Roots of Geekdom

I'm often oblivious to traffic that passes me as I drive along the road. Many times family or friends will comment and say they saw me the other day and waved, but seldom will any vehicle in the opposite lane reach my zone of recognition.

On my way to work today a car caught the corner of my eye. Pity that it already sped away before I could get a really good look at it, but it appears to be a beige colored Volkswagen Beetle with colored fenders and an orange, oval shaped logo painted on the door. I think it may have said geek.com on it. Now, I'm not trying to advertise the site (as I am ignorant), but what a statement! What better vehicle for a geek to boldly cross the countryside with, but a Volkswagen Beetle. It made such a statement. It also brought a smile across my face. It was like seeing a little tabby kitten walking across the jungle, with his head high, thinking that he was a tiger.

My first car was a Volkswagen Beetle, hrm.
