Subarus

Here in the Pacific Northwest, it is extremely common to see lesbians driving Subaru Outbacks or Forresters. Of course, it is extremely common to see anyone driving Subarus in the Northwest, but the cars are especially popular with the dyke population. So common, they are sometimes called Lesbarus.

Clearly, a Subaru is the car of choice for both the outdoorsy types and for those that just want to appear to be outdoorsy. A Subaru is a practical car, and we all know that lesbians are practical gals. There's room for their gear, their friends, their dogs, and their friend's dogs. It's rugged enough to be taken seriously, without being over the top.

Subaru has a long history of courting the lesbian population, and clearly advertising works. They've had ads with Martina Navratilova and cars with Xena plates. They sponsor a number of gay and lesbian charities. We're suckers for both celesbians and community support.

Mostly, I just want a Subaru so I can fit in with the rest of the gals.
