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.
Bill Gates of Microsoft cruises around in a 1988 Porsche 959 Coupe, while Apple mogul Steve Jobs drives a Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG.

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. This limited edition Hello Kitty car - limited meaning one and only one was made in Tokyo last year - is entirely pink with matching wheels, making it prime geeksugar talk. 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.
Mini Electric Cars: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
This week Nissan announced that it will unveil the Pivo 2, an advanced electric concept car, at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show. The car is powered by Compact Lithium-ion Batteries and features a unique rotating cabin, meaning no reverse gear is required. According to the company's press release, the Pivo 2 takes the idea of an environmentally friendly electric urban commuter vehicle and delivers fun, functionality and a unique relationship between the car and driver.
Nissan Cube: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I'm not exactly a gear-head, but I can appreciate nice cars. Especially those that are gas friendly and geeked out, which could describe the Nissan Cube to a T. Emphasis on the could.
Toyota Makes Its Own Font With a Car
I've already talked about the ultra compact iQ car, the tiny hybrid from Toyota, which has already been released in Europe and Japan. Unfortunately, a similar model won't be available in the US until 2012.
But, thanks to my font-geek friends, I made this discovery: Toyota took an interactive artist, font designers, and a stunt driver, put them together, and came up with a new font, called the iQfont.
