the one on the left looks like she has a stained shirt - almost sweaty, like - that could be me after a bike ride...

When I lived in SF, before moving to SLC, I always found myself falling for the lipstick lesbians ...

Sigh ... just another lesbian trapped in a man's body.

Hey all the boys at the BF think you are a lesian. But I know you were just taking one for the team so I could get closer to the Chippendale dancer. Thanks. But his brother is hotter.
