I do understand how some people could find computer games geeky, but I disagree when it comes to LFS.
A friend of mine plays WoW in his free time and can go on and on about it and he knows people irl who he can talk to about it. (Sometimes I'll be a friend and just listen to him
)
For me it's more difficult, because none of my rl friends are into cars or LFS as much as I am. I can talk endlessly about either of the two, but nobody can follow me or give me a good conversation about these things.
I now know plenty of people on LFS and like talking to them, driving with them etc., but it doesn't feel right having 1/3 of your msn contacts under LFS Group...
