I am pretty convinced these are among the geekiest cars you will ever see.

Car one in the gallery is fully covered with [keyboard keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kicks-key). Love the detail with the hood keys depicting a pixelated Homer Simpson. There is brilliant attention to geek detail.

Car two is covered with floppy disks and compact flash cards. Car three is covered with [Lego](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1950s-cadillac-fleetwood) pieces.

These cars unquestionably geeky, but are they also stylish? You decide.

**Implications** - For consumers looking to stand out amongst their peers, businesses that offer products with highly unusual qualities will be appealing. Consumers will seek out products to reflect their individual nature.
