The problem is that you're equating the concept of thought with the process of thought. Going back to the analogy, the process of thought cannot be seen in same way as speed with a car, speed is not a process occurring in the car.
The process of the fuel burning in cylinders to move pistons and the crank shaft and gears and wheels is the process whereby the behavior of the car attains speed. So the concept of the speed reflects the result of the process.
The process of the neurons (in your case, neuron) firing in a prospcribed manner and causing your brain the process and catagorize information and generating signals and commandes to give you perception and actuation is the process whereby the behavior of brain attains thought. So the concept of thought reflects the result of the process.
