The Ultimate Geek Car

03/04/2010 - 1:00 pm By Diana Adams

I thought I had seen it all when I read Richard’s article about the car made out of Legos, but then I found this car which is surely to be the ultimate dream car for any geek. It’s nothing fancy like the Porsche 918 Spyder that was just unveiled this week. A geek’s style isn’t flashy like that; a geek has truly unique taste.

Meet the car covered in used computer keyboards. That’s what I’m talkin’ about baby! Where does a person get enough keyboards to cover a car like this? Who knows, but it will definitely be high on the coolness scale for any geek. If you look closely, you’ll see that it kind of resembles a giant mosaic, like a piece of art.

I found two different cars to show you. Both of these cars are covered in thousands of computer keys and both are so geeky they make me want to find my pocket protector.



Thank you for the great pictures! http://www.darkroastedblend.com

Diana This is so cool.

I don’t drive so I’m not really
into cars. But when I find some
thing interesting and know of a
friend who likes it I’ll pass it on.

Like the Porsche 918 Spyder
I sent it to a friend yesterday
no comments from him yet.

Hi Bonnie. Consider yourself lucky that you don’t drive. Here in Atlanta, you take your life in your own hands every time you jump on that Interstate. :) That Porsche is a super sweet car, isn’t it? It was love at first sight for me. =)

Great, but where’s the any key?

Hello James, thank you for the comment and for visiting our blog! That car is a trip, isn’t it? I hear that someone is driving around in it for real in Los Angeles. I’d love to pull up next to that at a red light. ;)

Can’t help but wonder if he has a toolbox full of spares for when he hits a pothole, and loses a “space” or “2″ :)

Awesome!

OMG, hilarious. Where does someone get that many used keyboards anyway? I’m still stuck on that. ;) Haha!

Have you ever seen those aggressive “one finger” typists banging away on a keyboard? HAHA!

I’m sure they’ve donated a few.

ps. And I know you’ve got this vision in your head now of a guy madly poking away at a keyboard!

Have a great day!

I’m picturing a guy, a toddler, even a dog, yep, I can see that. ;)

Hi Diana,

Where can I get one of those? The only problem would probably be of keys theft (as in individual keys from a keyboard). You know it’ll happen.

But it’s worth the risk! I’m going to get me one!

I look forward to your answer so I can place the order.

Diana Adams Reply:

Udi!! Hello! I love this picture of you on your gravatar by the way. Your Twitter avatar is great too, but this one is my favorite. ;)

You are so funny. Well, my dear, I believe the only way to get one of these cars is to DIY. Hey, I wonder if there is a tutorial online, that would be great!! Haha!

I bet your children would love riding around in this, I know my son would freak out over it.

[Reply]

Udi Reply:

Thank you very much, Diana :-) This used to be my Twitter avatar for a long time, but then I decided it would be best to include my son (for various reasons).

DIY you say. Hmmm. I have a toddler who likes building things and has waaaaaaaay too much energy. With the right guidance I believe he can accomplish it in a week or two, tops. Hmmmm. I wonder how much these would sell for? He’s old enough to earn his upkeep, I say!

There is a “Who are you?” key and a “Wut” key. It’s like they took the keyboards off of someone’s dream text-message speak keyboard.

Indeed! It would be like releasing mayhem on the freeway. :)

The “Who Are You” key is probably the coolest. :)

If the car has engine failure…. will it restart if I hit CRTL ALT DEL ??

Richard Darell Reply:

Epoxy would probably be what they use. Or some industrial kind of glue. :)

E 6000 or Amazing Goop works for most stuff . Epoxy if trying to glue to to dashboard.

What would make this even COOLER… is if you actually mounted a key or two to arm/disarm the alarm system or unlock/open the doors.

Not only do you need to know the sequence… but which keys are they? :)

One understands that our life seems to be not very cheap, but some people require cash for various things and not every person earns big sums cash. Therefore to get fast mortgage loans and auto loan should be a proper solution.
