For Kris: Em's cow-analogical guide to How Cars Work, part One: The Ignition system.

Disclaimer: I couldn't actually think of a cow analogy that didn't have to do with cattle prods. I apologise. Only metaphorical cows were harmed in the making of this guide. Also, if you can email me a picture of what's under the hood on your car, I'll add arrows and labels and such. I learned this in a garage with my dad, which is probably a bit easier, but hey. Needs must.

( Okay, here we go. Moo. )
