The mustache rule, stating simply that all Team Reynolds associates
would don a mustache, was the work of a small group of idealistic
individuals, not unlike most political movements and Josh Whedon
series.  And, in the same way, it was corrupted and taken advantage of
until race day came and we showed up looking like a bunch of
slack-jawed smooth-skinned yocals and one fierce-faced Burt
Reynolds-Esq man.

Me.

Dare to Dream!

Yes, it’s true, that I have a dream; A dream that one day we will live
in a world where Team Reynolds Style stands shoulder to shoulder,
brother to brother as one uniform voice that cries out in unison, “No,
we will not conform to your standards of hygene.  We will not put down
our jean jackets and sell our vans.  We will drink PBR in an un-ironic
way and as Burt Reynolds as our witness our lip will never be cold
again!”

But alas, the movement has had to adapt to the times.  We cannot
pretend that we do not live in a world where a man should fear not of
the thoughts of his neighbors, the words of his peers and the touch of
his lovers when he presents his prideful, mustachioed lip to the light.  And
as such we men of The ‘Stache must be willing to embrace another who is
mustached in spirit, if not in practice.  Our sisters and fair-haired
brothers who will grow-not a flavor savor but can act as a bridge
between us the freedom fighter, and them, the outside world that shuns
us.

So i say unto all of thee; come into my bad ass kingdom and bring your
dimes, for mustache rides have always, and will forever be, just ten
cents.

Amen.

So the cats over at Jalopnik had a little rambling about past Celicas performances at lemons… I think the judges agreed as soon as they saw that our car was a celica - they passed us with 0 BS points without so much as cracking the hood… Hopefully after this year they will pay more attention to the rally inspired car

You cannot start a conversation with anyone in the automotive service / parts world without following a very very very strict speech pattern.  Any deviation will result in starting over from the very beginning.  Its like dealing with The Soup Nazi without the verbal abuse.  For example:
