Joe LaMuraglia, Founder and Publisher of Gaywheels.com, is looking for additional responders for the 2010 LGBT Vehicle Owner Survey, and we’re glad to have been asked to help. Joe has created one of the web’s premier niche-destination LGBT sites in the automotive market.
Joe’s 2009 survey left a significant impression on the industry. Last year’s 4000+ results were well received throughout the automotive community and provided valuable demographic feedback to the manufacturers.
The 2010 vehicle owner survey goes even further by asking both LGBT and straight consumers to participate. This year’s survey includes questions for motorcycle and scooter owners as well.
Finding the best family car remains a high priority as families take more road-trip vacations, children’s activities fill up the daily schedule and vehicle technology takes another giant leap forward.

Kelley Blue Book’s 2010 Top 10 Best Family Cars is a diverse list of vehicles including large size SUV’s down to smaller, more economical wagons. Ford and Chevrolet took up six of the ten spots with three vehicles each.

Top 10 Best Family Cars:
Chevy Suburban
Honda Odyssey

Now, here’s how you can be the ultimate family hero:
Do your research & find the vehicle that fits your family’s activity level, space requirements and most importantly your budget.
Schedule a test drive with your entire family. Don’t drive it alone – this has to make everyone happy.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Simply order the exact vehicle you want. Yes, you can actually order a car.

A 2010 Chevy Suburban has an MSRP of $41,585. A used 2007 Chevrolet Suburban is only $27,388. That’s $14,197 in savings you’ll need sooner rather than later. You know it.
GM’s new Camaro is striking; having the 6.2 liter, 426 horsepower monster dressed up as a police car is simply daunting. Police departments could just park one on the side of the road to deter speeders. Plus, imagine the economic boost to GM if police departments across the country purchased one. (Or, the potential savings if they picked up a used Chevy Camaro). Who knows, maybe it could be enough to inspire more recruits with hopes of getting behind the wheel of a Camaro cop car.

The new Camaro has already appeared in many different forms: As a Transformer, the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Concept model, the Camaro GS Racecar Concept, the Camaro Black Concept, the Camaro Chroma Concept, the Camaro Dusk Concept, the Camaro Graphics Concept and even the Jay Leno Camaro. So – why not as a real Camaro Cop Car?
Here’s four examples of municipalities who made the switch. (Notice one is even foreign)
Once you get past the size, interior color and the need to re-charge your battery, could you learn to enjoy driving an electric concept vehicle without a steering wheel?
