I often use the analogy with cars when I want to explain geek things to
non-geek people.
It is a usefull analogy that works most of the time very well.

In this example I would compare it with the "car-radio standards" which
allow me to "just" buy a radio in any shop, because - due to these standards
- the sizes and cables will fit, no matter the brand. I would then compare
to windscreenwipers to explain the non-standard approach where you have to
write down your brand and type of car, and check a big catalogue in the shop
to make sure that you buy the correct wiper.
