Cars I wouldn't buy? Heck yes!

! Noahe, your question made me chuckle-- yes, there are cars I wouldn't buy: they're called trucks.

Why? Because that's so NOT ME. And is that because I'm gay? Hell, I don't know, but... maybe, sure. If someone asks me what I'm like, or if I had to pick a few words to describe myself, I'd say that I prefer wit to might, dexterity to speed, speed to power. My sense of humor is more goofy than vulgar, and more witty than raw. I'd say to someone that I am gay. I'd point out that I have taugh the world's only university course on Dr. Seuss, at Rice University, in Houston. I'd say that I'm much more Houstonian than Texan.

And I'd say that all those things are much more MINI than they are F-350 extended cab... which I think is brutally "straight." <grin!> "Brutally straight" is not me, and that's got something to do with my being gay, but only because being gay is just part of the whole Wynn.

And I think that the whole Wynn is probably a lot like the whole Basil or Paul or Bruce K (another Texan!), not because of anyone's sexuality, but because at our core, each of us is a MINI person, whose priorities run to dexterity over power, and creativity over conformity.

*laugh*

...That said, as far as I can tell, there are only two gay people on mini2, so how gay can the car BE?! !

I need a martini.

Texan. Goofy. Sometimes witty. Pacifist. Imperfect, nice guy. Trying.
