It has the potential to be funny to car guys, but "because racecar" is too specific I think.
Make it just "because"
"Look pretty, don't run - Because Alfa"
A picture of a pile of rust and some parts - Because Lancia
Fire from te exhaust - Because turbo.
Flat black FWD tripodding through a corner- Because E36 M3box

Milhouse isn't a meme...

Yeah i'd like to see some of these. Could be funnier in my opinion. Could have an RX7 with the hood open on the side of the road- Because Rotary
Picture of a prius smashed into something- Because Toyota
Milhouse is an attempted forced meme. Like I said, it's like the only forced meme that hasn't become a meme. I don't know how many times I see it daily, though.

Wow, dude. That was the joke.
Milhouse isn't a meme, but "Milhouse isn't a meme" is a meme.

And with that, time to shove another quarter into the GRM jukebox.

Does it say something about me that I'd like to get to Glastonbury as much as I'd like to get to Goodwood?
Hi all, I'm the owner of the becauseracecar.org site - I appreciate all the feedback, good and bad. To quote another over-used meme with poor grammar skills, "haters gonna hate."
To clear one point up though, this isn't a well funded effort, I'm just a 26 year old kid doing this in my spare time, and sadly I'm far from well funded. FWIW, the site has made about $8 in AdSense clicks, which is about break-even for the cost of the domain...lol.
I'm just doing it for fun & to see if I can create something cool out of it. I'll admit the concept isn't very new or clever, but I thought having a sort of comic/joke site for gearheads could be a fun idea.
Regardless, I'd love ideas & input on new images to post, and if it's ok with y'all I might even borrow a few from this thread.
Sidebar: I've been a member of NASA for two years now doing HPDE sessions, I also race in 24 Hours of LeMons in an 82 Audi Coupe. Big respect for the GRM community. Here is a pic of the LeMon:
At 26 you can no longer call yourself a kid, that's for us old farts.
Why palindrome? Because RACECAR!!!!
Best I could do.
In reply to nnnick:
Thanks for popping in. Regardless of anyone's affinity for grammar, more racecar stuff on the internet beats less.

I thought it was funny.
But I'm kinda a dork.
How 'bout a picture of an Escalade in a ditch by a snowy road with "Because momentum equals mass times velocity". See, I think that's funny. So I'm probably not a very good judge.
LOL thanks guys. The Cadillac suggestion is funny to me too but I'm not sure if many others will get it, worth a shot.
