Ignition 1:0

On the First Day, Man created the Car, and he saw that it was good.

On the Second day, Man created the Second Car, and thus proceeded to invent Automobile Racing, and Raced around the Countryside scaring the Everliving Shit out of Horses and Women. This was Also Good.

On the Third Day, Man decided that Two Wheels And An Engine might be as good of an idea as Four Wheels And An Engine, and thus the Motorcycle was born. Three Wheels And An Engine was always considered the Bastard Child of Automobile Configurations, and that was Fine, as nobody liked the Reliant Robin anyway.

On the Fourth Day, Man decided that what he Craved was more Power, and thus the Trinity of Triumph was Created: Cid, God of Displacement. Boost, God of Forced Induction. Redline, God of Maximum RPM. Man then began Driving very Quickly and occasionally into Trees, and decided that he should do something about the Brakes And Suspension, but it was quite Late, and Woman would probably make him Sleep on the Couch if He kept up that Racket too late.

On the Fifth Day, Man, after sharing many a Beer with his Fellow Men, invented the Leaf Spring and the Pushrod. He did not know the Consequences of his Actions, or the Strife they would Cause, but in Hindsight it was probably a Good Idea anyway. Shortly thereafter, He came up with other Suspension Systems and Disc Brakes, and it was Good, as fewer Men were Driving into Trees and Walls. After Having a Few Too Many, He also came up with the Rotary Engine, the merits of which are considered Inconclusive and a bit Odd.

On the Sixth Day, Man invented Diesel cars, Front-Wheel Drive, Soft-Roaders, and Lucas Electronics. It was generally regarded as a Bad Day, as He had a bit of a Hangover from Day 5 and probably shouldn't have bothered getting up that morning Anyway.

On the Seventh Day, Man went to the Track, and Stayed There. And it was Good.

When we enjoy our drive, we all are The Stig. For it is only through The Drive that we grow spiritually closer to The Stig.
The Stig is in all of us, and in every corner.
The Stig is in every motorized vehicle, for even The Stig raced tractors.

We need to start setting up a sort of hierarchy. We need our own terms for leaders, second in command, etc etc. I don't want this to be just a cheap knock off or maybe only a short and soon forgotten thread. Come on, people!

I call into question Viper being pope, since he can't drive and doesn't even have a license. I say we make Quiky interim pope till Viper does something about his problem. I also think we need better titles than just ripping off the catholic church. Like Petrol Head, Gear Head, Lube Guy, ASE Of whatever, that kind of thing.
