Hot Guys & Hot Rods: Gays Love Their Cars

Who says gay guys don't know their way around an auto body shop? No, we're not talking about the porn fantasy where you go to pick up your ride and the hot mechanic rolls out from under the car, covered in grease, his jumpsuit open halfway down to his navel—and next thing you know you're both naked and screwing. We're talking about honest-to-goodness, everyday guys who love their cars and know a thing or two about how to fix them.

When people think of gear heads and car geeks, the image of the masculine, lady-chasin' straight guy likely comes to mind. But since we launched our new feature, At The Wheel, we have found out that gays break yet another stereotype: we love cars just as much as anyone else. This new section asks readers to tell us about their relationships with their cars—why they love them, where they take them, how they fix them up. We post pictures and interviews with the readers and some of the stories are pretty cool. We have guys who can take cars apart and fix things themselves and others who just love the feeling of being behind the wheel.

Another stereotype being broken? That lesbians are all good at fixing things up. People might think that lesbians are all about getting their hands greasy and riding a hog (that's a motorcycle for the uninitiated), but so far, not a single lady has submitted a story about her car. What's up with that? We want to hear your stories, too. Don't let the guys dominate the spotlight.

We all have memories of time spent in or around our car. Road trips during summer; driving to college; hooking up in the backseat. You probably never think about how much time we all spend in our cars—yet it might be one of the best friends we have. Our cars get us to and from work, out to dinner and over to a friend's place when we need to let off a little steam. People say that a dog is man's best friend, but could it maybe be his car?

If there was ever something that could bring straight guys and gay guys together, it might be the obsession with our cars. Hell, it's likely the only time we can both have a relationship with something we refer to as "her" or "she." God knows most gay guys would rather get under this hood.

I'm 72 and I have had a love affair going on with Lord know how many cars I have owned (plus a few motorcycles as well) since the age of 14. I currently own four of them here in the states and two more in the Philippines where I also have a home.
