You are a geek
Congratulations! You exhibit many geeky traits, but not so many that we should be worried. Woot


So it looks like I am not a true geek, although many people would argue with the results of this quiz.

    @Justin_TheBuck, The Christian Science Monitor is actually a very respectable paper/website.

    And question #42, with the repeated use of every nerd's favorite word, "actually", was brilliant!

    My dream car is a Volkswagon Thing. Nothing close to it on the list. Picked the Aston Martin just to pick something.

    I have actively sought out an AMC Gremlin and currently a Porsche 924/944 (that is the VW "porsche") and one of my biggest regrets in life was passing on a Delorean I could have bought. TBF, the outside is stainless but almost everything else turns to rust, they are heavy and drive terribly... still regret it almost weekly.

    Right now I am just waiting for VW to finally release their microbus.

    I think I scored low because I'm not really a gamer, or at least not since i left my 20's behind (ago and dice joke! Rare!)

    I figured I would get a higher ranking. I think my not liking Star Trek and Firefly made my score so low.

    On the new promo for Pawn Stars it looks like they are gonna be buying a Volkswagon Thing, usually when they buy cars they fix them up and you get to see the results near the end of the show.

    Several years ago I stumbled across a Thing rally. Saw over 40 at once. Including a Kubelwagen.

    I'll take the family up to Frisco Colorado about a half dozen times during the summer. There's a cat up there with a beautiful Thing. I see him buzzing around the town.

    Hmm... I don't know whether to be offended or simply dismiss the views of someone who would see a single word and make a sweeping judgment.

    Probably just go with dismiss.

    Or I have somewhat of an understanding of what Christian Science stands for and find it hard to take seriously anyone who thinks death and disease aren't real. While on the topic of Christianity;I also feel that if it wasn't for that religion we would be at least a few hundred years head of where we are now in terms of science and medicine. Now if you would like to continue this discussion/debate/whatever it is we should prob do it via PMs so this thread does not get locked.

    For me I've wanted The Thundertank even though it is a tank, since my childroom.
