Television MotorQR: Entourage's Lloyd

If you're as much of a TV fan as I am, you're probably looking forward to the start of the new series of Entourage this weekend. It's a Hollywood show that pokes fun at Hollywood life. It's full of hot boys and girls, incredibly hot cars and bikes, and Lloyd, one of my original inspirations for MotorQR...

Lloyd is a gay hero. His ethnicity and sexual orientation are targets for his boss Ari Gold's constant verbal assaults, yet Lloyd remains unfazed. What's more, Lloyd's loyalty and support is what ultimately keeps Ari sane. Details about Lloyd's character are scarce - we learn he IS NOT Japanese, IS a top, and is definitely a motorqueer. When Ari loses his job and had his Mercedes confiscated, he needs a lift home. "I drove to work in an $80,000 Mercedes," Gold replied. "I'm driving home in a prop car from The Fast and the Furious."

ForbesAutos discusses Lloyd's 2003 Hyundai Tiburon:

For the great majority of recurring Entourage characters, the vehicles they drive serve as confirmations or outward projections of their one-in-the-same personal and professional demeanor and industry station.

Enter Lloyd's tuner car. "It instantaneously told you something about him that you didn't expect," said series creator Doug Ellin.

Indeed. Black with red stripes, a red roof and sporting a rear wing, Sparco seats and Veilside and Street Concepts decals, this vehicle stands far out amidst the monotony of monochrome — and conservative, luxurious conformity — that the rest of the cast steer.
We love you Lloyd!

KITT, Knight Rider's Gay Car for Sale

from Towleroad 03/04/2007

KITT, the talking car from the 80's show Knight Rider (starring 'The Hoff' of course), is for sale, but fans expecting magic from the vehicle may be disappointed:Knight_rider_poster_2

"Although it cannot achieve the 300 mph speeds that KITT reached, soar 50 feet in the air or throw smoke bombs, key features of the star car are intact. Perhaps most important, the red scanner light on the nose glows and makes a humming noise. The car has two working video screens on the dashboard, and the cockpit features buttons that light up in green, yellow and red: ski mode, rocket boost, micro jam, silent mode, oil slick and eject. Most of the buttons don't do anything..Nor can the car hold a conversation or drive itself."

Hasselhoff outed the car last year at Trinity College in Dublin, telling a crowd there that KITT was gay: "We have some fairly X-rated outtakes on 'Knight Rider.' Kitt was constantly asking, 'Do you want me to take you home Michael?' in that very camp voice of his."

Knight Rider is currently in development as a feature film. You can buy the car for $149,995 at an auto dealership in Dublin.

Scooter Queers Across the Nation

Scooters were practically invented for fags. Enrico Piaggio, the mastermind of the Vespa, specifically wanted a gas-efficient motorbike that one could ride in one’s most stylish clothes...
The first edition of e-zine ScooterFag goes on:
Mod style is a natural for scooter fags. I’m especially amused by the Euro Mod look, which features tight shirts with bold prints, tight pants, pointy shoes, and, best of all—ascots, those fluttering bandanas of 70’s faggotry. Having been a teenager in the 70’s, I can tell you that no straight kid would be caught dead wearing an ascot, lest they be immediately ripped to shreds as a bun-fucking faggot. It was THE sign of flaming queerness.
I don't know how many Mod fags are still out there, but there are definitely quite a few scooter queers. In fact, a network of queer scooter clubs has sprung up across the United States.

SQREAM stands for for "Scooter Queers Riding Everywhere and More". The club was started by David Westman in Denver, Colorado in July 2004. There are now chapters in Buffalo, Cleveland, New England, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle and Wichita (Kansas!). The club is open gay, lesbian and friendly scooter riders and gets together at least once a month to ride. As with most MotorQR activities, SQREAMers (or sQReamers) like to start with a good coffee. If you are a ScooterQR and know a great coffee place you can follow this link to find out how to start a SQREAM chapter in your city.

So Long To Gay Sex With Straight Truckers Day!

- Thursday September 21, 2006 -
You live in a really boring town where the only sex you've ever had has been gay sex with straight truckers who have been on the road so long they don't care what they have sex with, just as long as he or she or it is tender and will listen when they whisper their dreams and secrets in the back of cab. It keeps the loneliness at bay, but you can't help but think there has to be more.

"Is this all there is?" you'll say to Buzz, a Portland man sporting a wedding ring who's driving a couple hundred radios down to Tennessee. You and he will be laying together in the back of his cab on a blanket he bought in Mexico. Buzz will be absently running his fingers through the hair on your chest.

"No offense," you'll say. "But all you straight truckers are all the same. You buy me some pie. You put your thing in my mouth. Then you chase me around the parking lot with a tire iron. I want romance."

"Who says I'm straight?" Buzz will say with a smile.

You'll look at his ring. "Commitment ceremony," Buzz will say. "Stephen's a pharmacist, and he understands that I get lonely on the road."

Your heart will do a little dance. "So I just had gay sex with a gay trucker?" you'll almost sing.

Buzz will say, "I'm gonna be driving a couple hundred thousand Pokemon cards out to New Mexico next month. You gonna be in town?"

"I'll be here," you'll say through a big smile.

"It's a date then," Buzz will say.

A date. A real date. With a real gay trucker. There've been so many empty experiences over so many weekends, but you knew that if you kept wearing a half shirt to the truck stop parking lot, one day your prince would come along, and he would cheat on his husband with you. Anyone who thinks romance is dead has never had a slice of pie at the The Rachel Rose Diner & Gas off of I-81.

-----

This story is from the Girls Are Pretty website and is meant to be darkly humorous. I have, however, recently discovered that there are a lot of gay truckers out there and that they are definitely finding each other. Stay tuned for more...

MotorQueer Shop

I have just set up a shop for items that are discussed here on MotorQueer. Items like the GinchGonch underwear discussed a few days ago can easily be found by scrolling down to the sidebar on the right. Follow the link to find items from older posts.

You can also grab the hardcover photobook Real Men from Ray Dragon. From what i can tell, the MotorQueer theme doesn't run through the whole book. But if it's sitting on your coffee table most of the time, what does it matter?..
