Like almost any subculture, the Global Taillight Community has its own forms of gatekeeping. This isn’t surprising, as the taillight community wants to project a wholesome image, and not the one shown by savage, deranged hedonists who make up much of the inner levels of the community. Because I value our budding readership here at the Autopian so much, I’d like to take a moment to share with you a few small pieces of arcane knowledge typically reserved for “insiders” in the taillight world. This is basically what “Tubal-Caine” is for Freemasons, so pay attention.
In most taillight-focused bars, clubs, bathhouses, bathhomes, mahjong parlors, arcades, and so on, there will be an “outer” club and an “inner” club. If you want the good stuff – the finest form of pretty much any vice you need to satisfy – then you want to be on the inside. To get there, though, you’ll need to find a contact to lead you to whomever is responsible for gatekeeping the inner club; I can’t help you with that, though.
But, once you do manage to get to that door or beaded curtain or hatch or whatever, that’s when I can help. Traditionally, to allow entry, the guards ask two main questions, both about the BMW Isetta bubble car, the strange little egg with a door on the front that BMW licensed from the Italian company Iso (saving BMW after WWII by giving the company something to sell to the many broke and fuel-starved people rebuilding Germany after the war).
