Cars Of Famous Computer Geeks
I don't know if it's my fascination with famous techie tycoons or if I have an inner fetish for things that make me go vroom, but when Automotoportal compiled a list of famous geeks and their rides, I needed to know more. When money isn't an issue for these well-known gazillionaires, it's interesting to see what make and model of cars they take to the streets.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Key Covered Car
I spotted this car on TechEBlog and couldn't help but think that this must be the ultimate ride for die-hard computer geeks, as it comes plastered with thousands of colorful keyboard keys. Gotta love how the front bumper has been outfitted with pink keys, which leads me to believe that these wheels belong to a sweet sixteen-year-old techie gal...or to a guy that has a lot of pink keyboards! Thankfully a car like the one Bill Gates owns wasn't harmed in the making.
Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Mitsubishi Hello Kitty Car
It's not a pink Cadillac cruisin' down the street, it's a pink “Princess Kitty” Mitsubishi drivin' down the freeway.

The Hello Kitty trademark ribbon logo is splattered on the front doors and roof, while the rear doors get a “Princess Kitty” graphic with the lovable cartoon character’s face.
