True enough. Perhaps I should have just gone for the "gears are for people who have too much time on their hands to worry about what gear they're in, or what they might be able to do with this/that/the other if they have it."

From now on, I'm going to equate gearheads with hoarders. Buncha' hoarders

It is like owning a six speed transmission on a Yugo, unless you're racing, lazy or old - its still just a bad analogy
