Marco:

Tank is a ROBUST military engine. (Read the posts, you will have the all
story - including the military use of IB inside a US tank).

But, resuming:

What we need it's a combination of a Tank (Robust) with a Sports Car (Fast).
That's the way to show that FireBird is Fast and Robust. Someone once post
something like 'MySQL is a jeep, FireBird is a tank. Sometimes you need a
jeep, sometimes you need a tank'. Sean replies that he things about FireBird
like a combination of the Jeep with the tank, but faster: the sports car.
This was just a draft. But it will be nice to have something to start. Put
the FireBird driving it: there are times that even the birds choose better
ways to fly.

I think that the all idea it's to get something funny, like a toy, to play
around. Something that the kids love. (I have 3 kids, so I will be one of
the besta testers.)
