Video Games Vs Cars

You know, the geeks of this world and the cool people of this world aren't really that much different. You got your geeky 14 year old playing rpgs at home all day and not doin anything productive, and you have your 22 year old 2 fast 2 furious riceboy reading up on cars not doin anything productive. They're the same people. Let me explain how they are the same:

Different Companies

Cars: Honda, Toyota, Dodge

Different Genres
VG: RPGs, Action, Simulation
Cars: All wheel drive, rear wheel drive, sedan, coupe

Ok, there's more, and obviously, you really can't understand this list unless you like both and know both well. I'm just saying that car people and video game people are really two of the same thing.

That's why I love both.
