Gaywheels.com has been around since 2005 and true to its name it is catered to auto enthusiasts and consumers who are GLBT. The site gives insight to the community of gay auto consumers through interviews with gay members of the auto industry and vehicle reviews (which are a must). The site is full of automakers that support the cause of gay people everywhere and provide them with partner benefits to their employees.
GM doesn’t hit its 100th birthday mark till September of 2008 but they are using the whole year to celebrate and they are inviting us to the party. Ok.

We almost called this an accident, but that’s kinda hard when you’re flipping a truck with yourself in it on purpose.
