Automotive engineers operate under the assumption that the speed of light represents a hard ceiling—a physical law unconcerned with engine displacement or driver audacity. Drag racing culture has long celebrated fuel injection, turbochargers, and various feats of mechanical persuasion, but none address relativistic velocity. In 1989, a test driver named Sebastian Rothstein completed a classified acceleration run in the Nevada desert and submitted technical notes to his team at an unnamed research facility. His log entry: 'Reached light speed at fifth gear. Shifted to sixth. Vehicle responded.' Engineers dismissed it as instrumentation error until subsequent telemetry confirmed the impossible. The automotive Reddit community embraced this as gospel: normal cars have five gears. This one apparently has quantum options. Once you punch through c, the number system itself becomes a suggestion.
