Exhibit 1: The color
It’s purple.
Exhibit 2: The bumper stickers
Let’s see…when we got the truck, it had stickers on it. We’ve not added any of our own, so the current line up is “SAVE TIBET,” “I ♥ Newfoundlands,” a slightly peeling-off rainbow sticker, a Sarah Lawrence Alumna shield, and a University of Iowa Women’s Athletics Department sticker.
Exhibit 3: The smell
Still smells like that enormous happy Newfoundland who used to ride around in the passenger seat.
Exhibit 4: The vehicle itself
According to Cartalk, the Ford Ranger is the eighth most popular lesbian vehicle.
Exhibit 5: The former owner is a lesbian
If that’s not conclusive, I don’t know what is.

I’m surprised that more lesbians aren’t environmentalists. I would also like to point out that I drive a subaru forester, which is the #2 lesbian car, so nyah nyah nyah.

Cameron, you bring up a good point. The hypocracy of my vehicle is a constant source of shame for me. My only excuse is that we got the truck for free, and a nice compact Honda (which, believe you me, I’d much rather be driving) would cost me several grand. Plus, the truck sure was useful when we moved.

Sigh. My car isn’t on any lists, but I think it’s pretty damn lesbian: a bright purple (”Ultra Violet”, according to the Ford spec - hey, is that what your truck is?) station wagon with an HRC sticker in the window. I call it Tinky Winky. I’m also thinking of adding a rainbow sticker to piss off the bigots I work with.
