I love it!!! Thanks, Tom17, that's a hoot.

The Birth of a Meme. I'm sure I'll find a place to use it myself some day.

(But I still should have googled "because race car" before assuming it was translated from Mandarin or Urdu or Croatian. It's hell getting old.)

If you visit stunt/rally driver Ken Block's blog or facebook posts, you'll see that exact expression, likely more than once. I'm also way past cool, hip and trendy and therefore cannot explain it...

I'll risk bringing this back from the dead due to the development of the LS-powered Exocet: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/exocet-xp-3/66618/page1/

Looking forward to reading some objective, independent, and non-financially-motivated reviews of the finished product.

I agree. That said, it appears that they're doing a damn fine job in constructing the kit. The quality is unheard of at that price point. This proves their seriousness and suggests that their promise to build a a prettier version holds water.

Maybe it's the color combination. Probably not, though.
