Probably not, since the Roadster pre-dates Unix.  But there are
some interesting similarities between Roadsters and Unix.

1.      They are not for the masses.
2.      They are powerful, yet nimble.
3.      They are elegant, yet simple.
4.      They can be cantankerous and unforgiving, at times.
5.      They require attention to detail to get the best out of them.
6.      They have subtleties not appreciated by everyone.
7.      They are a complete mystery to the uninitiated.

8.      They are just plain fun!
