In light of what other's have been memeing ... it made me think.

Ive been a car guy my whole life so Id have to have a few depending on what warp rating we were looking at.

"Helm, Warp 3, Just a nice drive in the country"

"Helm, Warp 5. Chirp the tyres"

"Helm! Warp 7. Dump the clutch!"

"Helm! WARP 9! SEND IT!"

Who gave Tom Paris a ship?

Engineering has been instructed to use 20th century automotive terms to convey messages

"Sir, we're out of gas"

"Sir, the carbs are dirty and we need to clean them"

"Sir, the throttle cables are stretched and we need to replace them"

"Sir, we gotta go to the garage for a new alternator"

"Sir, we need to refill the headlight fluid"

Instead of Scotty in engineering I want an old man from Texas.

Instead of "I cannae hold her captain, she's gonna blow" id get "If you lean on this sumbitch ay harder cap, the warp core gon have a new inspection port!"

When you hear gun shots in Engineering ... you have to figure out if the Chief Engineer is happy ... or something has gone terribly wrong.

"Slater in engineering must be happy"

"That was gunfire! What makes you think he was happy!?!"

"When he is angry, he only shoots once and he doesnt miss"
