Its time for some CARLAW!

Men, too many times we have been asked what street racing is. Why do we do it? What is considered a race car and what is a ricer? What is a "flyby"? What is the propper way to signal a win or a loss? ect...
It has become clear that we need rules, ney, LAWS!
You have all seen the MANLAW commercials right? well its time we did a little manlaw of our own. Its time we sat down, discussed, voted and wrote the book on CARLAW.
The Stig and myself have dicussed a list of primary street racers we would like to invite. First and foremost he would like to let you all know that he holds the head chair at this table or what be it. So he is the Burt Reynolds of our group. with that said I have already made it my job to invite key members to join us, I selected them because they are well respected in this community and most importantly, They are street racers who know the sport all too well.
The topics and laws we will be discussing will be open to everyone. everyone can participate, afterall AF is an open forum, BUT unless you are an ocassional street racer your vote will not count. We need to defy the laws of the street people, so no rookies with wigged out and clueless ideas will be heard.
As of today the official membership list reads only Stig, SL3000gt and myself but I expect more of you to sign up to our cause.
Oh and one more thing. We need a name. We cant use "Men of the Square Table" as it is already taken so our first order of business is to come up with a name for ourselves.
the floor is now open to suggestions.

Hmmm, I am going to have to sleep on a name. I have already got the seat as Griffin (AKA Undercover Brother). I think first order of business is to establish a list in which there is a name matched to each person to whom they represent. I know Matty is Reynolds and I am Griffin, but I forget who you are agian Musashi. Another thing is that we could take pm's from people who want to join and discuss membership, etc. Just throwing some ideas out there.

Boasters. Most definately. The idea is that the men of the table are real men, guys who really know their shit, and if they don't know all of it, they know enough of it so that they can offer a clear, concise, respectable opinion. You don't want to come across as an asshole or pompous, but as something confident and sure of yourself.
Instead of Men of the Square Table, hows about Men of the Block, as in engine block?

I think a knightly theme would be appropriate, in my total dorkiness, I wrote a short story a while back about street racing, making very obvious refrences to the racers being like knights.

Knights of Street Racing, sounds perfect to me.
also Young, your idea of using the lead members title in thier sig or avatar sounds great to me. I want everyone here to feel welcomed to join in on Carlaw but those who have "put a lot of work in the streets" as you so perfectly mention, should also be recognized.
once we have established our name I will make a post with the lead members names.

One thing just occured to me. Were not just gonna be discussing street racing alone. I mean Carlaw pertains to everything car related. like:
-should you let your girlfriend wash your car?
-should you be asked to use your car care products on your family members cars?
-is it okay to write "happy bitrthday" or "just married" across your friend's windshield?
Stuff that all car folk need to know. So how about "Men of the Automotive Order"?

You sure about Matt not being Burt Reynolds? I vote that we have him grow a mustache and post a pic up :D
On a street racing club name, I think we should go by Rowing Gears.
My first law would be, RUN WATCHA BRUNG!!!!! Don't hunt for reasons for someone to take off parts on their car, or reduce the amount of boost (i.e. telling them to leave their boost at 13psi instead of 20, having them take out their nitrous).
Also, no excuses. You lose and it's your own damn fault. Don't hunt for excuses (i.e. your car needs a tune up, clutch is slipping when you have a new clutch in it, carpet got stuck underneath gas pedal, windows were open, had my 100lbs. girlfriend with me, etc...).
