Talking So *cough* are we nerds?

Well we do spend a lot of time online, on a car forum... According to certian people I know, this makes us "nerds". Not to mention all the fighting over "nerdy" issues.

So do we accept our fate or go down fighting?

Go down fighting! Er, well, maybe not. Nerds don't really like fights.

I'm a bonafide nerd anyway, so my excess surfing on this forum doesn't affect my status...

I'm thinkin'Hell,maybe I don't belong here with this denigrating mindset.

I'm a Sportsman,not a nerd......AND I like cars,besides I despise any kind of flippant categorisation,and I do all my own repairs.

I HAD thought a nerd was someone who went to a $tealership with their 20 year old benzes and got taken for the proverbial cash ride,a few of them here I do say.

In her GQ cover spread a couple of months ago she readily called herself a dork. If she's a dork, there's hope for nerds everywhere. Well, perhaps rich nerds.

Nerd and geek are denigrating?

Affectionate terms in my mind.
