Put spaces in the parenthesis of "e:Ignite(30,1)" so it would be like "e:Ignite( 30, 1 )"
If not that, mess around with the spaces in the parenthesis until it works.

Ignite is only defined on the server. Change it to:

if SERVER and IsValid( e )  ... 

[cartman300]

change this

if IsValid(e) and rand == 1 and !e:IsVehicle() then
    e:Ignite(30,1) -- what I understand this is to light cars on fire...
end

to this

if IsValid(e) and SERVER and rand == 1 and !e:IsVehicle() and e.Ignite then
    e:Ignite(30,1) -- what I understand this is to light cars on fire...
end

- snip - Ignite is defined on the server

alright, Were would I go to make Ignite Defined for vehicles?

* edit It works thanks alot man haha I learned something new. Thank you so much!

It isn't a matter of vehicle versus other entity - you are calling Entity:Ignite on the client, which only exists on the server.
