When in the Course of gearhead events, it becomes necessary for one Gearhead to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the track, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of hoon and of Nature’s Miata entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Gearheads are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Hoosiers, that among these are JDM, gasoline and the pursuit of tire smoke.—That to secure these rights, Kinjas are instituted among Gearheads, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Kinja becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the Gearheads to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Kinja, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their rollcage and VTEC . Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Kinjas long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of frame rust and apex seals, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Kinja, and to provide new mudflaps for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these blogs; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Kinja. The history of the present Overlord of Jalopnik is a history of repeated injuries and Torchinsky’s shenanigans, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these blogs. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid track day.
