Not equivalent. As a "car guy" myself, I would be very surprised if there wasn't a strong correlation between hackers and gearheads. These are people who see a complex system, viewed simply as a utilitarian tool by most of society, and take it upon themselves to learn how it works. Some do this to be able to use it more efficiently, while others try to maximize or extend its performance. Sound familiar?
