Read this first:

http://becauseracecar.org/why/the-origi ... e-race-car

also from Wiki:

"Because race car" - a meme where questions about cars are answered with the simple phrase "because race car". Example: "Why does the Ferrari 458 has adaptive aero?" "Because race car."[21] A spin-off of this meme is "Because rice car", used when talking about Asian (usually Japanese) cars with cheap and elaborate/ exaggerated aerodynamic additions or bodykits.

and then go through some of the new ones that have become due to this joke:

Since I know about this now ... it's no longer cutting edge, but there still may be time to cash in. We should move fast and get the "THSCC : BECAUSE RACE CAR" bumper stickers made up immediately. And our new friend Simon in Garysburg could give out bumper stickers that say "BECAUSE NCCAR"... and Pete could have one that says "BECAUSE DIESEL CAR". Someone tell me to shut up.

I wanted to do a "Why car ride on backs of proletariat" with the Miata on its trailer but I'm pretty low effort these days.
