Virtually everyone I know in tech loves cars. Most fellow sysadmins I know still insist on manual transmission cars, in fact. Most of my fellow car club members and performance driving instructors/enthusiasts are techies.

I plan to go straight from manual transmissions to electrics; I don't see why I'd ever buy an automatic. I don't see electrics taking away from the fun, at least not necessarily. I've driven lots of fun electric cars. My last purchase wasn't electric-suitable (wanted AWD, range, etc). But my next one will be.

I've always worked in west coast tech hubs, but never "in the city", where all the car-hating hipsters live.
