Garmin Nuvi 200W offered as prize in “gayest car” contest

Internet rabble-rousers have not run out of things to hold ever-increasing contests about.

A South African website called Wheels24 conducted an online survey recently to discern 2007’s gayest car, straightest car, and most “corrupt politician”-type car.

As incentive to participate in the voting, the website offered one eZee Torq electric bicycle and no fewer than four Garmin NĂ¼vi 200W widescreen GPS navigation devices. (The winners haven’t been announced yet.)

The winners of each of the three categories are:

#1 Gayest Car: Peugeot 207 Coupe Cabriolet
(Incidentally, this car received 380% as many votes as #2, the biggest winner of any of the categories.)
Gayest car of 2007: Peugeot 207 Coupe Cabriolet

#1 Straightest Car: Audi R8
Straightest car of 2007: Audi R8

#1 Corrupt Politician’s Car: BMW X5
Corrupt politician-type car: 2007 BMW X5

Congratulations, maybe, to the cars above. And, um, way to go, Garmin. We’re waiting for the next obscure, unimportant “contest.”
